Brush and ink is also good for me. I was an illustrator. It is a pain since you can't erase anything but the simple brush stokes make it worth the effort. The stark contrasts between light and dark attracts me, no matter the medium.

I love figure drawing and portraiture as well. I have a good eye and can visualize a lot so I save time by problem solving as far as composition goes. I learned that I had this skill in art school when my friends were spending a lot of time on projects that I wasn't then I figured put why.
