I don't do much drawing, but when it happens I mostly stick with a regular pencil. I don't color much of my work, because it tends to look artificial.

I usualy prefer Copic or watercolors when I color traditionally (which is rare these days).

I love bright colours and my favourite medium is oil pastel. I go for the smearing technique so it's like finger painting - totally hands on and very messy, but the smoothness of the oil is pleasing. Unfortunately there is a big difference between the cheap ones and the expensive ones, my favourite brand is Caran Dache; really soft and gooey. Unfortunately they are really expensive at nearly $5 a stick, meaning in a big picture I can put $2-300 worth of pastel on!

As to favourite colours, I like to use basic primaries and secondaries and blend them for anything else I need.

I use any type of pencil colors I find although I like the types which you can mix and smudge
My favorite colores are blue, Grey, black, other cool colors, I also like yellow, red and orange sometimes.

I used to hate coloring but now I like it more than drawing; its more fun and entertaining. :D

I tend to use grey graphite pencils, but I sometimes draw with coloured pencils as well :p

Idk about anybody else, but I love using pens for sketches. The messy pen look makes my sketches look a bit more detailed and have a glossier effect although slight messups may be visible. Acrylic paints and pastels are fun to use for fullout drawings because they're cheap and produce a nice finishing touch to them. I've used pastels to draw flower during late grade 8 and early grade 9, but then I got into painting just last summer, and it's so fun. I'm not very fond of the look of dry brush techniques, I prefer impasto or water colours because they add more value and depth in the work. But the thing is that it's so hard to use those techniques because I feel like a always need to fix the painting somehow, so I end up smoothing it out until all of the depth is gone.

Wait, I wasn't on topic. I like to use analogous colours when drawing, painting, or sketching.

I like thick messy ink too. I also find it frustrating that mistakes are harder to fix, but the thick black ink against a white background looks awesome. Mistakes can sometimes be "fixed" creatively.

Acrylic paint, watercolor paint, colored pencils, and does digital art count?

Digital art definitely counts. They've had BFA's in Graphic design at the State University here in town since 2001. I use to enjoy drawing things and then scanning them into Illustrator and manipulating them into something new.

I used charcoal pencils for shading and lines, while I use colored pencils for color the pictures.
