What do you use for your ink drawings? I started out using a technical pen (Staedtler), and now switched to the micron pens. I was thinking of trying out one of those marker drawing pens, but read some reviews that the nib is too flimsy. I suppose that would depend on the technique used, I mostly do stippling so the microns are probably more suitable but the markers might be good for sketches. For paper I have been using watercolor paper by Strathmore.
 
I bought a 4 pack of edding precision fine liners that I am very happy with. A little cheaper and in 0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7. I use 220msg card.
 
I use Winsor & Newton's fineliners, in both black and sepia. There's something about the tapered points that I like on those.

I just use them in a Strathmore softbound sketchbook. Whatever paper is in that one feels a bit thin. But I haven't had the pens bleed through the paper, so it works just fine.
