Genius tablet
My pencil

the problem Is I don’t have thumbs

I’m going to use this thread not as intended, but I consider writing to be my art, thus my tools are either ms word or a pen and paper.

My tools for art:
A mechanical pencil (No. 5 or 7)
High polymer erasers
Art pens (currently Helix)
MSPaint or Paint.NET
Mead Sketchbook or printer paper
Lexmark 3400 (scanner/printer combo)

For writing:
MS Word
Keyboard

For drawing:
Gimp
Mouse
2B Pencils
White paper
Napkins

That’s about it. I know I’m cheap lol. =P

Pencil for drawing, I honestly don’t know how to use any other media.

Finale Allegro 2007 for composing <3

Crappy old always out of tune piano.

Bach 44 stradivarius large bore trombone with an F attachment.

My Tools of Trade:

Pencil
Paper
Printer
Adobe Photoshop CS3

All I use for any art that I post online is sloppily composed using a small Wacom tablet I got for Christmas and an outdated version of Corel Painter Essentials.
As for music, I have a piano as well as a keyboard which I connect to Garageband to do whatever it is that you do with a piano, a keyboard, and Garageband.

My brain, My hand, My soul and my body.

Oh hahaha, just kidding.

I have no soul.

Laptop and Tablet.

*The Ninja peers around his room in the predawn gloom and tries to find what specific tools he uses to create his artwork. Being too lazy to look very hard this early, he decides to stick to broad generalizations instead of listing brands and specifications as zeeunknownartist did.*

Whatever pencils are lying around, preferably the sharpest one available,

Either lined paper or printer paper depending on what I stole the week before,

A “borrowed” scanner,

Rudimentary photo-editing software,

A wild, but slightly twisted imagination,

And last but not least, a pair of editors.

A mechanical pencil (if i have a working one)

My sketchbook

My camera

I hang from a ceiling fan set to top speed and masturbate. I’m avant-garde.

Staedtler pigment lilners (0.1, 0.3, 0.5, 0.7)
Sakura pigma pens (0.3, 0.5)
Faber-Castell PITT artist pens
Faber-Castell pencils (4h, 2h, h, hb, 2b, 4b, 6b)
Faber-Castell watercolor pencils
COPIC markers
Sharpie
Bamboo Fun Tablet (medium)
Photoshop Elements
GIMP
Corell Paint
Scanner
BIC highlighters
camera (for references)
several art books (again, for references)

Geeze Gabe, you must have used a lot of your money over the course of a couple years to get that stuff.

GIMP was free, as was Corell Paint. My camera and most of my art books were gifts from friends of the family, Sharpies are inexpensive and tons can be found laying around my house, same goes for the highlighters. I’ve been using the same pigment liners for three years now, and the Sakura pigment liners I pretty much stole from my sister.

Everything else, I bought. So I guess I have spent a lot of money… The only on that list that my parents got for me was the tablet. It’s kinda funny considering that they hardly ever let me use it.

Write:
Anything that my hand can reach:
paper
pen
pencil
msword
blood

Draw:
2 HD pencil
Fountain Pen
Opaline paper
Acteck Tablet
Fireworks CS3

And that’s it.

How did I forget blood and tears from my list!?

Because tears don’t leave an actual trace and only you will know what did you draw or write? Believe me, i’ve been making lot of story’s made of tears, and by noon you can’t even read them…total waste of time at long time…but delightful at the moment…that’s true..

Due to my constant lack of funds, I use nothing more than pencil, eraser gun and paper.

Paper
Pencil
Ruber
PKMN Damage counter(to draw circles)
HP printer/scanner
Paint.NET

Only these,i need a tablet -__-

I use

pencil
dirt-cheap HP scanner
talent

oh wait, that last one….

I use this:

Paper
Mech Pencil
Eraser
Scanner
Photoshop Elements 7
Wacom Bamboo
CorelDRAW X4 (If ever needed)

Drawing: I just use a pencil and paper, and maybe photoshop to clean it up.

A paintbrush, unsuspecting Twilight fans and fresh dog semen.

7 colors of Spraypaint, a 1 liter water bottle with the bottom cut out, any blank white paper

o.o Wow, you guys have so many different programs and special art supplies! Wish I could do more traditional stuff though.

Um. For sketching I use the Staedtler Mars Technico 2mm Lead Holder and either a random sketchbook I bought from some general store or white printer paper~ As for digital inking, the Wacom Inutos 3.

For traditional coloring, Crayola coloring pencils! Sometimes these cheap 100 marker sets in the children’s craft aisle. And for digital I use Photoshop CS3, although now and then I make pieces in Flash and openCanvas1.0.

No monies equals very little choice in programs to use.

I was using intuos 2 for few years, now i’m cintiq owner.
Traditional art? I’m not picky witch pencils and stuff.100 marker set sounds amazing @Mae, I just love playing with those.

oh wow I never knew some of these things that some use exisisted @.@

Drawingencil and paper.
Will use eraser if one is present, use scissors to sharpen them because they’re easier to use when i need a specific shape of the pencil.
Also,whatever i have lying around.

Music:my sax

Writing:I just don’t tend to write down what i make up,unless it have something to do with science(cliche:i treat science like art)

meh

Wow, 2mm?
I gotta get something like that. :3

#2 Pencil OR Mechanical
Paper [Sketch book paper, Notebook paper, Printer paper]
Epson Printer/Scanner
Adobe Photoshop Elements 4.0

@corvusfrugilegus: Wow. I really like your digital. o.o And yeah, aside from the major bleed through of the markers, they’re actually very useful.

@Ved of Flames: It’s really super light when dull, but very very dark when fine. Only thing is that it doesn’t come with an eraser, but does come with a built in sharpener! It is geared towards more drafting purposes, but I love it for general sketching.

Pencil + Notebook

Then…

Keyboard + Interwebs

I paint you a picture with words.

A pencil. That I found this one day on the ground. It had a nice eraser.
Paper. White.
A pen. If I don’t have my pencil on me.
Than scan into my computer and ink or color in Photoshop (CS5 most recently) using a crappy $20 tablet. Literally $20. New. Plus shipping.
I am a behemoth of art and literature. Obviously.

the best art is the art of war.

Paper. Pencil. Eraser. Pen.
Occasional colored pencils.

On computer: laptop touchpad.
I am a poor person with no photoshop or a tablet. help me.
