Description
These are just a few snapshots of what I use to create my drawings (note:this is only a small portion of my art/design supplies - I included only the ones I use for what I post on deviantart). I mix both traditional and digital work (rarely do I stick to just one on a piece).

Digital (Top Left):
This is my Wacom Bamboo Create. I friggin' love this thing! I haven't had it for long, so I'm still figuring out the nuts and bolts. I'm not used to drawing on a pad and having to look up at a screen, so that is quite an adjustment. The tablet also came with Photoshop Elements (on my laptop screen in the bottom photo) and I really like it for photo editing. I also use Photoscape for editing and Gimp 2 for drawing.

Traditional (Top Middle):
I like doing all sorts of traditional media (metals, painting, design) but drawing is my favorite. For my drawings, I use a standard, medium weight drawing paper (with a bit of tooth to it - I like the texture) and my mechanical drafting pencils (love the precision you get with a mechanical pencil). Then, I ink in my linework. I've used a ton of different brands and types for pens, but I've been currently using Prismacolor Premier Illustustration Markers. They have a nice ink flow to them (I also like drafting pens - talk about getting perfect lines!). Then I color. Let me tell you...if you like drawing with colored pencils and have not tried Prismacolor pencils, you are missing out! I swear by these things!!

(Top Right):
This is just the finished product of a drawing. The edited and uploaded version is here: [link]

What I use (Bottom):
This shows the mixture of digital and traditional media that I use, as well as other art supplies I include in some pieces.

If you have any questions about specific supplies I use, please ask away in the comments. Hope you enjoyed this! Creating art is just about the best thing...in my opinion
