Most of my own work are pencil on paper. Then I either ink it by hand, or
scan them and clean them on the computer. I use Photoshop in combination
with a graphic tablet (tip to any budding fan-artist woon a computer,
get yourself a tablet with a stylus, it will change the way you use the
computer :-). Once the drawing is clean, I do the coloring by filling or
'painting' with the software. I try not to overuse the software
capabilities (like filters or deformation tools) unless really needed,
because IMO, it will show too blatantly ;).

Other than that, the rollerball point pen is one of my favorite tools :)) I
love hte control of the pressure you get from these. For painting, I use
either acrylic paint (cheap and fast drying, clean, no vapors), or
oilsticks (solid oil paint in 'wax crayon' format- great fun!). I even used
oil paint, watercolor or wood pencils, but not on a regular basis.

Acrylic paint on acetate - or even real celluloid, or 'cels' - can give
interesting results too, given you have lots of patience :)
