Description
PLEASE NOTE: I will NOT answer questions asking me what stores/online stores to buy art supplies from. As I've stated hundereds of times over, I live in New Zealand. NOT America, England, what-ever-land ect - and thus I'd have no clue. My art supplies I either buy in New Zealand, Hong Kong when I visit, or my friends overseas send them to me.Besides, there's a program called google if you want to find an online art store. Because I don't buy stuff online, I wouldn't have a clue where you could look. sorry.
Anyhow, message aside, I'm taking a page out of the books and making one of these like *Marit and *Wennichelle but darn...I use so much different stuff, I had to make this tutorial in two-parts. The one with markers and pencils will come sometime in the future (but may be a long time yet with the stuff I've got to do).
Hope this helps a little, in any case.

WHOAH I didn't know that other people used Canson sketchbooks and Faber Castell! :'D Though I generally use Sharpie Pens for inking, since I make my lines WAY THICK. Not on purpose, of course. XD

Thanks for this, I've been looking for a good paper which can hold markers. All of my papers can't, they bleed so horribly ;_;

We stock WHSmith as a brand at Whitcoulls - I can look it up on the system to see if we stock the WHS sketch paper or if it can be ordered in for you - if my branch can do it then so can the one closest to you.

Nice...the saying is true, "an artist is only as good as his tools." I use Rose Art colored pencils because they're all I have, but now I see it's time to hit the craft store C:

I live in the UK so its easy to get WHS paper.. They had a sale on at Christmas, 50 Sheets sketch paper (£2) buy one, get one free...SO MUCH SKETCHS ! (No Scanner.. T_T).
Copics are hard to get though..

Wow!
I'm a big fan of your art! You are just so good at colouring in the pictures! So smooth, so clear! I wish I can draw that good!
Oh by the way, I use a normal black ink pen (refillable, with ink in bottle) XD, I dunno whether I will work as good as you pens - though I still love it :3 (I've already used it for more than 6 years!)!

wow
i love your work
now i know what to use XD(i love your Tokyo mew mew chibi's)

WH Smith paper is the ultimate! I prefer to use that over most others. This is a nice insight though n_n

At first, I thought you live in HK, I'm using Uni inking pens too! XDXD (i live in HK)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, you can get them in both HK and New Zealand. Funnily enough, I go to Hk a fair bit (usually during christmas) as my parents live over there. X3

I can't believe we share much common material here like inking pens, copic sketch marker and your pencil. They're identical except from my mechanic pencil is orange which is also beautiful >w<
Ahhh, although we use same stuff but the art is like millions of levels apart TTwTT
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
AAAAAAAAAAGH I WANT THOSE STUFF!! do you think using normal wet ball pen is okay??
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Neat! I use farber castel for outlines too! The rest of that... not so much. I've basically got those, random craoyla and prang colored pencils, and the cheapo pro art sketch pad.

WHSmith Paper reliable cheep yet soooooo GOOD XD Shame i dont do drawing as much as i use to sort of stuck with playing on adobe and graffiti work

What programe did you use to create this?Just Curious...

I just took photos and slapped them together with PSE3.

Ah, WH Smith paper. So reliable and cheap.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I'll have to look for those brands....but either than that...your Xigbar picture is too cute! T_T I can't even draw him...and I wish I could.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Nice! I'll hafta keep those in mind...
Yeah, Reeves is incredibly cheap. My mom bought me Reeve's Water Color pencils and I was a lil shakey at first, but they turned out to actually be better then my Prismas.
You told me once that one of your marker brands stayed wet longer then others, and so it was easier to blend with. Which was that again?
I'll hafta google some of this stuff later when I get some money. xD

man, even with the info. it still looks like magic!

I always wondered what kinda tools you use. heh. I cant wait till part two, I need help with my traditional art bad XD.
Plus I always end up buying the cheap bad kind of markers and paper XDD. Awesome job on the tutorial, so excited~!!

You should do a tutorial on how tp use these media's, that would be awsome.
BTW good tutorial. It's nice to find someone who lives in NZ and uses media that I can get my greedy hands on.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
Nah. The best way for people to learn is to experiment with the media themselves and find out how to use it in a way that works with theis style - not to copy my ways and make everything look exactly the same and stale. 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I do have to agree with that...
Anyway thanks for the media tutorial!
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
Uhhhh, I ment to say you should do a tutorial on how to use them, not how to tp them....

Wow! Thankyou for sharing, I admire your skill ^__^

Hey, you use the cool paints as well ^_^ they're awesome...though I haven't got anything else to compare them with so...>.>

thanx for the media tips!!! im gonna go get that whs paper now! i stayed away from it cos it was kinda expensive T_T. umm i can get hold of most of this stuff (i have some) but the white gel pens seem hard to get..... can u use any brand?
ps the ziggy pic in this looks great ^_^

Oh my gosh, thank you! I need this! ^_^ Now then...gotta find a website that sells them Hybrids >.>

i love this tutorial!

I have/use a Canson Sketch book too, and goodness, do I love it! <3 And I like printer paper, of course. I have two Micron pens, but I use a regular 0.7 line Sharpie for thick outlines.
I wanna use a Mitubishi Uni pen sometime. But I dunno if they're sold anywhere in the US...
Haha, how weird to rant over sketching media... XD

score! XD Kai made a material sheet! i love things like this, they're so fun to look at.
i should probably look at getting some of the copic multiliners... my sakuras are all dead and my staedtler's aren't doing it for me anymore. :/ but oh! i love the hybrid gel pen. xD that thing rocks. sakura makes a good gel pen too.
this is definately super informative. : D looking forward to the next one! ^^
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
You cannot believe how helpful that was. ^^ I always love it when artists go into detail about their tools. Can't wait until the next one.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
awsome! i just wonder how you get such a nice solid color from the copic pens... mine never give me it
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
uber!informative. :3 I might have to steal this too, just to answer all those media questions once and for all! @_@ I've got that exact same Canson sketchbook, the paper is love, especially for cool Copic marker effects. <3

Wow this is really informative. I'm almost tempted to take some christmas money and do a little shopping for things
