    Great to see you experimenting! I think in the end we always will favor a limited amount of mediums :D This saturday I actually went to an art store and took a look at the markers.. but they were really too expensive to buy just to try them out :)
    you're welcome! Hugs for you :D

    Ya markers are never my thing unless its black. I've attempted acrylic as you can see from my work but i'm just not satisfied with it.... water colors i loooove for flowers thats about it. I guess i'm trying to step out of my comfort zone.. but i always fall back to pencils lol... i just post alot of color work i've been practicing with. I just love all of your guy's input

    for me definitely digital artwork and I also love pencil & colored pencils. Arcylic can be great too but I'm lazy and it's a lot more work -- plus i'd have the feeling that I would ruin expensive paper when I sketch on it / to draw.

    Markers are totally not my thing. Can't blend well. Hmm and watercolors is ok, but takes tons of time to bring depth into it and gradually let the colors pop out. I'd probably be careful not too use too much color but then I just have too keep on adding more "layers" of "thin coloring".

    Oh my gosh, me too. I'm afraid to get anywhere near my drawings with colored pencils, but if I leave them they look so bare...

    hmmm...I would say pencil and charcoal. I mean they are easy to get and are easy to clean up :D I just like to do value drawings :) I like how it's so easy to manipulate the medium by using it to create textures and shadings. I always have them with me ^^

    i didn't get to take art classes for fun. "waste of time" since i wasn't going into art for a career.

    I'm most comfortable with pencil and colored pencils. A few years ago, I started inking my drawings, and I like the look. Now I want to try digital art more. I also want to improve on using markers, which I don't normally use.


    Call it karma. Call it luck. Me, I just don't give a... BOUNCE!
