[scream aim fire]

yesss.

so hopefully this auction+the ouran one will be enough for me to get them~

[Kumiko_Neko]

Well you're a great artist, so you'll get it I'm sure ^^

[scream aim fire]

haha; thank you. XP

+you're a great artist too! : D

[Kumiko_Neko]

Apparently not though. I had one person PM me saying the prices in my shop were too high for the quality, and I've already bumped myself to page 4 lol! ^^

[scream aim fire]

D:

I think.

Maybe you should ink the pencil lines?
I dunno.
I think the prices are accurate.
But most people don't go for pencil art.

Color is always best. : )

[Kumiko_Neko]

Well I'm horrible with photoshop, I just got it new n about a week or two ago, so I don't know a thing on that yet really, plus I'm bad with the shading.

As for inking. The only inking of any sort that I know, is just taking one of those roller pens and going over it, and it still looks crappy with that.

[scream aim fire]

I have prismacolor inking pens, and Copics for coloring.

But even crayola colored pencils can look good if you use them right. : )

And sometimes just flat colors will look great.

[Kumiko_Neko]

Lol, those help.

I'll see about trying to save some money for pencils or some other coloring media. I have tons of pastels I know that....

yeah...I'm gonna go experiment with those!

[scream aim fire]

yayy~

: D

I have a set of prisma pencils.
but I never touch them anymore. XP
not since I got my Copics~

[Kumiko_Neko]

If I may ask, where and how much can one find Copics?

[Kumiko_Neko]

I'm just curious because you aren't the 1st person to mention using those and having really good coloring work.

[scream aim fire]

Well, you can buy singular markers from art stores.

I buy my sets off of eBay, for about $300. Retail price is $428.

And individual markers are $5-6, depending on where you buy them. : )

: D

[Kumiko_Neko]

eek What?!

crying Oh man! I don't have that kind of money sweatdrop I can barely afford lunch at school lol...oh well.

*continues trying her oil pastels*

I usually use these for my really big serious art works, well at least until until I started attending a school that had a horrible art class system. They don't teach anything in that class.

[scream aim fire]

D:

I get my parents to buy them for me. XP

I've never taken an art class at school. : (
Because I'm in orchestra. So I have like, no more electives.

[Kumiko_Neko]

Lol. I've always made time for art and chorus for me. And lucky! My parents refuse to even buy me sketch pads! They don't approve of me drawing so much, so I have to hide all of my drawings and tear them out of school notebooks for when they do their sudden searches. They say I shouldn't waste time on such trivial things and concentrate more on working on what I want to be in the future.
