What mediums do you use?
When it comes to mediums, I'll try just about any once. However, I really like charcoals, prismacolor markers, prismacolor pencils, india ink and just plain old pencil. Painting is kind of so-so to me since I'm not very good at it and it takes a lot of time. When it comes to paper, I like smooth finish bristol the most as well as cardstock. I like paper with a very fine weave and so I don't use sketchbooks or watercolor paper often.
Pencils: Papermate Mirado black warriors (can be bought at walmart)
Bic mechanical pencils
Charcoals: Generals (I like them for how hard the lead is and they are thin)
India Ink: The kind you buy at walmart. Cheap and the best
Paint: Winsor & Newton Galleria
Paper: Strathmore for bristol and Canson for sketch paper. Cardstock too. Wait till a craft store ahs a sale on colored cardstock and buy it out
