My favorite illustration tools:
A simple mechanical pencil. If I am drawing for a long time, a fatter barrel and squishy grip. A smudge stick or two.
A uniball roller ball pen, micro or medium, depending.
A tray of relatively inexpensive dry watercolors with one or two fav brushes, which are tapered and somewhat small.
A gazillion water soluble colored pencils, so that I take ten minutes to find the color I am looking for, which has rolled under the keyboard.
substrates:
copier paper for most pencil drawings and ink drawings, though sometimes in a sketchbook.
water color paper or board or bristol paper or board.
MUCH less frequently, I'll use acrylics.
