Ceramic. i work with it professionally ( I could not find a non-douchey way to say that.)

I love the versatility of texture and color.

I’ve always been drawn to the vibe of sketches. A sketchy style feels raw and has kind of a simplified impressionist feeling that strikes a nice balance between realism and abstraction

I think each kind of art has its purpose in regards to my enjoyment. I get certain things out of each, mostly catharsis, different for each one. I would like working with every kind if I actually had talent with a certain type. I have mostly been a writer, photographer, and instrumentalist in my life. Now I am nothing.

I mean I like working with various media in general, but I'd say my favorite is a simple ink pen and paper. LOL.

I like making crappy "encaustic" sculptures. Shoot, I just like playing with wax. I've even taken cheese wax and made "abstract" blobs.

I prefer paper and pencil, my drawing almost always looks better at the sketch phase than at than any other. I do decent with digital media and I'm confident that if I could afford the right kind of tablet, I could do some more extravagant work. I useless with the tablets that don't have a screen, my hand eye coordination is garbage.

I love looking at clay and ceramic art. In middle school, I made a snowy owl in art class from clay. I modeled it after Harry Potter's owl Hedwig. It's not the best as I'm not a very good artist, but I worked very hard on it. My owl statue still sits on my dresser.

If I'm going to create any sort of art, my tool of choice is colored pencil. I just really like colored pencils, and I own a ton of them.

acrylics just because it's more fun than working with oils c'mon, you can clean it, you don't have to deal with toxic gases, it's faster, endless advantages
for drawings mostly pencil + pen + digital colouring

I'm a huge texture whore, so my favorite art will deliver a sense of that. I cannot pick just one form, but I mostly create via sketching and photography, and I've worked with acrylic and oil pastels. I'd love to try oil paint, and also pyrography (the art of burning wood). I'd also really like to learn graphic design so that I can further play with photography and mixed media. Also, my favorite subject is nudes.

It's impossible to say which one is my favorite media of all time!!!! Though long time I thought my media is digital drawing, because I did it most and got positive feedback from it. I have tried many art and craft techniques. From paper stitching to mosaic and from printmaking to aquarelles.

But I can say my favorite technique currently to do art is the aquarelles. I was afraid to start working with that technique at first, because I thought it is a super hard technique.

Work with, I like sketch/charcoal pencils because I can achieve dark deep tones(both literally and metaphorically) and they're awesome for shading and textures. I like glitter markers because they're shiny and they feel so smooth when using them and it's satisfying. I like painting with acrylics too, though I like painting stuff like birdhouses more than painting on an actual canvas. I think it's just cause I like making crafts-I like making my own, um, thing?(like making my own mugs and jewelry). For crafts, I like pretty much everything except sewing/knitting cause I'm terribly uncoordinated in that realm.

Look at, I love digital art, except making digital art is a pain. Everything that looks good on paper looks cringy when it's drawn on screen, drawing tablet or none. I don't hate it cause I went to a trade school for graphic design and we used Illustrator and stuff to make t-shirts and bottle labels which was pretty fun. But yeah, the actual drawing part is blah. By digital art, I mostly like looking at art of my favorite shows. Markers are nice too, as they're super vibrant and make things look like digital art on a piece of paper. I also like moodboards as well as photography, especially travel pics/ landscapes and foooood.
