Just read some other replies. I assumed Bear meant graph paper on a pad....little squares. If she means something else, then no, I don't use it.
I started this thread with only the thought of 1/4 or 1/8 inch gridded paper on "regular sized" (which I think varies from country to country) paper.
As this thread has progressed, I think I would like it to mean anything printed with a regular pattern (triangles, squares, hexagons, etc.) that we still use to design with that requires a pencil (or pen).
There are some great "graph papers" available from several sites.
