Man that happened to me. I was a graphic design major in undergrad, thinking I could get a job designing cars with that degree. I've always wanted to design cars since I was knee high to a duck, but I didn't do the research. Anyway I got my degree and went to school for transportation design. I never graduated though. Since I already had a BA, I said whichever came 1st. A career designing cars or graduation with a 2nd BA. I built up a portfolio and kept sending it out and interviewing while I was in school. When I got the job, I left.

LOL, yeah those prisma color markers are expensive, and chart pack markers don't last at all. Now, IDs are using photoshop, alias and studio paint. Paper is still being used, but the computer is the main tool now. It was hard to get used to, because I had to learn how to look at the screen and sketch without looking down.

My favorite medium to render in though are color pencils. I like to sketch with either Indigo Blue or Tuscan Red. Pen and ink are cool too.
