Anyone have any idea what markers/colored pencils etc are good for coloring traditional art? I'm thinking of doing traditional recolors and the markers & pencils I have aren't the best lol.

Polychromos are a godsend, but also a little expensive. I think the most important thing isn't necessarily the pencils, but the paper. A paper with more tooth will hold more layers and by then even your less great pencils will perform better - With bad paper even the best pencils can be horrible to work with.
I just use strathmore bristol vellum, personally.

I'm currently short on money so Im currently just been using printer paper for finished, would use my sketch books but they are full lol.

Maybe I might just work with what I have until I get a new job xD if you look at the link I posted up to you can see a colored example.. Its based off someone's lion

Well, printer paper isn't very receptive to colored pencil, because it's so smooth. Markers should be fine though - But getting paper definitely would be helpful!

Just saw that - It's not bad at all ^^

Hey guys, I was wondering if any of you had an art tablet? I need a good one that's not so expensive. Any ideas?

@yoshimitzu I mean,I will always recommend a cintiq :p best tablet I've come across. Most wacom tablets are pretty great, and they have a large teams in all prices.

I recommend the intous pro - Simply because, let's be honest, you said not too expensive, and cintiqs are... Really expensive, lol

Yoshimitzu, I personally use a Wacom Intuos, which I got for right around $100. I've had it for several years now(at least 3), and other than needing to replace the pen a few months ago, I've had no problems with the tablet itself(I had some program issues, but it was on my end). Not matter what brand you go for, if the pen/stylus is using "nibs"(think of it as a sort of "pencil lead" if the stylus was a mechanical pencil), see if there's a screen/surface protector for the tablet. I get mine for around $10 and I only have to change my nibs every month or so, and that's with intense usage XD You may need to get a new one every now and then, but it will protect your tablet and save your nibs.

EDIT: Also, there's an interesting, and somewhat recent tablet out there called the Slate that personally intrigues me, but I've had no experience with myself(so I can't speak for its durability, performance, and so on). It's a tablet designed so that you have a piece of paper on which you draw, and that will essentially "transfer" to your program on a device with the proper app(at least it seems to have a specific program for itself. It has a compatibility list on the product page, but you should be fine). If you then buy the special pen stylus(the Tip), it will essentially work like any normal drawing tablet, with any program(PS, GIMP, Krita, etc). The tablet is $180, and the stylus I mentioned is $20, but honestly it seems like a great way to transition from paper and pencil to digital.
