I don't like crayons because they don't fill in spaces well and I don't like any type of marker because they feel weird against the paper and make a sound that makes me feel sick.
Pastel and charcoal 😭
Not only is dirty and you can easily mess up, but if you’re a person who sweats a lot you keep removing pigment off the canvas by accident while trying to blend. For me personally it’s so freaking annoying.
Crayon, pastels, chalk, stuff like that oh my god the debris that comes off when you use that kinda stuff 😭
I don't like charcoal. It's rough, coarse, and irritating, and it gets to everywhere.
Crayons - everything is sticky and full of wax bits after
Chalk & charcoal
Just, didn't like it
But tbh, I get on with most mediums
Oil paint, you have to immediately clean your brushes with the solution other wise they are ruined forever and it takes forever to dry
Charcoal. I had to use it for a college art class last year and it gets messy.
clay
Probably charcoal. It's fun but messy and just annoying to deal with.
even though I use them a lot, colored pencils. they hurt my hand a lot
Chalk pastels. I barely use mine anymore. They break so easily and they are extremely expensive. If I were to use chalk pastels for anything nowadays, it would be for small details only.
Chalk pastels. Whoever uses chalk pastels is a freak and I stand by that
