Really? No one answered? Well allow me to break the ice then.

1. What do you use to create your art? (Traditional, Digital, or Both, and what programs)

2. What's your setup like when you draw?

[I know the tools don't make the artist, but I like asking out of curiosity]

1. I used to create drawings exclusively on paper. Until recently, I made drawings in a combined form - line on paper, color in SAI 2. Now I have completely switched to digital.
2. I didn't quite understand the second question. Usually I just sit down at the drawing, having a rough idea of it, about what kind of atmosphere I want to convey through it.

Cool how you progressed from paper to digital. I did a similar thing when I first started drawing too. Went from paper exclusively, then when I got my drawing tablet and played around with it using Krita, I found that it wasn't all that different from drawing on paper. Then I quickly switched to all digital because I could play around with colour.

For the second question, I was wondering what equipment you use while drawing and how you use it.
For example: I have an "at home", and "on-the-go" setup when I draw.

For my "at home" setup, I have my XP-Pen drawing tablet Artist Pro 15.6 in front of me, and my Thinkpad T420 behind the tablet with a keyboard & mouse on a tray. This way I can look at references while drawing.
(There's also a second computer, but it's a little complicated to explain)

My "on-the-go" setup is where I have this table on my lap with my laptop and drawing tablet on top of each-other, so that I can draw using the same equipment while sitting in a chair...next to an outlet. Battery life is poor while drawing on this laptop.

I have a Wacom graphics tablet. Model - "CTL-412"
To be honest, it was hard for me to switch to full-time work on a tablet, because creating a line was completely impossible for me. However, over time I learned, and now my paper costs have significantly decreased, which I am glad about! Well, you don't have to buy materials for work, like liners or brush-pens
