What are shower walls made out of?
Your question is a little vague. The walls will be built the same as the other walls in the structure, but will usually be finished with a concrete wallboard such as Durock.

What do you use for exterior drywall?
The terms Exterior and drywall are not compatible. Drywall is used on the inside of the wall and is protected by a suitable weatherproof surface on the exterior of the wall framing such as lapboards, stucco, exterior sheathing etc. All of these have a moisture barrier behind them to prevent water/moist air from contacting the drywall. Drywall will disintigrate and allow mold/mildew and fungus to grow when moist. Eventually it will fail completely. So-called "green board" drywall is used in bathrooms and areas subjected to moisture but only outside the bath or shower area. It is not suitable for anything other than a backing material if used in the wet area of a bathroom. It can reside behind cement board or other materials with waterproof qualities. Never adhere tiles directly to green board unless it is outside the wet area of the bath/shower.
