When you create arts?

Like do you have a tablet? Ever use a mouse?

What program do you use?

If you don't do computer art, what traditional mediums do you use? =0

Got any recommendations of programs?

Sui has a Wacom Inutros3 A4 tablet, and Opencanvas 4.5 but with the 4.0 brushes implanted in it XD

I used to use paint shop pro, but bought opencanvas, ive heard a lot about SAI though and its affordable just like OC and not like Photoshop xD

When i do traditional art i use a Biro [Ballpoint Pen] and i shade with it also, i recently got some copic markers as well but i use my skin tone set as they melt together very well <3

    Photoshop 7.0 and a mouse, neither of which I'd reccomend to anyone.

    I want to try SAI or open canvas, but too lazy to find them ;n;
    Don't think I've drawn by pencil in quite some time, either! {forshame}

Rice: I don't know how you can use Illustrator. I spent years with it and I never want to look at it again. X___x.

I use Photoshop CS2 and Painter IX coupled with a Wacom tablet.

When I'm doing stylized pencil lines, I use generic cheap-a** mechanical pencils. I also have some really cheap watercolor paints, but they work, so I can't complain.

I have a wonderful set of prisma markers and colored pencils, which I love to death. Although I've heard that copic markers are better than prisma. I'm curious: are copics worth their price tag?

I also dabble with acrylic, oil, unconventional media for 3-d pieces, (dragon head out of purely plastic utensils/cups), charcoal, and gouache.

I use Photoshop CS3 and a Wacom Silver Graphire tablet for digital paintings, and mainly canvases and oils for my traditional work. But I have tried out plenty of other traditional media in the past, ceramics, acrylics, silver and gems, spray paints, etc... smile

Digital art: I use a mouse and Photoshop 7

though I do the sketches and lineart by hand.

Traditional: I sketch with mechanical pencil or my sketching pencils

(usually 2H or HB)

and ink with the Faber Castelle inking pens I have.

Coloring ranges from colored pencils to watercolor and

(when I can get ahold of them)

Copic markers.

I sketch and ink traditionally (though a Pilot is not the best thing to ink, i know x____D ;; ), then i scan the pic and CG it in Photoshop 7 with a Wacom Volito 2 i got 3 years ago.
Right now i'm starting to use SAI for digital inking, i like it a lot, but still need more practise xD

Haha, part of me always wants to go back and try to find a way to make it "work" for me. Since Illustrator was my first CG program and I spent so much time with it, I still have some what of an attachment to it...

Your style works really well with illustrator. I've also seen some other amazing artists who can make illustrator work for them. Limkis on deviantart (one of her pieces -> Here) does some mind-blowing work. I don't know you guys do it. XD

my anime drawings are always made with photoshop, CS4 at the moment, and a wacom bamboo tablet. my graphic works depends on what the assignment is, target, etcetera. I mostly draw with ballpoints then, or use crayons, or work in illustrator.
