Preferred media:
Digital
I hope that someday soon digital will make the transition to accepted tool for "real" artwork. I love it’s ability to "paint" as many layers as needed to get just the right shade without building up heavy layers that will crack, to be able to undo a careless or unintended stroke. Programs used frequently currently include Pixia, Gimp and Corel.
Watercolors
Usually in combination with inks and or pencil tracings. I prefer a thick, not quite pasty, mix of paint that I can water down on my brush as I go. I enjoy using different materials to paint on and have works on everything from semi transparent mock vellum to stretched canvas.
Oils and acrylics
I use these less often, as they are both more expensive and less forgiving of sudden loss of fine motor control. Of the two, I prefer acrylic as it has a feel closer to the watercolors that I use more often.
