Does anyone else cycle through mediums? I've found that I'll obsess over a type of pen or pencil then find something else and draw exclusively with that for a few weeks or months until I find the next great thing. I've only been drawing for a year so I wonder how long this lasts. What have you gone through?

So far as far back as I remember it's been microns, uniball air, noodler's ahab flex pen, pentel pocket brush, .9 mm mechanical pencil with 2b lead, noodler's charlie with saguaro wine ink, pentel energel, gelly rolls, kuretake no. 8, and now a 2mm lead holder with 4b lead.

In my primary school art teachers were mostly local artists. I remember us nagging to parents to buy best watercolors best inks best papers best everything...
At beginning of each class a teacher himself would do a demo piece of what we were suppose to do, by taking paper and other supplies from one pupil.. That lucky someone would get to keep the finished piece.
The interesting thing to me was that he always choose someone with shittiest quality medium available, create something great with it, and at the end would say that no excuses "muh paint and my paper is no good" will be accepted.
Once you can draw well and make something reasonably nice, you will stop caring about the tools so much.
If you are technical, however, if your education is some kind of engineering, then you will keep obsessing like that probably forever.

I full on swap from mediums to do something completely different.
I haven't done plastic arts in a long time, but I want to get back into drawing. I'ms sure I'd get laughed on the board but I've been doing mini painting and toy custom work for a long time. Got bored tried models.
Got bored with that, moved on to more craftsman style stuff recently like jewelry and leatherwork.
