[QUOTE="grodog, post: 5314350, member: 1613"] I generally draw my dungeon level maps in blue ink (via my Parker rollerball pen), then color the fill in with black sharpies. I draw maps on the smaller grid sizes (8 and 10 squares per inch) in pencil, and sometimes other levels too, but in general I prefer working in pen. I scan these "raw" maps, so to speak, and then finish them after the rough outline is mostly final. I sometimes scan the maps in progress too, but scanning's just for posting and sharing them rather than any post-drawing manipulation (at least so far). I do, however, make photocopies of the not-quite-finished maps, and then use those to finalize the map contents and as I build out the encounters key. The final map shows an original map, as well as one of the more-finished maps as a scanned photocopy with my various notes and jottings on it that evolve into a key after one or two permutations.
