I like a whole lot of mediums, but my absolute favorite is the humble drawing. If pressed, I’d say pen on paper is my preferred category.

I love how one can take the simplest of materials and create a window into an abstracted reality. It’s a raw medium, where it’s hard to undo what is already there, so one has to either incorporate errors into the final piece or avoid them entirely.

So what is your favorite medium for visual art? Have you attempted it yourself?

    Tbh, really neat architectural renderings best scratch the itch for me. And I therefore prefer photography and digital drawings more than paintings.

      I don’t mind a good structured illustration. There was a 00-10s trend, foe example the grand budapest hotel style. Seeing the fine lines combine to create depth speaks to detail and perfection.
