    I like drawing pencils, exspecially the real thick chalky type ones. Also, oil pastels and acrylic paint.

    My favorite to work with would have to be Prisma Colors. Here is a piece I did for my Ap art studio class. It is larger than it looks, it is about 2x2 ft. Just a random one I picked out of the bunch.

    i love photography, but its only art if you do it right...kinda like how shopping lists can never be considered great works of literature

    whatever i try i always end up going back to pencil and paper. sometimes the basics is what works best. it feels nice going back to your roots after finishing a huge painting. my neck hurt for days after that venture... :)

    My favorite things to use are oil and soft pastels, sometimes in combination with guache paint and arcylic & drawing onto pretty big masonite boards (compressed cardboard, it's a really thin kind of paneling that is fuzzy on one side, smooth on the other). Cheers,

    I like using photography. I like capturing the emotion of the subject. I have other mediums that I like. Paper and pencil is one. I have done etching and quite like that. I have really bad handwritting however I love doing calligraphy. I would like to try doing stuff with wood.

    Pencil and paper was my first medium (been drawing since... I dunno, the age of four), and it's still my favorite, either graphite or charcoal. I'm also getting into painting, which I enjoy, but drawing still is the most fun and the one that comes most naturally to me.

    Oil paints was always my fav before. But this past semester I had a computer illustration class and though it was difficult for me at first, I ended up LOVING the class and I adore digital work now. Haven't done much with it, but I've had kind of a busy summer since I've been out....can't wait to dig into it again though. Photoshop and Corel Painter are friggin awesome.

    I love to work with oil pastels.. When I paint, I always choose acrylic. I think I am, in a "weird way", afraid to deviate to a different paint medium. I will challenge myself one day.. It's all about expression, and I think the deep sense of the acrylics really portray my stories.Photography is something i really want to get back into. That was wonderful for me.

    I prefer acrylic paint on canvas, or whatever is lying around. I also enjoy photography and digital art. For its simplicity while traveling, I like pencil and paper.
