I was inspired by Allegory 
to make this post, based on his: https://www.furaffinity.net/view/62159038/
This is what I use for most of my physical drawings. Most of my digital drawings are made with a Wacom Intuos tablet and Clip Studio Pro.
Aside from one-off paper pads and paper scraps for large drawings, I draw all the time in A5 size sketchbooks from Muji. It is atop a small cutting mat from a dollar store, which is very handy to whip out on my desk for smaller crafting and cutting. And of course, it is above an even larger cutting mat for big projects. The Olfa Cutter 300 is probably the oldest art tool that I still have, which I bought new in 2006 or so. Sometimes I use a generic xacto knife for cutting, but I like this cutter even for precise crafting.
At top right are some Copic markers. I have the "warm gray" series from W0 to W6, and some other assorted colors. You can fill a large space very smoothly. I use them all the time; it is the closest thing in the physical world that compares to a bucket fill from a digital drawing program (aside from a real bucket of paint, but I haven't tried that yet.)
I enjoy Staedtler fiber tip pens for occasional color doodling.
I use Sharpie fiber tip pens for most of my linework. I used to employ Micron pens, but they're a bit expensive for what I do- They're great, but, I don't need such fine control of line width most of the time. I used to love using Paper Mate Flair pens, but they are not archival, and I want my drawings to stick around for myself and my friends. Similarly, I have some Marvy LePen drawings from 15 years ago that are completely faded away. Avoid them.
Last year, I got a Uni "Kuru Toga" mechanical pencil; it rotates the lead slightly every time you lift it from the page. It keeps a nice and uniform line.
I keep a large handful of BIC mechanical pencils on hand when I force friends to participate in drawing games with me. They're good and cheap, and having a common tool in a large group drawing is aesthetically pleasing.
Finally, I have a BIC Wite-Out correction tape. It's handy for corrections on the go.
Most of my sketchbook drawings stay in the sketchbook; it's a space to doodle out in the world, develop ideas, and to trade souvenir drawings with friends. Very rarely do I make a "big" singular drawing on paper, but with increased participation in convention art shows, that is changing.

oooooh I will have to look into those Copic markers. my own method was just diluting sumi ink in different concentrations and brushing it on, which is messy and requires more effort to prepare and clean up, so I haven't used it much since college.
my weapon of choice for lineart is a Uniball Vision Micro (with a Fine for panel borders, a PaperMate Flair for thick lines, and a Pilot G2 0.38 for fine details). I had to order them online because none of my local stores, including Office Supply, had that exact size!
