    What do you use when drawing/coloring your pics? I'm just curious, since I am stuck with colored pencils and regular pencils...maybe a crayola marker or two....
     
    My drawing tools well I do have a few, If I color by hand I used prisma color pencils and watercolor pencils. Some of these made not be cheap to buy depends on the brand names . and most time I just sketch out a pic , scan it on the comp and color it on a program like Adobe Photoshop,Jasc PSP or other programs. and for drawing the pic I used Mars Lumograph Sketching pencils. I hope this helps ya
    Alot of Artists used diff things
     
    I use either different pencil shades (regular graphite) or charcoal to sketch. For coloring, it depends on the style. Pastel for a blended, smudgy look, colored pencils for a sharp sort of look, and markers for a cartoonish picture with solid colors. That's what I use anyway.
     
    I always just scurry around to find any pencil I can find...I don't care if it's number 1 or 2 or if it's a wierd brand...if it has lead and an eraser it's good enough for me

    *goes and draws stuff*
     
    I use tons of stuff!! BWAHHAAHA

    Well for my new style of drawing I sketch in pencil, Lumograph Mars or just your basic push the back run out of lead so often type of pencil. Then I ink using a Micon Ink Pen (Its the cheapest and best one I found yet). I color using Prisma Markers that match the color. I generally use them for clothes and base colors. I have the worst colors, not that the prisma markers are Darker then the label x.x .... Then I highlight and shadpow using colored pencils. I use Fantasia right now but I just won a bid on ebay for prisma colored pencils ^_^

    I also have a really thick pen.. Its good to work on making your hand do less sketchy and more single movements... I practice drawing hands and eyes and whatnot with it.

    Also who dosent love using Crayola Crayons. Not for professional looks but fun =3

    As computer programs I use Open Canvas by portal graphics, It gives a more painted look and looks super neat. I also use Flash MX by macromedia for a professional clean cut look. Lastly for coloring inks and whatnot I use my fave graphic program Paint Shop Pro 7, by jasc. PSP 7 is the easiest version to use but the only way to get it is auctions and illegal ways such as Kazaa or getting it from a friend.

    If your looking for some materials dont be affraid to mix materials. Just want dosent work to well is Ink and Crayons XD. But Marker and Colored Pencils rock! XD

    -Pichuu!
     
    Well, for coloring I typically use Copic and Prismacolor markers. I ink with G, round, school and spoon nibs (They're dipping pens used by professional mangaka.). For inking thicker lines, I use Copic's multiliners and brush nibs. When shading, I use screen tones for black and white. Umm... Also, design ink and white, opaque ink.

    For CGI I use PSP8 and Photoshop occasionally. n.n()
     
    wow....thanks for all the responses! I'm having a hard time getting a hold of good drawing tools, especially coloring tools, but I think I will have to take a trip to a craft store and see what they have...
     
    Paint is very limited, but it's the only computer drawing program I use.

    For the bulk of my artwork, I color it in prisma marker and then go over that in different shades of prisma pencils. I ink with pilot pens.
     
    well.......i still perfer the old fashioned pencil!
     
    Well when it somes to doing the pics I do it by computer and i do it by hand.
    I use graphite pencils for out lines and sketchs. I will also shade with them if i don't want to be in color. I use colored pencils and oil pastels for color pics.
    As for computer i use Paint Shop Pro 8. It is hard to first fiugre out but i like all the tools and abilitys it has.

    So do I. Anything old fashioned is good enough for me.

    I use normal pencils, Crayola colored pencils, and usual black gel pens.
