So yesterday Kira and I went to our favorite art supply store (thank you jadeangelwings) Blicks. She got new water color paints and I got myself some new trace markers for after I pencil sketch and a new sketchpad with heavyweight paper (I heart heavyweight paper bc the markers I use won't bleed through as much). I was testing the markers with my current avi and here's what I got.

later I'll color it to make sure the markers won't bleed through. But I love getting good quality art supplies!

I love getting new stuff. If I could, I might pick up some art supplies but I find that I do better with my tablet. If I make a mistake I can quickly and efficiently remove it, whereas with traditional media it takes forever to correct a mistake and you can usually tell you made one. :/

D; But I love art supplies omg. I have a bunch of art supplies (I just never use em... argh lol).

I love new clothes. :> That counts as getting new stuffs. I just feel all snazzy.

On the topic of art I think I'm going to be a concept artist/storyboard artist... so I am starting to practice with less people and more backgrounds and details. *nods*

:> I got this hair for my avi (finally) and I also got the hidden ace item...

D; Hmmm. My favorite stores? Hmmm. D; I'm not sure. I dun get out much now a days... :< One day I will find an awesome store and never leave it. :3

I really like that picture you drew. I can't wait to see the finished product!

yeah, I've been doing more backgrounds lately. It gives the pic a lot more.

Besides Blicks, I really like Best Buy, FYE and gamestop. I've been getting Bluray movies lately so I've been to these places a lot. Plus I got my Battlefield Bad Company 2.

Target. Omg. I love that the store is red and white. :> And they have such cute kitchenware. Costco can be cool too, and Best Buy. > _ > I really want to go to Walmart but my family hates that store for some reason... dunno why.

could be how they treat their employees. But sometimes the prices are good. Just depends on what you're looking for. and yeah Target is cool

haven't bought real art supplies in forever x: mostly because i pretty much gave up on drawing other than random doodles. i just got a new tablet yesterday though ^.^ as an incredibly early birthday present (srsly, my birthday ain't 'til July), partly because it was on sale, partly because my dad had a points card that needed using (and it's only usable at Future Shop and a couple other weird select stores), and partly because my old tablet is at least a decade old and uses a serial port and therefore unusable on my laptop. it's one of those new Wacom Bamboo ones, and i'm super happy with it (i finally finished a colouring job i started a while ago!)

love the new hats -w- i've only bought one so far though; trying to save up for a Kottan Bell Reunion.

favourite stores...? Chapters, Indigo, that whole shindig (it's a Canadian bookstore franchise, for those who don't know). also, any half-decent anime store i set foot in because the only place in town that sells anime merch anymore has barely anything >.< mostly caters to the comic and tabletop RPG crowds. how much time a normal fashion-obsessed girl would spend in a trendy boutique is what i tend to spend in an anime store with a lot of variety in merchandise XP since i only ever seem to find these stores while on trips with my family, they tend to get annoyed with me because i simply can't choose what i want to buy.

that's cool. new tablet must be awesome! I'm going to get one... eventually. My current one does a good job so I'm good. And yeah anime stores are hard to come by or they don't normally last long

yeah :/ there was a dedicated anime store that opened up in town several years ago. i never set foot in it, but apparently stock wasn't terribly great since it had just opened up. the girl who opened it up must not have planned things out very well, because it closed down a month or two after opening (maybe half a year, but i know it didn't last long at all). it seems dedicated anime stores only really last in large cities with big populations, since even the small percentage of fans is much larger than smaller cities <.<
