Acrylicccc :) I like to paint with my fingers so oil is a no go. Also love oil pastels, conte crayon, and and charcoal (really, anything I can smear with my hands 
)

I have a love/hate relationship acrylic paints but recently started oils and fell IN LOVE!! I also love drawing with my alcohol markers and still learning how to color with Procreate
•
Acrylics but I get that the result can be more opaque comparing oil paintings. But I like how fast it dries
•
I really like alcohol markers and color pencils I used to not like color pencils much before but I am trying to work them into my art for extra detailing
•
I prefer watercolours or simple graphite pencil.
Also I am trying to work on digital sometimes, but it’s really difficult for me. I admire every digital artist because my patience is just not enough for this medium.

I really like oil paint even if it's been years that I haven't touched any !! But I feel it's such a versatile medium, you can do so many things with it 
My favorite medium is acrylics
And I'm developing a strong love for coloured pencils also

Ok I give you SOOOO much credit for liking oil paint cause it has such a beautiful finish! My fav mediums boil down to a couple, I love pencil, like honestly, I really like working with a fine point, and I LOVE oil pastel! It has such a unique look, it has an organic finish and I can really play with colors with oil pastelllls!
•
Alcohol markers are my absolute favorite but I like sketching in pencil and experimenting with every other media too 
•
I’m not good at it whatsoever but gouache is so fun to use, I also like alcohol markers, and I have an obsession with collecting fine liners and brush pens
•
When I worked in traditional, i was a huge fan of pen/pencil combined with watercolour/gouache
Seeing other folks’ gouache lineless work heavily influenced my art!
I will say though, oil was one of the most satisfying paints i’ve ever worked with. :•D

•I wouldn't consider myself a traditional artist (amymore) but I love working with acrylics and color pencils. I have a lot of spare canvas boards laying around so I might get back to doing that.

I honestly mostly use just graphite pencil on paper. I do also paint occasionally and for that I prefer acyrlics mixed with water (so they end up a little like watercolour). I also like watercolour pencils
