- Oil Brush (For: Painters)
- Aquarelle Brush (For: Painters)
- Crayon (For: Crayon Artists)
- Pencil (For: Traditional Drawing)
- Markers (For: Artists who use markers)
- Ink (For. Ink-artists)
- Photoshop (For: Artists who use Photoshop)
- Illustrator (For: Artists who use Illustrator)
- Flash (For: Artists who use Flash)
- Dreamweaver (For: webdesigners who use Dreamweaver)
Others?
Perhaps also icons for the categories:
