Everything you need to get participate in Doodle Club...and more.
Paper
First things first, you'll need paper. I'd suggest a ream of cheap copier paper to start with. That'll be 500 sheets for £3.50. If you want to buy your own sketchbook make sure its a good brand (Artgecko) and keep an eye out for spare cardboard and keep that stashed away for when we bust out the Posca pens.
Markers
The reality is that in order to participate in most Korp Academy sessions all you need is a black Sharpie marker and a fine line pen (I'd recommend the Uni Pin 04 Fine Line). These pens will see you good in all of the workshops except for Posca Club and Promarker Pro.
EDIT* Recently we have been using the twin tip Sharpie to replace these two pens.

To add colour you can use any felt tips but I'd suggest splashing out on some Winsor & Newton Promarkers like we use in the studio. They are artist quality without being too expensive. You can pick them up individually although a set of 6 or 12 would be better value. Feeling flush? Go for the set of 24 for £49.99 or 48 for £89.99.
A selection of these pens is essential for the Promarker Pro workshop.

The main element of Doodle Club is working in Posca markers. Unlike other pens these are full of paint so you have the unique ability to layer lighter colours over the top of darker ones. To start with get one thin black like a PC-1M or PC-1MR. A medium black PC-3M and a set of PC-5M pens in various colours. From there you can build your collection.
