The materials I use varies from traditional media to digital.  I use lead holders and mechanical pencils 2h-b.
Faber Castell tech pens which is made like rapidographs and micron pens. Sometimes croquils. 
I have a 23 inch touchscreen computer that I use like a Wacom. I also have a large screen monitor
that I use to preview my scans on my mac a running full  suite of cs5. For scanning I have a brother
MFC-6490CW all in one scanner with a 11x17 image area.
