For my webcomics I draw with Clip Studio Paint EX and use a wacom Intuos BT S tablet, and pencil and pens color pencils for my comics on sketchbooks or notebooks.

i've been using no screen pen tablets almost exclusively for all my digital art, starting with a cheap VisTab tablet then exclusively Wacom Intuos which thankfully the only issue i had was a bad cord that was somewhat easily fixed with a bit of electrical tape and proper positioning till i could get a new one (i'd prefer to get the bluetooth hookup it's just wacom's accepted forms of payment is a hassle)

for traditional stuff i think i've only ever really used pens, pencils, highlighters and colored pencils. paints and me never really clicked and other supplies i just haven't had access to :sweat_02:

I just bought myself an ipad pro and I usually draw on a xpen22e.
I used to have a wacom intuos 8 years ago but couldn´t get used to it in terms of eye-hand coordination.

50% of the time I still draw with pencils on paper which will always feel the best for me
because I´m so used to the paper texture

Besides inking traditionally, I have a Surface 3 for post-scan retouching & flatting. Its Surface pen works nicely on Krita.

I have a Gaomon pen tablet with screen and it's my first tablet ever that I got for like 250 bucks. Have had no issue drawing on it everyday for the last 4 years.

And then my friend let me try her Ipad pro... now I want an ipad pro.

Alright, I'm gonna be in the minority but that's fine lol.
My entire comic is done with copic markers, scaned and edited with PS.

Started out with a Wacom Intuos no screen tablet...used that for about 6 yrs until I bought a 22" Huion Kamvas screened tablet; been using it for the last 2 years(the first year was actually me getting used to it, and not liking that I couldn't flip the stylus to erase...then my old laptop kept freezing up and crashing when I used CSP on it- the laptop issue went away when I bought a new laptop).

I also have an iPad that I've had for 4 years, but I barely do much art on it...but I do use it from time to time when I don't feel like being stuck at my desk or when I scribble art stuffs when away from home.

As for traditional stuffs when doing serious work I use non-photo blue pencils, Koh-i-noor technical pens, and ink nibs(and a brush for fill-ins); for quick stuff on the go, I use non-photo blue pencils, Kuretake Millennium micron pens & a PITT brush pen for fill-ins. I only use regular pencil(Staedler leadholders & .07mm mechanical pencils) when doing sketchbook art...I also use my Millennium microns and Col-Erase colored pencils in the sketchbook as well.

For my main serie, 6,75, I use pigma micron fineliners, and a black pen (usually Art & Graphic Twi) for panels and bigger black areas. Cover illustrations for each chapter are done with watercolours.

For my digital arts (so back when I was drawing TMIC and for random drawings) I used to use wacom intuos no screen tablet, which was really nice. Last year I got a huion kamvas tablet with a screen, AND OH MY THE DIFFERENCE. I knew it probably would be easier to draw with a screen tablet, but I never expected the difference to be that big cx

Minority. Not alone. It's okay, we can be in the minority together. (secret marker nerd handshake)

I've been drawing with a medium sized screenless tablet for a really long time now. I'm pretty happy with my Wacom Intuos Medium. It does the job! I'm so used to working with a tablet without a screen that I've never really felt a need to re-learn to draw on one with a screen, especially when they're so expensive. :sweat_02:

@Scarlet_Cryptid It's alright to be in minority, bud :smiley: It's nice how you sorted the colors according to the tones you are using. I'm storing mine in the plastic containers. Had them before stacked up but when I moved I kept them like this. This photo has been taken three years ago but nothing much has changed though.

I drew my pages by hand using ink pens, then I scan them and correct everything on clip studio paint using my bamboo tablet.

A lot more people use screen tablets than I expected! A lot less mouse users and traditional artists, though. I wasn't expecting anyone to use finger on screen. That's impressive!

I use an XP-Pen Star G604 to draw

But for webcomics, I do the thumbnails in traditional, then scan it and then ink and color digitally on Clip Studio Paint

Phone with stylus, so essentially a screen tablet I guess :stuck_out_tongue:

Mouse is more difficult than finger on screen imo :'D

Thinking about it now, I can see it! I've never had a tablet or phone big enough (or with any drawing apps) to test that out on. Using a touchpad, as in the ones that come with laptops, is torture to me. Anyone who uses that to draw holds a power that I can't comprehend.

Ohh yeah, that's even worse than using a mouse :'D At least with finger on screen, the cursor appears on the spot you touch your finger to instead of having to move it back and fourth XD

For some odd reason, I'm having a really hard time transitioning from a regular tablet to a screen tablet. so I have a good o'l iMac and an Intuos Wacom tablet. This way, I can browse the internet when taking a break.:yum:
