Digital is much easier on my arm, so when I can get to my desk (not lately because I SERIOUSLY need to get those wraps before I spend any more time at a desk outside of my day job), I favor Paint Tool Sai for sketching\/inking and water-color style painting, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro for sketching and markers, and Art Rage for crayon\/chalky stuff. I kind of cycle through them in phases for whatever I feel like doing, so it\u2019s all terribly inconsistent… but I DO process all of them through Adobe Photoshop CS6 (or CC if I\u2019m at work) at the end for level and color adjustment.\u00a0<\/p>\n

But sometimes I prefer 0.5 mechanical pencils. I used to color with prismacolor pencils, but it destroyed my already injured arm… so I tend to stick to markers (prismacolor) when I\u2019m doing\u00a0\u201cserious\u201d stuff, often blended with just a LITTLE bit of colored pencil (cheap crayolas).\u00a0<\/p>\n Lately, I\u2019ve been experimenting with brush pens and highlighters and I am LOVING it. They\u2019re way more portable than watercolors, and so much less messy. But once I can be at my art desk, I\u2019d like to do more watercolor and ink wash stuff.\u00a0<\/p>\n Pens, though. I love messy sketching.\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Digital is much easier on my arm, so when I can get to my desk (not lately because I SERIOUSLY need to get those wraps before I spend any more time at a desk outside of my day job), I favor Paint Tool Sai for sketching\/inking and water-color style painting, Autodesk Sketchbook Pro for sketching … Continue reading What are your preferred medias\/programs?<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[1000,505],"class_list":["post-3031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-art-stuff","tag-faq","without-featured-image"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=3031"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/3031\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=3031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=3031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/archive.gabapple.com\/tumblr\/gabapple\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=3031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
