What do you use to draw your utau?

I have a Bamboo Tablet, SAI and Photoshop, but I rarely use them.
The most of the times, I draw on paper/traditional art, or I sketch something on iPod/iPad app "Sketch Book Pro". It's reaaaaaly helpful, since I feel better using my own fingertips to draw than using a digital pen to draw on a tablet. :P

I use a Wacom Intuos4 tablet and Paint Tool SAI, plus Photoshop and a Chinese photo editing software called KanKan for finishing touches. o v o

Bamboo Fun Medium and Photoshop Cs4 for digital drawings.

With traditional, which I enjoy more most of the time, I use (mechanical)pencils, aquapaint and regular color pencils. :smile:

I use a simple Bamboo Pen Tablet ;; With Paint Tool Sai and GIMP when needed.

For traditional stuff, I really only ever just sketch "bases" with my mechanical pencil on computer paper ;; And touch it up digitally.

Digital: Ms Paint + gotta try MS Paint on my "emergency" laptop (since it's a Windows 7 and thus, the Paint on it is different from the one I have on my usual PC) and also test some effects with Paint.NET
Also, I began recently to mess around with DA Muro

Traditional : colour pencils + pens ; but mostly, I prefer to use my beloved favourite watercolour ! <3 (And I'm happy to see I'm not the only one using this wonder <3 )

I use a small Bamboo Fun tablet, SAI, and GIMP for most of my art. (GIMP is mostly for minor text/transparency edits.)

I often use a paper and a pencil to draw before using Paint Tool SAI and a mouse to draw digitally.

Well I recently got SAI so-

I use MS Paint (for sketches) + Paint Tool Sai (for coloring and lining) + GIMP (for minor edits) and use a touchpad/trackpad.

Traditionally wise, I use paper and pencil and every colored pencil that I have (Crayola, Rose Art...etc.)

Clip Studio Paint is a highly recommended paid program since you can pretty much do illustration up to animation on it.

Or if you still prefer a free software, you can try MediBang Paint Pro which is also available on different platforms such as iOS, and Android.

Personally, I use illustrator to draw and I use a XP-Pen Artist 15.6 Pro Drawing Tablet with Screen . For a first timer I would recommend learning the basics without the tablet, and once you’re feeling confident with the basics introduce the tablet. The basics you should be learning first are the pen tool and pathfinder, move into the brush and blob brush tool after you have an understanding of how shapes and paths work, these are really important workflows in illustrator.

I use Medibang and would highly reccomend it.

Those are my main tools, but sometimes I draw in Paint, GIMP, or FireAlpaca/Medibang for fun. I used to use Clip Studio Paint, but after trying SAI and realizing everything I could do in CSP I could also do in SAI I switched over. SAI is a much smaller program, too, so.

I sometimes draw with paper, for digital software I originally used fire alpaca just to get a grasp on drawing with digital software but then moved onto clip studio. I also use a display tablet since eye and hand coordination isn’t really my thing.
