digital art (what kind of digital? painting, pixel, etc) oil paints, watercolors, colored pencils?

just curious heheh

personally i don't have one, because i don't like to focus on one type of medium. i like to switch around because using the same one gets dull after a while.

i'm really fond of just pencil and paper though xD

My favorite would actually be clay for sculpting (because chiseling a rock is not for me :p).
Although I do experiment with digital art once in a while.

My favorite kinds are; pixel art, acrylic paint, oil pastels and the good old pencil.

In addition, I make custom plushies.

I really like to work with pastels! I love the way you can smudge them and blend them.
Watercolors are great too.

As long as it's traditional I like it. Now if you meant actually using them.. I don't know. I haven't made art in so long and when I did it was terrible so... >.>;

Do you like my avatar? A

would be wonderful.

I love digital painting, watercolors and gouache, but I need more practice with watercolors, I'm really picky about the colors I use, so I like digital better because I can have more control over them. When I'm using traditional media I like to use only primary colors and mix them.

I really like colored ballpoint pens for sketching too xD

Digital painting and gouache with inked outlines are may favourite to work with (since they're the most common ones I use). Although, lately I've been getting into sculpting with Sculpey and colouring with pencil crayons, they're kind of relaxing. lol

Charcoal is ridiculously easy for me. I like how fast I can work with it and how messy it is.

Digital is a beech to work with, but it's the most entertaining and provides the most color options.

Graphite, anyone? 8D

I think the only traditional medium I'm not absolute crap with is graphite/pencils haha. I love watercolours but I'm completely useless with them. I seem to interpret values well enough, but not colour, if that makes sense. I do prefer digital most of the time because I don't have a ctrl+z in real life :|

Digital painting and wire/beads for sculpting. Twisting wire is super fun if painful, such a pity I can't wrap stones for pendants to save life XD

I personally love watercolours, inks, and copic markers. Pencils are really useful for obvious reasons too. I do a lot of fashion illustration and sometimes collaging sneaks into my work as well.

I like all sorts of mediums, but lately I've been favoring digital art because I don't have to worry about the cost of things.

Digital drawing, but I'd love to get better at traditional because I do enjoy colored pencils. And I want to try Copic's someday too.
