My favorite medium is most definitely
mechanical pencil. I've always found comfort in being able to pick up a pencil and start drawing without all
the preparation, setup and cleanup involved with other mediums.
Being the detail-oriented artist that I am,
I find that a mechanical pencil suits my needs for crisp thin lines as well as giving me the option of soft
gradient hues. Plus with all the erasing I do, a pencil is damn near necessary. =)
Later on, I adopted the use of pen in my pencil works to bring out details
within the foreground of my drawings. It's quite striking how the picture jumps out at you with this technique.
You can see examples of this in "Sentinel", "Abandoned", and "Rage".
