I was wondering if you wouldn't mind telling us what art software you primarily use.

(This feels like a personal question even though I don't think it is?? Lol)

Alternatively, do you feel like sharing your general opinion(s) about any art software you've used?

I actually have so many "technical" art questions for you, but I won't be annoying lol.

Hi! Sure no problem!

I may have mentioned this before but I still use the open-source (free) software Krita! I am a Windows and Linux person so this was just the best choice for my computer and Huion tablet combo. And did I mention, it's FREE! and I got a free pencil brush pack that I use every day.

I don't have much experience with other applications bc of the steep (subjective) prices/subscriptions and even some cancelation fees.

When starting my digital art journey I just did not want to invest too much should I not enjoy it.

I am not an Apple stan so can't speak on the workflow of Procreate and Apple devices themselves. I have nitpicks from what I have seen of Procreate tools, but people really like it and it is portable, unlike my setup.

If you have more questions let me know. I may not have all the answers but maybe I can point you in the right direction.

My degenerate art bin that I store my arcylica-gouache paints in is covered in stickers.

And yes, *that* sticker is the sticker you think it is.

Plenty more room to put more stickers on it.

Art Supplies I'm Using Right Now (Sept. 24, 2023)

I like posting exact materials on here to help me keep track of how I make a particular piece, so I'm making this as a masterlist of everything I use right now so I can just copy and paste in the future.

I'm not planning on cataloging every single supply I have right now, so I'll update it as I post more - the date in the title will be the most recent update. As of right now, none of these are affiliate links and are just here for people's convenience. I will try to link directly to the manufacturer as much as possible to make it easier to access more detailed information about the product. Any links to retailers should be house brands.

My beautiful boyfriend @spellboundcities made art of the wonderful DDVAU (made by @xmaruu11 and @kitsuneisi respectively) and, obviously, i took that as a CHALLENGE!

So here's some fanart for a wonderful AU!

Curious what is the program you've been using? For your digital work.

Hi! Thanks for reaching out! I use Krita for my digital art. Might upgrade one day but I'm using what is free to me.

I guess this is an art supply page now because I post art on my regular tumblr and I always need reminding of what supplies I’ve used in the past.
