Well, that's how siblings are. So its okay.

Not all siblings -- not to this extent lol

It depends, I guess. xD

Lol yeah :3

Wow! Emma, that's looking beautiful! I'm surprised I didn't recognize it at as charcoal earlier. xD

I definitely draw guidelines before I draw...just to plan out the piece. 8D I rarely finish a piece in one sitting, so it serves as a reminder of what I was going to do.

Thank you :)

Hahaha -- hai hai!
It was charcoal in the example I showed you <3
The color was pastels though ;)
Do you have any preference for the color combination for the background?

Haha I rarely finish mine in one sitting either -- but I sometimes do -- depends on when I start it :3
I'm almost done with your piece, btw :)
Should have it done by tomorrow :3

No preference. ^^ I don't want to hinder what you may have in mind! <3

I can't wait to see it. *o*

Once I'm a little more awake, I'll go back to working on yours. ^^;; It was a long night at work for me...

Haha <3
I don't have anything in mind at the moment -- so if you have any combo ideas -- feel free to shoot them ^_~
If you don't have anything, I'll figure it out when the time comes :3
That's what I did with the example I showed you lol
I stared at my pastels until it clicked :3

Hehe - I'm so glad you're excited <3
It makes me happy 'cause I'm really hating on the piece xD <3

That's okies! <3
No rush <3

Aww :(
-gives you a eating pad for your back/neck and a foot soaker thingy-
I hate long nights at work :(

ToriKat: Update! :D

Annana~ I call it furry lines because the sketchy lines are so short until it becomes furry. XD

Emma~ I dislike erasing guidelines also... but I found out that with those guidelines, I do better proportion than not doing it. I just bought charcoal today~ <3 along with masking fluid... now trying to search for use brush for the fluid.

Haha It didn't make a difference for m~

Masking fluid?
What's that?

ToriKat:
In case you already saw the other one, I'm going to ping the new update xD;

Some tool to use when you need to preserve the paper's white.

*spazzes over the updates* <3

I think I've heard of masking fluid. *ponders* Can't wait till I can walk around art stores again. *o*

I love going top artstore and try out new things and look at branded art stuff. x.x

I wish I could afford more stuff. T^T

I am still hoping the art store which I am a member will start to stock COPIC~

Oh gosh...how I love Copic markers. *_* They stock them here...but they're just very expensive. T_T

As far as I know, there is only 2 shop in my country that stock Copic. DX

There is one shop near Pyramid, right behind the One Academy which stocks them as well as Prisma Markers. :P

that Vision Art?
I have been to there once, and I cannot find parking place, and nearly get lost to get back to LDP.

The ones I know is Art Friend and Kinokuniya. But they each don't have one copic type. ciao, sketch, copic.

If you want to go there, you've to be there before 10am, otherwise you have to go inside Pyramid to park. And the LDP's not really difficult to find. o.o

Both those places sell them really expensive, though. That's one of my problems. :/

I can see where is the LDP... but lol. I don't know which lane is the correct Uturn. XD signboard is not helpful. Last time when I was there, a friend was with me, and yet we still miss the 1st Uturn. that is how bad my sense of direction is.

Yay! <3





And did I see talk of prisma markers?
I hated them -- they ran out of ink soooooooo fast~
I only had black and sepia -- but I don't know if I'd buy color after my experience with those :(

I'm not a fan of Prismacolor markers...The smell kills me. xD I looooove Copic Sketch markers. *o* Just so expensive...T^T

I wasn't able to try Copic :(
I take it they're better though?
Do they last a long while?
I'll have to see about getting them :3
My college book store sells them, I believe :3

The Copic Sketch pens have a brush end that I adoooore. <3 They're also refillable, but you have to order it online, I believe.
