laten we het houden een reden dat zeker niet rechtvaardig was en heel gemeen.
Maar goed, alleen de eigenares zat te zeuren, de rest kan ik nog steeds heel goed mee opschieten (ik krijg altijd korting aan de kassa )

De maatschappij van tegenwoordig..Oh, dat is toch niet zo'n erge probleem (except for the owner maar dat is niet zo erg). Korting? Unfair but lucky!

I also use a mirror. I have one at my desk I use all the time - I can see flaws in my work much easier when viewed through a mirror.

This was so helpful. Thanks for sharing!

Oderaa In reply to Cataclysm-X [2008-06-27 23:48:11 +0000 UTC]

I just wanted to say that you are such a hard worker!!! And I also wanted to say, what I told my sis, that you don't have to do these tutorials and your actions show how NOT stuck up you are!! I have come across my share of "high and mighty" people here on DA, and of course there is no need to be that way, but you are one of the nicest people here. I just thought I should say that. Most of the things you do, whether drawing, writing a journal or putting up more "how to's", shows how much you value the people that support your artwork. Thank you for responding to my comments. It takes time and effort to do so, so again, thank you my friend!!!!

ChadVision [2008-06-27 11:07:57 +0000 UTC]

damn thats a lot of materials, all I've been using is a HB2 pencil, a regular mechanical pencil, an eraser, a Q-tip, a tissue, and printing. Thanks for the tutorial, know I know what the proper tools are.

Oh I've never tried a cactus as an eraser before
*sigh*
I can't find any art supply shops around my area but I've got a kneaded eraser and up to 8B pencil at least. Where did you find a 9B?
Anyway, you've inspired me to keep trying (with all your kind words in journals and stuff like this lol)
So here's a big hug for ya'

I have most of the pencils, but I should get some mechanical ones... Shame on me! I use my fingers to blend D: I shall get myself a good tortillion and blendign stick nao.

Thanks for the tutorial, it's really helpful! And I'm eager to see your artbook! I'm sure it will be awsome!

Very helpful! Just one question though. How can I get my hands on different types of 0.5mm leads? I can only find the usual HB 0.5mm. It makes me very sad.

Talei [2008-06-26 17:13:14 +0000 UTC]

Sweeeet. I make my tortiallians, in all shapes and sizes with different paper. I can't believe how much buying one of those things costs. o.o
Nice one Interesting. Though I think you should have said what weight/gsm those paper pads where because presumably, not everywhere has those brands.

thanks, your drawings are fantastic. for other tools, you should have put the human hand, nothing is a more worse or great tool. it can't make a straight line but it can do 100s of other stuff, and it comes in handy to have one when drawing
