Canson MiTintes paper (use the smooth side) https://shrsl.com/39gp9 or https://amzn.to/3HNBEUq

I have a whole comparison video here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P6yGIBfdBT4&t=10s
For beginners, I’d recommend a moderately priced brush tip set such as:
Artify (the 108 set in the plastic storage case is awesome) https://amzn.to/2Z2szp1
Arrtx Oros (they offer several sized options you can buy to avoid duplicate colors. I recommend starting with the 80 set, then the 90 set and then the skin tones so you don’t get repeats and you can collect as your budget allows) https://amzn.to/30Pg1lI *the Arrtx Alp markers are cheaper but do not have a brush tip.
Ohuhu: https://amzn.to/32mFt2J
*the above markers are reliable and easy to get. If you want a more resilient nib and the option to buy refills I recommend the following:
Art-n-Fly: https://amzn.to/3cKuzWt or https://www.artnfly.com/collections/markers?aff=31 *You can also buy art-n-fly markers in packs to avoid duplicates.
Blick Studio Brush Markers: https://shrsl.com/39gcc
*Please avoid the blick illustrator markers as the nibs fray fast, they are cheaper but not with the money.
Acrylic painters:
Golden Open Acrylics https://amzn.to/3kTg2Mq or https://shrsl.com/39ggl
Stay Wet Palette https://shrsl.com/39ggo or https://redgrassartist.com/artist-wet-palette-for-acrylics/
