what is your medium?
Lunchbox:
My favourite is my Wacom and MS Paint. I have a lot more confidence with Paint than I do Photoshop (I do use PS CS for other things), I think it is because the pixellation hides any little errors that I make.
When drawing on paper I prefer coloured felt-tip markers or Sharpie.
The Unknown:
My medium seems to be a pen and a pad. Most of my drawing is done in pen in my school agenda at school, and although it is small, some of the things in it aren't bad. I try to draw in the sketchbook I own, but the page size and the paper quality seems to throw me off, I dunno. I bought a tablet, and I was planning on using it quite a bit, but until I get a faster comp, I won't be able to use it to effectively draw.
I enjoy writing as well. Please ignore the horrid quality of this post, however; it is not a good indicator. I swear.
Splintered1:
I used to be anti-digital, and worked in oils, acrylics, and pen & ink, but lame illustration pay and need for speed forced me to convert to a wacom tablet, photoshop, and Corel Painter.
AnotherQCaddict:
My medium is human reaction. I piss someone off, and enjoy the fireworks. The more subtly I slip in the provoking comment, and the more blatantly I reveal that I offended the person in the first place, the more entertaining to watch
of course, I'm not much of an artist in any other respect.

Photography is a good medium for me. As for drawing and the likes of that, I prefer an HB pencil. One of the classes I took last semester required a sketchbook, and he recommended a few types of pencil, but I just liked the HB a lot.
When I'm at home with more stuff at my disposal, I like to experiment with non-traditional mediums. I've done paintings with dish soap, food coloring, paper towels, dirt, charcoal (not the stuff you buy- what you've burned yourself), fruits and vegetables, cardboard, wallpaper (off the wall, naturally)... and the list goes on. I'm not saying I'm some sort of revolutionary artist, as most of them turn out to be crap, but sometimes you get something truly amazing.
