What do you create your artwork with?

[Moonlight 7,286]

If I'm missing one...let me know. 

 

I like using pencil, permanent marker, markers, colored pencils, pens, and crayons, mostly.

 

What about you all?

Traditional Art: Pencil. Rubber.

 

Digital Art: Photoshop, GIMP, Paint.net, Inkscape

I prefer my Photoshop over everything else.

Im definitely a traditional artist. A lot of the time I use pencils, pens, colored pencils, etc. Though I am mostly traditional Id love to go digital. I just cant seem to find a descent art pad to do it on. lol

[XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX 777]

When it comes to drawing on paper, nothing beats a good 'ol 4H pencil. I've tried charcoal for ponies but it just seems so out of place to me. I have experimented with Ink Wash and good 'ol dipping pens but I feel like I have absolutely no control sometimes 

 

For digital goods I use a Wacom tablet in conjunction with SAI usually. I've been feeling the waters for openCanvas, Flash and a little bit of Photoshoop. I'm really attracted to OC primarily for the fact that it records my every stroke and allows me to analyze how I draw my goodies. I mean sure, I could record my desktop but past experiences gave me huge file sizes. OC can provide the same thing while providing replays ridiculously smaller in file size (500MB VS. 1MB - Same Content, can even scroll in/out and view tool settings.)

I have used pretty much anything from a paint brush to paint tool sai. When doing traditional I use anything, pencil, pen. Colouring pencils and etc. I like using pen, pencil and colouring pencils. When it comes to digital, it's paint tool sai and a Wacom bamboo tablet. I can use photoshop and I often do if I want to add effects or just a text.

 

Traditional art is always the most fun to make.

[~StatesTheOblivious~ 1,795]

Pencils, colored pencils and crayons because... these are the only things I can use with some sort of "talent" when it comes to visual artworks.

 

But I ran out of stuff recently and I actually want to spare my money now, so I do some quick sketches sometimes with my ballpen or regular pencil. And most of them suck...

[--Eve-- 351]

I create almost all my artwork with either Blender, or Paint.net. I'm a new modeller but am starting to get much better. My current avatar is actually my model in Kerbal Space Program.

[Zygen 6,066]

Well the only art i do is pony art, but when I do that its on GIMP with my mouse and thats it basically. 

 

Not that I do amazing with it, but its what I have and its what is best for me I think, its not that bad actually, you get use to it after a little bit.

[Retro*Derpy 3,185]

I stick with GIMP since it is both easy and erasing doesn't leave a mark Though from time to time I will draw 3D figures via pencil just for kicks.

[DND 2,355]

Ooooh! An art topic! 

 

I use Photoshop CS6, Painttool Sai, Inkscape very rarely, and my school pencils and journals since I always use up my sketch-pads too quickly. Painttool Sai and Photoshop are just about the best out of experience if you seriously want to get into digital art. <3

[Kyoshi Frost Wolf 41,553]

Photoshop CS5....That is it really. I don't really consider what I make to be 'artwork' though...I cannot do much else artistically so every other option is out of the question..

[Thuja 3,659]

Pens, pencils, crayons, highlighters, paint, chalk, coloured-pencils, markers, permanent markers and dry erase markers.  I do a lot of scribbling and I don't have any software, digital art isn't my strong point...  Would be nice if I had an art tablet, but I probably wouldn't know what to do with it  ...  

[Ihei 713]

I usually only use pencils, rubber, colored pencils, and marker. I'm going to try GIMP when I learn how. I hope it would be soon. :3 Or any other program.

[Rainboom Dash 1,056]

I like using pencils, pens, coloured pencils and GIMP to create my artwork. I honestly prefer drawing traditionally at the moment as I don't have a tablet and drawing using my mouse always comes out bad, with pencils I can steady myself easier.

[Lost 1,410]

I said pencil for obvious reasons but also "Art Tablet" because while i don't have a typical Art Tablet like a Bamboo, i do have an iPad which i own for the sole reason of drawing so in a way it is an Art Tablet but in another way it isn't 

[MelancholicMemory 2,025]

I do a little of everything. I often draw in pencil and then go over it with basically anything; colored pencil, pen, marker, etc. I'm best with pen and colored pencil though. I also sometimes scan it onto the computer and finish it in art programs. I also often draw directly into such a program using my Kindle Fire HD. It tends to crash though, deleting my whole picture, which often causes me to ragequit though.

[Bucky McGillyCuddy 956]

I've been wanting to buy a Wacom Intuos tablet for ages under the impression that it'll improve my art skills but I don't think I'd use it enough to validate the $500+ cost.

[DarligPegasi 315]

Well now I mainly just draw stuff by hand with a pencil, then I go over it with a fine point sharpie, erase the pencil marks, scan it onto the computer and color it in Photoshop.

 

I used to color things with coloring pencils but then when I scanned them onto the computer they looked dull and ugly. And I absolutely loathe crayons. They're so...Waxy and ew,

[Sickman 205]

Absolutely anything and everything I can get my hands on.
Pencils, graphics tablets, acrylics, clay, charcoal, food, blood...
I like to experiment with different things and see what happens.

[ErBoi 501]

Typically, my Cintiq 12WX, with GIMP, Inkscape and Toon Boom Studio 6.

I don't even remember the last time I drew something on paper.  I do have an almost empty sketchbook though, and I'm sure sooner or later I'll get the urge to feel the grind of graphite again.

[Envy 6,169]

I can't draw very well. Apparently I was better as a kid, but now everything I want to draw I just can't. It makes me feel inadequate - which is a feeling that is ever present for me, so I don't need it to be more present.

 

Most of my "artwork" comes through photography and signature banners. Although I haven't made a signature banner in months.

[xblackrosesx 81]

I use Pencils, Paper, Pens, Colored Pencils, Permanent Markers & Paint on the computer.. :3 

Sometimes I use Markers & Crayons but not alot. 

[Twilie 184]

If I'm missing one...let me know. 

 

 

 

 

 

I use pieces of glass to make my artwork. Although its not very common among pony artwork and such, it still looks pretty cool

[LMW-YBC 102]

Well, I don't know if I actually make artwork or not (more or less just "mess around" with my ideas), but I usually use programs on the computer for this. I don't have a graphics tablet, although I do plan on getting one, so I have to use my mouse to do all the work.

 

I started off with GIMP, which is good for a free program, but personally it had an off-putting, bland UI and didn't offer that many tools that I would find useful; the ones that were didn't work very well. So I was quick on finding a new program like it, and I came across Pixelmator on the Mac App Store. People were saying that it was a very good program, most comparing it to Photoshop, and I can quite frankly agree with that. It is essentially Photoshop but way cheaper (£10.49). Been using it since.

 

I also use it along with some vector-producing programs, my favourite one being iDraw.

[Nuclear Neurotic 56]

I use a Wacom Bamboo Fun Pen and Touch tablet with Paint Tool SAI, Photoshop Elements, and sometimes Corel Painters Essentials
