Among tools already mentioned.... - Set of colored art pencils: Prismacolor [I bought a box of 36 at a local art supply store. They erase very easily.] - Eraser: Staedtler Mars Plastic Eraser [Best eraser I ever used.

It's a table cover that isn't smooth, but easily drawn on, wide widths, inexpensive and can be sewn/ fitted if you're careful. Sketching pencils with ebony lead is also good, since they leave marks dark as a pen, but the ease of using a pencil. Not the cheapest in the world, but they're about $5 for 12 and that will last a year or better, depending on how often you need them.
