I totally recommend like basic stretches like stretching your arms across your chest, stretching your wrist by having the palm face up and gently pulling down by the fingers to get the wrist, lower arm and fingers warmed up, and sometimes a shoulder stretch as well cuz drawing from the shoulder can leave you sore sometimes. hope this helps, and feel free to look up any arm stretches that could totally help out dude!
The recommendation below is an advertisement. Most of the links here are part of Amazon's affiliate program (unless otherwise stated), which helps support this website. It's also more than that - it's a hand-picked recommendation of something I've used myself. If you're interested, here is a full list.
Staedtler Pigment Liners
These are what I use when doing these exercises. They usually run somewhere in the middle of the price/quality range, and are often sold in sets of different line weights - remember that for the Drawabox lessons, we only really use the 0.5s, so try and find sets that sell only one size.
Alternatively, if at all possible, going to an art supply store and buying the pens in person is often better because they'll generally sell them individually and allow you to test them out before you buy (to weed out any duds).
