Pens (0.25 Micron Pigma), pencil (any type), watercolors, Photoshop 6/CS/CS2, and a tablet. <3

In class doodles are usually done with whatever I can get my hands on.

And I usually draw on computer paper, in my sketchbook, or on this paper I got from Target... called "drawing paper". o__O; It's different from computer paper, though, and also the size of huge (18x12 inches).

I've seen alot of people say they use Micron Pigma, I need to check into them sometime. *puts on to-do list*
watercolor - Prang, basic set, until I recently got some official-type watercolors from my dad that he used to use, but haven't really and actually them myself, but plan to soon. ninja
colored pencil - Prismacolor heart
pens - School G (currently out of right now D,> ), ZIG and a brush pen that I forget the name of.
pencils - 6H, and I forget the company name. |D;
erasers - favorite would be those white "non-dust" ones they make, but pretty much anything I can get my hands on, except kneeded, those should only ever be used for mini-sculptures for the bored. ninja
markers - Prismacolor, but I'd reeaaally like to try Copics sometime...
paper - drawing/sketch book paper, my main concern is getting some that's already small enough to fit in my scanner. >3<; (you wouldn't believe how hard it is to get 8x10 drawing paper) I'm pretty sure what I get is usually 50-60 lbs. cold-press? not sure... though I know that I don't like my current sketchbook, it doesn't take erasing too well. (and with me, well... yeah, I breath erasers. |D;; )
writing - computers, always. |D; (handwritting + drawer = don't mix x-x; )
music - |D; yush it's impossible for me to classify, but it's also a REALLY important componant to my inspiration. sweatdrop

I'm - AHH! I'm not me!! eek Oh, right... glitch.... sweatdrop *reboots heart*

Anyway, I'm very irregular when it comes to drawing utensils. I pretty much draw with whatever i can get my hands on. ^-^;; Micron pens are one of my few constants - i heart them oh-so-much. Squee.
Other than that i've been known to yoink my dad's writing pens, because i loooove the feeling of drawing with really nice roller-ball pens. I find it difficult to sketch with regular pencils - i mostly use mechanicals. If i'm doing a final piece in pencil, then i'll probably use sketching pencils, but none of that school-type, yellow, #2 stuff. Blegh. :XP Maybe if I'm desperate.
Oh yes, I also have a fierce loyalty to Prismacolor pencils. Nothing else for me, kthxbye.
And Sharpies. I'm addicted to sharpies. Although they bleed like hell.

I've been finding myself working more and more with just my tablet, though sweatdrop It's difficult for really fine detail, but for everything else it's just fab. whee Means I pretty much only do art a couple times a week, though.... .__.;

hai~ I've actually done... a few, mainly one's I thought were bad enough that I could afford to ruin since I'm really iffy about my marker skills. I'll do some asap though, I wanna get better at them since they are a nice (PORTABLE!) media aside from colored pencils that I like the look of. 3nodding

Ooh! Try using both together! I've seen some pretty neat pictures made with colored pencils and markers together. Thinking of doing it myself sometime soon. XF

I use for my experiments arts, intricate razor-pens : Micron .5 , Micron Brush, and another Micron... which I dont know the name of.
I sketch mainly with my Zebra pen {{which I've gotten so used to, and love it!}} And with my mechanical pencils- mainly .. Zebra Mech .05 pencils XD;
Colored pencils- Prisma/ Crayola XD 'nough said~
Watercolor- I STILL NEED TO START {{someone motivate me! XD}} D: D: D: probably the prang ones...
Erasers- Pink, white and squishy-gum erasers.
Tablet- Wacom Intuos3
Other- Face paint, gel pens, regular pens.


I use my tablet when I have time, otherwise I'm always dissecting doodling with my Zebra pens/pencils~ I also like vivisecting freehanding with the Prism Colors~
