I love drawing. I draw everyday. And I use a lot of mediums when it comes to drawing and coloring. But my favorites are usually an art sketch mechanical pencil and a sharpie pen to draw and ink with (because I mostly draw comics) and to color, I like using water color or on the computer, SAI PainterTool. So, is there anything you like to particularly draw with that just help you to draw? Or does it not really matter?

I prefer the wooden graphite pencils, but I also ink with a Sharpie when I want to scan the picture and put it on the computer (for CG coloring purposes). As far as painting, I use mixed media, acrylic and watercolor. I've dabbled with oil colors, but I haven't gotten very serious about learning to use them, yet. That's cool that you draw comics, I'm just now starting to explore that area of art. :)

Graphite pencils are fun too. But I am also trying to work on charcoal pencils XD Some messy stuff. Oh, you do CG coloring? How cool! What kind of things do you draw?

I love to use a fine point marker (Prismacolor and PITT Artist Pens are my favorites) for drawing detail, I have collected a few now from various sales and use whichever size works best for what I am doing (I tend to work small, probably too small! LOL). Most of my art I pencil in roughly first and I use those plastic kids pencils where you pull the tip out of the end and push it down on the top of the pencil to get a fresh end... just because they are fun and I loved them as a kid. For coloring I find watercolor is the easiest but of course it doesn't work on all paper...

I like to draw with a 6B pencil, depending on the strenght I use, it gives me soft lines as well as hard ones. I use a mechanical pencil only if I have to draw a preliminar scketch, otherwise, I prefer to use a hard pencil. I have tried to draw on the computer, but I am a complete cero in this

I like to draw with pencil roughly usually and then trace it with black marker then I will use acrylic paint for coloring. I am particularly into anime drawing but later I got into charcoal pencil drawing with live people as subjects.but I don't know what happened I just stopped somewhere and I never came back to that hobby.
