I use GIMP for photo editing, Inkscape for Vector drawing, and pureref for image references.

Pen and paper, both for writing and for sketching. I also use some watercolors tubes and a couple brushes.

That said, I’m just an amateur so I may not qualify as an artist ;)

I mostly live in krita, but lately I switched to proprietary binaries (pencils, pens and markers) which are compiled (produced) in a cloud (in China). File format (paper) is proprietary too, it’s custom structure (wood) heavily obfuscated (cold-pressed) and paid only (I buy it in a store nearby)

Procreate when I’m making something I want to print/share.

Conte on newsprint when I have access to an easel. Sometimes straight charcoal and eraser, so satisfying, but messy.

Charcoal pencil on paper when I’m at my desk practicing figure, gesture, form and value.

Pen & paper, ink on paper and oil on paper.

I do some aquarelle sometimes too, classic or with colored inks.

Pokemon Art Academy and Colors!3D on my 3DS.

Otherwise for windows an older version of MSPaint, Clip Studio, and Procreate.

krita and aseprite. i havent done pixel art in a while though

The Affinity Suite and Pixelmator Pro on MacOS.

Been pretty lazy all-round about properly learning Photoshop, bounced off of GIMP once before, but no looking back with 3.0 out! It’s GIMP all the way for me now.
