Pickett Circle Master Inking Template No. 12041, which is handy for nice, clean circles.
Faber-Castell E-Motion 1.4mm mechanical pencil. I love the soft B lead, as it lets me get shades down on paper quickly, yet lets me draw pretty fine lines off the edge of the lead.
Kneadable erasers are great, because they can be formed into any shape you like, and work well as stress relievers.
Y&C Grip 350 0.7mm mechanical pencil is wonderful for tight lines, yet is thick enough to hold up to quick sketching. I especially like that the tip restracts into the barrel for safe transport in gear bags and pockets.
My Artec1031 6" clear acrylic triangle is small enough to carry anywhere, helps me make crisp lines. The clear plastic is nice for seeing through to my sketches.
My Miquelrius A5 squared notebook is flexible enough to fold either cover over for sketching or scanning, and the squared pages make for handy guides when drawing lines and right angles used in web and print design.
My HiG A4 squared notebook from Germany is a nice size for larger sketches — generally used for website designs, print design work and storyboards.
Stumbled onto your site through Moleskinerie and now I am stuck here/there. I use my Milquerius for everything despite having gotten into Moleskines first. This cahier seems to have garnered most of the interest. hehe
I really enjoy your drawings; you have great vision and I am looking forward to seeing more of your work.
klee25 - I got that pencil years ago so I don't know where you might find one now, but my first suggestion would be jetpens.com as they have a great selection. They may even be able to special order some if they still exist.

Hi. I was wonder where you got the Y&C Grip 350 mechanical pencil. A link to a website would be absolutely wonderful! Thank you!
