What software and hardware do you use?

I use Painter and Sketchbook Pro for drawing (occasionally Illustrator for vectory stuff).
Photoshop for all the tricks and whatnot.
And then the auxiliary software for creating 3D reference, etc. - Sketchup, Moi, Poser, Zbrush and Vue.
I use mostly an HP desktop with a Cintiq 21 and a 2nd monitor. And a Companion too.

Software = Paper, Hardware = Pencil.

On my three year old laptop, much older wacom bamboo and (looks at start menu's installed programs) Artweaver 5 (use this the most) also has installed: Krita desktop, Paint.net, Project dogwaffle, Realworld paint, Inkscape, Manga studio ex, Pixia vers 6, Sculptris and Wings 3D.

On my Galaxy note 10.1: Artflow (my main output for creativity apart from Minecraft ), Autodesk sketchbook (somehow two different versions) Corel paint, PS touch and the built in S note app.

Been AFA (away from art) for far too long - not lost skill so much, just lost the get up and go to create it.

You've been away from us too long, Ed! Maybe the challenges can be that kick in the rear to get back into art? Did you see the current fantasy self portrait challenge?

Yep I think it's possible I just need that kick in the, but yeah I did start on the latest challenge and you've now commented on it

Need to work out why my Wacom bamboo is acting up, though I do now remember dropping the pen a few days ago so hope it's not broken - can't afford a new one.

PS4 on an iMac with a Intuos 4 Also have Artrage but don't work on it as much. And the free version of Sketch Up
