Do you like drawing in color, Black and White, or digitally?

What do you use to color ... if you do?



--> Prefer B and W. I use .5 pencil, ultra fine sharpie, thick sharpie. Also i am ordering Micron pens. Micron has a .005 tip for some.

--> Color i use high quality markers... ie sharpie color selection, micron color selection, and others.

-->Digital: Corel Painter 8.0 , photoshop. Learning this... i am practicing so when i do web developing on my summers off of teaching i can do something i love!

I never use traditional coloring techniques since I don't make the time and don't have the resources for them. Some pens are pretty expensive.

I digitally color whenever I can. I could use more practice.

I do more B/W since I'm focused on mangakaing. I pretty much use any ink pens I can get my hands on. I used to utilize mechanical pencils but my left hand kept smudging. (>.<)

I usually do pencils. My weapon of choice is the mechanical pencil. I also like drawing with sharpies. For color I usually do colored pencil or watercolor pencils.

I like black and white - because I have black ink, and I have white paper, and it looks cool.

I usually draw in pencil and outline in a felt tip pen. I don't color. It leaves more to the imagination, plus I'm bad at coloring :)

But the few times I have colored, I used coloring pencils. Nothing too fancy or expensive.

I usually only draw in plain pencil anymore. I ink stuff occasionally, and sometimes vectorize stuff in Illustrator. Used to use Photoshop a lot, but haven't had the time lately...

I use a combination of all 3. I draw in balck and white. I then color wiht crayons (crayola gives the nicest effect) and I digitally add it people like richard nixon.

So there.

Black and white primarily--mechanical and 2h pencils, brush and ink, pens, and paper. Occasional coloring on Photoshop. That way I don't have to worry about screwing up my lineart :P

BW - mechanical G2 .5 pencils pretty much exclusively (ink pens occasionaly) - i'm attached to the G2 line for some reason (but they stopped making the .5 G2s now... oh well. at least i have six of them)
