How do people make the art on Deviantart.com?

I love deviantart :) Just from personal experience and talking to other artists, a typical drawing might start off on paper with either a regular or a red pencil. You then would scan it in to your computer, save it as a jpeg and open it up in Photoshop or some type of art program like Corel Painter, like I have. If you're in Photoshop, you can get rid of the red and keep more definite lines. In Corel, you can't do that, so you'd just have draw in pencil. In Photoshop you can use various textures and layers, although the easiest way is to paintbucket-it and use the "paintbrush" to high;oght things and add depth. Thankfully, there are also a lot of tutorials on how to do that :) Some people also use watercolors or acrylics and just edit them if the pictures are under the "traditional" category, and others just start drawing on the computer. Either way is good. Have fun!
