Art tools, what do you use?

[dragontamer272]

I use pencils, and colored pencils. And also rulers to make straight lines.

I wish I had other art options, but I ain't got the money. Like Photoshop, it's too freakin' expensive. Oil Paint, I'm a mess at. I don't use markers very much. etc

So, I'd just stick to the Colored Pencils.

[Rad Lionheart]

Mechanical Pencils and Printer Paper for traditional stuff (Which I haven't done in ages now)
And my Wacom Bamboo Tablet. With Corel Painter 11 / Easy Paint Tool SAI / Photoshop CS3 for programs.

[Emiri Landeel]

Wacom Intuos3 A5 wide.
Photoshop CS4 for anime shading/ multiple layers work/ vector.
Open Canvas 4.0 for sketching/ painting.
Comic Studio EX for Comic/ screentone.

[Quickman]

Depends.  For digital, it's:

Wacom Graphire small
Photoshop CS3 for everything.

For traditional:

Non-photo blue pencils for sketching
.05 mechanical pencil for linework and shading
Pigma pens in varying sizes
Grey tonal pens
White pens for highlights
Various paper (either sketchbook, bristol board, Comic ProBoards)
Prismacolor pencils
Colourless blenders
Markers
Acrylic paints
Various straight edges for, well, straight lines (rulers, T-square, triangles)
Flexible curve for curved lines

Mostly now, though, I colour my stuff in Photoshop, regardless if it was scanned or not.

Oh yes, and I utilize my library of art books for when I need references, poses, anatomy, proportion, and techniques.

[Dantonumanoa Ongdolota Amycronicon]

A wooden pencil.
A piece of paper.
My right hand and my brain.

This, but only because of the lack of proper knowledge on what wonderful resources are available to me.

And because I can't draw very well.

Get your tablet off eBay for cheap like I did. =P

[Rad Lionheart]

Yeah, I bought my Bamboo on eBay, through the NCIX outlet.
$70 USD.

My Bamboo model is the old one, I'm sure it's a little cheaper now.
