My favorite media...

I really like to draw and shade in pen (heck even sketch in it), so much that I've eventually completely lost interest in pencil drawings. There's just something about it that I like so much more than pencil; I really only use colored pencils to integrate tones in my drawings. I'm wondering if this isn't exactly the best kind of drawing tool to use for the long run... like, perhaps pencil really is much more flexible than pen with the way I'm going for illustration purposes.

I may not even be concise enough... Embarassed

I'm no really sure what the question is...But if you like pen, seems to me you should stick with it. But you may wish to consider a pencil drawing first, then go over it in pen, then erase the pencil. It'll save you paper, and keep you picture clean. For pens or markers, I prefer Micron or Fabercastel. There are illustrators out there, tho, that start in pen and stay in pen, or start in watercolor and stay in watercolor. If you're comfortable with your media, stick with it, unless you encounter a problem.
