Essential
Optional
If you really get into this, a series of Graphite Pencils can be fun to use. They come in different hardnesses which relates to the amount to graphite they leave on the page. The H Series is the hardest, so it has a lighter touch. HB Series is more like a regular pencil and the softest is the B series which makes a very dark mark.
