I've used a lot of things. So, I dislike using oil paints, even though I got a bunch for Christmas. I doesn't care much for colored pencils.
But, I love my brushable makers and perisma color markers. I like pen and ink, ... errr oil pastels, charcoal, and just a lovely mechanical pencil.

=_= ...I didn't even know what a medium was until I read this post. I fail as an artist. j/k. I use the standard mechanical pencil and paper, though I'm trying to get into inking some of my drawings as well. For lead my favorite size is .5. It's easier to work with and doesn't smear as much on some paper.

Man... it's a hard decision between traditional photography and computer graphics (think photoshop in this case). Photography because it's so easy to go, take a picture (or a ton), and go and print them as you want. I really like CG since it makes it easy to outline, color, and then make something look really nice. biggrin

My favorite is and old fashioned pencil, notebook and ink pen.

I don't like using crayons, watercolor, or a mouse (only for spriting)

I like to use an array of different mediums, that is if I have them sweatdrop I really love using pencils and charcol. If I don't feel like using thoughs, I usually go for the oil pastels and paints. I hate, HATE, water colors! I had this really wicked drawing I did for the Twilight series and I decided to use water colors and it completely ruined it! scream Heh...sorry 'bout that. I'm good now. sweatdrop redface

Common crappy cheap ballpoint pens with colored pencil. 3nodding

Least favorite... I don't know. I like all forms of art media. Perhaps markers because I find them very difficult to work with.

i tried to get into digital, but it just didn't work. i'm a hardcore traditional girl. i love my pencils and paper, and for color i usually resort to copic markers and the occasional watercolor 3nodding usually i just like to try different things and if they work, they work.

I prefer printer paper, or paper with a rougher surface. I hate plasticy paper....that's the worst cause you can't erase on it, and it's all....Meh. A standard pencil is all I need to draw. ANd for shading, charcoal arre the most fun, because you don't need to deal with different density, you just apply presser. And every artist need a good eraser! Something that won't smudge, and gets al of the mark! XP

i love using pencil, ink, watercolors, and a few alcohol based products. (cause they tend to blend very well and they give you interesting textures when you manipulate them ) o A o

i don't like using computer graphics but i tend to use it a lot. xD ( if you could call that an art medium, that is )

SAI is ok.

I like pencils and pens but my absolute favorite would have to be chalk pastels! heart I love em'! ^.^ Even though whenever I use them I get chalk everywhere (and I mean, EVERYWHERE.) I still love the way there's so many colors and you can just blend them with your fingers and it's really quick and easy if messy but not nearly as messy as paints. You can also use water soluble chalk and water to get a paint like texture! I particularly like drawing on colored or toned paper, it makes you chose your colors more carefully and give the entire piece a sort of ground color tone without having to do anything.
As for paints they are fun too. I mostly prefer acrylics over watercolor. I like painting's they're hard but totally worth all the time and trouble. mrgreen
