i love to use pens/pencils, ..REAL things xd
i hate to draw, or work with the computer.. like photoshop, or something else. gonk
 
     
 
Corel Painter, Photoshop, Wacom, graphite, acrylics, oil pastels, metal, colored pencil, (recently) charcoal, and conte. I haven't found one I hated yet. I used to dislike charcoal, but after a few weeks of being forced to use it, I've learned to appreciate it.

*. Favorites: Photoshop CS2, mechanical pencil, colored pencil, (sometimes watercolor)

Haaaaaaaaates: Acrylic paints, drawing pencils (they confuse me and I hate the feeling of wooden pencils in my hand. >x>;; ) charcoal, markers, oil pastels, pens... just about anything permanent or hard to control. x:

I'm using all material I can get. The only media I didn't use till now is oil. The only "art material" I don't really like is cg xD I don't like it when I can't "touch" the picture itself. My favourite would be ink and watercolor smile
 
     




 
i love using charcle and paint and scetching and sculpting but i hate stained glass
     


thanks!!
I like prismsas, and normal pencils, I use sculpy when I'm sculpting. I hate, hate, ha-te (that absolutley must be destroyed) chalk pastels. Details are so hard to achieve with them.

Freelance fine artist, graphic designer, copywriter, and illustrator.
i like pencils and making darker outlines with pens, ballpoints since they dont jam when you use them, or just old type dipping inkwell pins. I get along fine with paints, oils, conte' and colored pecils.

though i hate usuing charcol and it hates me. Im still learning to use photoshop and gimp.

everyone has their good and bad.
 
     
you can try and make me feel dumb, for things I say, and do but you'll only get mad, because ill laugh at you. ^_~*
 
I love simple pencils. I always had troubles with colors. I think I may have trouble in seeing them right (after several discussions where about 3 people told me something was blue and I sayed it was indigo, ore red-orange problems) But I started using waterpaint.... and I won't give up until I learn how to make a solid piece with it, that is not from a fruit! Even if it kills me burning_eyes !

Like: Pencil, digital.
Hate: Traditional paints and inks.

I like to be able to erase. If I can't erase, we're gonna have problems. I also hate getting messy. Those two things pretty much rule out 90% of traditional media. xD 'Cept good old pencil.
     
I LOVE to use Ink pens and Traditional pencil crayons. I guess it's the finished product and the texture of the work that I really enjoy. biggrin I also think I have a nice time controlling the way they work too.

The type of media I don't like using is charcoal. My friends and teachers say I know how to use it well, but I really dislike charcoal texture and how sloppy it can get. I try to move out of my "comfort zone" and work on it from time to time (cause that's how artists can improve their skills).
 
     
 
i generally use cheap ink and copics. i'm not very good with the copics, but i like how they feel when i use them and how they look. heart

i used to use my tablet and used a program called open canvas 1.1, it was amazing! now i got a new computer and i can't find the program anywhere. and i hate photoshop because it's too confusing. neutral

so now my tablet is like sitting and rotting on my desk. D:
     
Nikon D60 for photography and borrowed Canon TI for film stuff.
For finished 'studio' pieces I usually use acrylic but plan in pencil and coloured pencils. Sometimes I dabble in watercolours or charchol.
I hate pastels though. Hate hate hate hate.
