Yeah, so I'm wondering... What do anime artists use to colour their stuffs? Watercolour? Ink? Colour pencils? o.0

....And to certain other people, I am fully aware of the existence of Adobe Photoshop 7. I'm just asking.

I use oekaki... There's also prisma colour felts... I think that's what they're called. (My friends often use them.)

Real anime artists used to use inks & paints, but now use total cg.

When it comes to paper, I just use regular computer paper, or buy a sketchbook from Wal-Mart or something. I sketch out my pictures with a regular mechanical pencil (0.5 mm lead if you're wondering), and I use Zig Mellenium pens for inking.

To color, I use Prismacolor Pencils, or of course, a mix between Photoshop 6.0 (yes, 6. It still works just as well o_O) and Paint Shop Pro 7 (since I still don't work too well with Photoshop).

That, or I just sketch it and scan it. :P
