Do you use a Pen or a Pencil?
And other suggestions are welcome
Me? You all ask in symphony... Pen! Same effect just less shades...
But I like the darker stronger context.
Give a reason.. Just curious!

Cheers

pencil O.o

i like it better, easier to do shadows & erase parts you dont like

Pencil simply because I don't wanna start all over if I screw up nor do I wanna go over the mistake with a pen and then label the drawing as a "sketch" I like keeping my lines nice and clean.Actually I have topic in the AC with one of my drawings you can check it out if you want and tell me what you think.

You cant sketch with a pen anyways o.O

in my study, we get tought to sketch with black fineliners only.

i sketch with a blue bic ballpen

Agreed, you can sketch with pen, any type actually and depth is shown by how close the lines are and width of the lines.


Use pencil, many people who use pen have no idea what they're doing and end up screwing themselves over.

Pencils ftw imo

HmmmHmmm, +1 to the above. I've always drawn with pencils, I only didn't when I didn't have anything else at hand.

The only time i use pens is to go over the pencil to erase the roughs.

i draw with my invisible pencil

mostly pen since thats what I have during classes

hehe...
Pencils are good if your going to be drawing for a while... But I guess it depends on the thing your drawing
Anyway if you make a mistake with a pen it simply challenges you to make it flow in the the rest of the art!
