Question:

Best materials for drawing portraits?

I've recently been interested in drawing portraits of people and since I'm new at this, what are best materials I should use to draw a better looking picture?
Because mine always end up too smudgy and the pencil often fades away at places.
Also, I would love tips on drawing people because I think I'm horrible at getting the mouth and nose right and the hands and feet are frustrating.

Thanks for the help! :)
