Haha. My lovely tablet-- I have no idea of the brand, because it doesn't say, and for traditional, I love using acrylic, watercolor, chalk pastel and pencil. Pencil is the best though.

Over the past few years I've been doing lineart in pencil and using the Open Canvas program to color the pictures. Using a tablet can be quite addicting. Although lately I've been more in the mood to dabble in traditional methods, i.e. watercolors and Prismacolor pencils.

I'm still trying to find my style, so I like to try different things to see what I like. I realized I like ball point pens for loose sketches, micron pens for lineart (I'm still practicing with dips), color pencils for coloring^^, and a tablet w/ photoshop for digital stuffs. I'd like to try using acrylics next (watercolor scares meh sweatdrop )

I love using pencil crayons for traditional work. I'm a sucker for details. XD
I also love using markers, but I'm still learning different ways to colour with them.
For digital work, I use Wacom tablet with SAI and Photoshop CS4, usually SAI. I'm still experimenting with Manga Studio.

I tend to get art block when I sketch digitally. I prefer to start my sketch traditionally first then scan them in if it's going to be a digital work. XD

I'm a traditional artist~ :3 I prefer pencils and pencil crayons. I use a Sharpie pen for inking. Sometimes I use ballpoints for random stuff... I like watercolors too, but I don't do it often enough to be really great at it.

I tried being digital years ago but I just don't have any patience to get good enough and I really hate digital inking. >>;;; I feel like I have more control over a pencil than a tablet pen--it doesn't feel right. I can't get used to it, I guess.

Digital. It's clean, easy and doesn't take up space in my room. 3nodding

I prefer either pencil, digital painting, and oil painting. Though I have this thing where I can pick up on all mediums easily.

... except coil pottery... I'm really bad at coil pottery. sweatdrop

Pencil, sketch pad or random piece of paper, Paint program and Gimp.
o.o
All because I draw at random moments and don't expect it to end up finished/go to paint... lol

Sometimes I just copy the image, usually so it won't be ruined, and color it in with color pencils.

i used to enjoy using my prisma markers and colored pencils, but after i got my tablet i havent gone back to them sweatdrop

also since i'm heavy handed on regular paper, i dont have to worry about leaving hard marks when i use my tablet (though i do wear down the nubs kinda quick...)

I'd say anything trad. and the tablet.

I do digital and traditional photography. The problem is that a lot of the good large and medium format film is no longer made, and of the brands that are made they are very expensive. I used to shoot standard 35 mm since it was very inexpensive to get. When shooting in color I tend to flip between my DSLR and using medium format Kodak Ektachrome. Digital is faster, and less expensive but a lot of the time it just seems like an easy way out.

I love watercolor paints. I can't get enough of them, even if my landscapes are really simple.

I'm looking into buying a better quality set myself.

I love the colors, and the thickness you can just by the ammount of water in it.
