I started, for sure, as a lil girl with traditional XD First typical kids works, then pencils only for a good long while. When I got my first PC I was using Paint the most, but it was very simple and didnt have much possibilities back then XD I grew into Microsoft Picture Publisher and Photoshop later (though I never found my way into the professional streak tho xD).. I havnt done much traditional then. I started using Acrylics in 2002 but Its like... 1 picture all 2-3 years? ^°:: I like it but with children its pretty difficult. If I do it, its mostly gift art.
So when I started working nightshift once a week, I first spent the time I had doing nothing (its a 1 to 1 care position, so when my boi sleeps, I got nothing to do XD) to read. Then I discovered I could draw as well and went there with coloured pencils first. At some point I stumbled over Wilsor and Newton markers and I loved them... Since then I got quite a lot Markers and Im moving over to Copics slowly. So most of my Quirls art is not Traditionally. Sure, when I put a looot of work into a digital piece, I can make it look very pretty, but Traditional has so much advantages for me now.. I have something good to do in night shift, I dont have to spend my freetime XD,- I am much faster than with digital art and I wont kill my back with it.
