Didn't realize I had anon asks on. Okay which one is that one...
What's your favorite medium? Give us some art supply recommendations! / If you're a solely digital artist, what is your setup like?
When it comes to traditional there's only one thing I still do: copics. Or rather, alcohol-based markers in general, because I can't afford copics most of the time, haha. Of course, the markers themselves don't magically make good art - you have to really play around with blending and stuff, but once you do it unlocks so many possibilities. And invest on some watercolor paper too or else your colors will bleed through and the paper will get wrinkly.
I also had a lot of fun using oil paints in college, but it's such an inconvenient medium - it smells horrible and takes a while to dry and you just need to have your own space for it. And honestly? Ballpoint pens are also super underrated as a medium. You can do a lot with line variation and hatching.
When it comes to digital art, which is most of what I do, I just have a 13" cintiq and use Clip Studio Paint - or Aseprite for pixel art. I don't think the specific kind of tablet you use matters much, but I've had this cintiq for 8 years now and it serves me well. I'd love to upgrade to a bigger screen if only because it's a bit hard to see small details on this one...
