If you do art, chances are you have some favorite tools or supplies that you favor more than others. This is a place to discuss your methods, materials, and tools that give you the best results in your work.
As for me... when I am doing digital work, I start off doing the linework with my tablet in SAI Paint Tool. This software is also good for the colors as well, as it has some very simple and intuitive selection methods. After I have it colored and drawn, any global adjustments such as size, cropping, textures, or overall color adjusting I do in Photoshop.
With traditional work, I always use pencil or pen/ink for the lines, then do all the coloring in one go with watercolor. I've always stuck with watercolor for several reasons, but it just suits my method more than any other media.
