I use pencils, and colored pencils. And also rulers to make straight lines.

I wish I had other art options, but I ain't got the money. Like Photoshop, it's too freakin' expensive. Oil Paint, I'm a mess at. I don't use markers very much. etc

So, I'd just stick to the Colored Pencils.

Mechanical Pencils and Printer Paper for traditional stuff (Which I haven't done in ages now)
And my Wacom Bamboo Tablet. With Corel Painter 11 / Easy Paint Tool SAI / Photoshop CS3 for programs.

Wacom Intuos3 A5 wide.
Photoshop CS4 for anime shading/ multiple layers work/ vector.
Open Canvas 4.0 for sketching/ painting.
Comic Studio EX for Comic/ screentone.

Quickman · **Reply #3 on:** March 14, 2010, 08:56:40 AM

Depends. For digital, it's:

Wacom Graphire small
Photoshop CS3 for everything.

For traditional:

Non-photo blue pencils for sketching
.05 mechanical pencil for linework and shading
Pigma pens in varying sizes
Grey tonal pens
White pens for highlights
Various paper (either sketchbook, bristol board, Comic ProBoards)
Prismacolor pencils
Colourless blenders
Markers
Acrylic paints
Various straight edges for, well, straight lines (rulers, T-square, triangles)
Flexible curve for curved lines

Mostly now, though, I colour my stuff in Photoshop, regardless if it was scanned or not.

Oh yes, and I utilize my library of art books for when I need references, poses, anatomy, proportion, and techniques.

Zebra M-301 Mechanical Pencil with 0.5 lead (I REFUSE to use any other pencil.)

If I want to ink, Staedtler Pigment liner fine liners, from 0.1 - 0.7

This, but only because of the lack of proper knowledge on what wonderful resources are available to me.

And because I can't draw very well.

Hmm... I should have that too. But, I don't have much imagination.

Cpie · **Reply #12 on:** March 14, 2010, 07:31:26 PM

I meant crappy imagination. Not that useless

Computer paper, a mechanical pencil, along with their crappy erasers, whatever runny ink gel pen I have handy, a scanner and Adobe PhotoDeluxe circa 1999, and a mouse. And ooohapieceofcandykie. Screw you kids and your Photoshop and tablets and paint tools and fancy brushes. Work with the antiques like me!

Get your tablet off eBay for cheap like I did. =P

Rad Lionheart · **Reply #24 on:** March 15, 2010, 04:51:55 AM

Yeah, I bought my Bamboo on eBay, through the NCIX outlet.
$70 USD.

My Bamboo model is the old one, I'm sure it's a little cheaper now.
