Our buddy Steve Lieber, artist extraodinaire on the mini series WHITEOUT from Oni Press was kind enough to share the following suggestions for art supplies with us.

Steve's list:

• 14"x17" pads of Srathmore 2-ply Bristol paper,
  both rough and smooth finish.

• Any brand of tracing paper that's sold at 11"by 17"

• Higgins Black Magic ink.

• Faber "color-ease" non-repro blue pencils.

• Berol turquoise pencils from 5h through 2b
  (H= hard, B= soft)

• Keaded erasers

• Magic rub erasers

• Koh-i-noor rapidograph technical pens.
  For lettering, I recommend the
  • #2 (.60mm) for regular letters
  • #4(1.2mm)(1.2mm) for boldface.

• Pigma Micron permanent ink markers.
  ( black ink only.)

• Ames lettering guide

• Winsor-Newton series 7 sable brushes,
  The best sizes are probably the #2 and #4

• Hunt 102 crowquill pens.
• 18' metal ruler
• 24" metal t-square
• plastic drafting triangle

Well- there's a start. I hope it's of use to some of you.
