Welcome to Gaia! ::

I get highly irritable if left without my preferred brands/types of paper for a prolonged period of time ._. Last year I was feeling adventurous and bought a pad I'd never tried before: I've used maybe five pages total in that year.
PAPER SNOB D:

I also have brands of art supplies that I prefer to buy. When it comes to sketchbooks, I try and find the sketchbook that has kinda thick pages. I HATE the cheapy sketchbooks with the computer paper feeling. They smudge like crazy, tear, and more easily >.>, but when it comes to pencils, I prefer to use a cheap mechanical pencil, but still have good regular pencils on hand that have a good eraser. If it's a really bad eraser, I won't buy it. But I'll usually get a big eraser just in case. When I buy colored pencils and stuff, I usually get the Crayola brand. I usually get the cheap brand, but get the one with LOTS of colored pencils 8D.

But I like to have the art materials that I'm used to, and the brands that I like. If I get an off brand, I get really pissed off, and probably won't use it. Unless it's better than the brand that I normally get. Oh, and I also hate other people's materials. I don't know where they have been. And I don't like many people using my art supplies. I'm a rather picky person '^-^

im not ppicky about brands of paper just there texture and thickness and sutch. I got one frow wallmart and it works perfectly xD
Pencil's i dont REALLY care about but id prefer mechanical pencils and soft lead pencil, and i might start using charcole o_o
it just depends biggrin

I tend to go both. I usually don't like spending too much money on paper since I can be prone to wasting a lot of it with pointless doodling so I get cheap pads of paper from Wal-Mart for the most part.

However, I do like getting better quality pencils for my art supplies. Whether it's for drawing pencils or colored pencils, these utensils seem to be what I look for in possessing better quality than my other supplies.
