oh ok, you work well with them, I have never tried them before, guess the pencils are a comfort zone, haha. I remember licking the pencils and then drawing with them, haha, a bit gross but my tongue was multi coloured

I know I have no art of my own on here, but hopefully I'll have something up soon, I'm a little scared, seeing everyones beautiful art that I envy sometimes.

But once again your work is wonderful and I love the detail

I like hand-painted before 2008, and later converted into digitized. The later works were produced by computer. You are high school or college students?
In addition to paint with watercolor I like to use the pen. Diameter is about 0.05.

I've never really been interested in digital painting, I always thought traditional is my strong point and it means more to me, but since I've been looking on deviant art I've been loving digital, the colours are intense. So I've tried one or two pics in digital and it's not too bad, definatly have to get use to it.

I'm working at the moment, finished college at Design School Southern Africa in 2008, I draw in my free time.

The pen you're talking about, is it a pen for the outlines? I love thin pens, the thinner the better, right? haha.

Where did you study, or did you study? I don't remember what your profile said. But you do have a big imagination which I always admire, some of your drawings remind me of Howels Moving Castle

I love his animations! But I've only seen Spirited Away and Howels moving Castle, the rest I cant find for rent and they're so expensive to buy. I want to watch his new one PONYO I think it's called? With the goldfish and girl.

My inspiration comes from religion and the hippie era, I'm obsessed with the 60's.

The German pens that you like to use, is it Faber Castle? I only like the Fabre Castle griphite sets, and there HB-B9 pencils, Derwent is my favourite watercolour pencil, maybe it's because I've had the same set of 72 for 6yrs, haha. I love gouache paints, I'm not a fan of oil painting, it frustrates me.

Have you used Copic Markers? It's one medium I really want to try out, but yet again they are over priced here

What else inspires you?

I always download his animations because his animation is not issue in China.I do not know what Copic Markers,Is a kind of stationery?I usually buy imported stuff, not pay attention to the brand, because I do not understand those words.

Hey there,

Sorry for late reply...

Copic Markers is like a koki that doesn't bleed and it has two sides, a thick and thin one. A lot of anime and manga artists use it.

It's all good, you use your mediums well
