Anonymous asked: As an artist, what is your medium of choice? And, which is your least favorite? Are there certain reasons you feel this way, and if so, what?

my favorite medium is digital, mostly because I’ve become so accustomed to it? more specifically digital painting because it’s easy to be precise and incredibly detailed and it gives me the chance to very readily utilize color theory (COLORS ARE THE BEST) and yeah

hilariously enough my least favorite medium is actual paint (both acrylics and watercolor although I guess I prefer acrylic) for the exact opposite reasons; I just have so much trouble controlling the brush. it’s also annoying to mix the perfect color then not have enough of it (I never mix enough paint) then find yourself unable to properly make it again. my only experience with painting is in the constraints of a class though, maybe if I had more time to do it leisurely at my own pace I would enjoy it more.

thank you for the question! I really enjoy getting to answer stuff like this
