How many people here actually draw their own Manga and stuff?
  Yup, all the time - I kick a** ^_^
  Well, "draw" is a strong word... perhaps, "attempt feebly"?
  Whenever I'm bored.
  Nope, I like it + read it lots, but don't do any miself.
  Hrmm, never tried... I want to, though...
  At the risk of standing out, I actually think it's kinda over-rated >.<

So, here's me, the reasonably able pencil Artist desperate to advance into the full glory of colour.. only to realise I suck at painting and Manga is practically unheard of in this generally boring country (England sweatdrop ).

As a result, when I go looking for Copic Markers (the staple of Manga Artists, Made of course in Japan) to start drawing with, I find myself in a very troubling situation... the ratsy things are going for £5 each!!! sad
How is a Student suppost to be able to afford that?

I was hoping, somehow, someone could go onto the Japanese version of ebay and alter the language to English so that I can find them cheaper there and launch my amateur Art career... sweatdrop

lawl, I have about 100 copics, I adore them to death, they are my favorite medium!

I live in the US, but I got a set A for about $300. C h e a p .
I got it from here: http://www.howtodrawmanga.com/supplies/htcopic.html

Weird, site... but, it took like a week to send it when it said 2 days. But it came from the supply store in Japan. I suggest saving up a lot of money and get one whole set, 'cause then you'll end up with doubles like me.

For skin, you should stock up on the color E00 (refills) because your probably gonna use it A LOT. THey also have E000now, which is a lighter color that I want so badly. j-j

Any more info., just pm me~! *o*
