Awww, you're too nice!
Just because I made a nice tutorial though, doesn't mean you shouldn't! It's awesome seeing the same concept from different points of view.

ah use promarkers...1. because there cheaper 2. you cant really get copics in england
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, I agree, they are cheaper! Although I also believe that ProMarkers are made in England so it works out great for you!!
Shipping ProMarkers to my home is about as much as buying COPICs and I love the fact that COPIC markers are refillable so it becomes quite worthwhile for me. xD

Great tutorial! I agree with a lot of the material recommendations. I think the hand sanitizer is a good idea. I get my hands get dirty easily. The ruler idea is good too. I always bring plastic rulers for school and they break in two days XD

I'm glad you find it helpful to you!
Hand sanitizer is magic in a bottle!
Yeah, breaking in two days sucks. I know there's also these 1$ rulers in thin floppy like plastic. They don't break, they bend and get crappy. Those are okay too now that I think about it LOL. I always bent mine in two days though

My school's obsessed with Hand Sanitizer. I see it in very classroom. I always use it. It makes my hands fresh and clean
1$ school supplies never does miracles for me. I got some mechanical pencils once and the erasers were already dry. I hate hard, dry erasers too. Some pink erasers have a weird pink tint to them. That's why I always use white erasers in art.

Yeah I know, I have hand sanitizer everywhere now!
1$ stuff never did anything good for me too. Erasers and pencils either snapped in half or dried out into a fine power. The rulers though were from an office supply store, they're all wobbly lol. I actually liked it enough.
I always use Staedtler erasers now though LOL.

Sometimes, Dollar Stores bring miracles, but not usually. I love making fun of those Engrish toys they there XD

here's a tip to keep your ruler from getting stained with ink or marker: scotch tape about 4 NICKELS (or washers) to the bottom of the ruler. This will cause the ruler to be lifted off the paper a bit, and keeps the ruler and paper from smudging when you go to move the ruler.

Yeah, my stainless steel ruler has a cork pad underneath it so it was lifted up, and I would do something like that, but I enjoy the transparency of my acrylic ruler. I will be sure to mention that maybe in my comments though if you don't mind, it's a pretty handy tip

No problem at all! I actually got the idea just last week from my Drawing Prof. If you do include it, wherever it may go, thanks! 8D

Hokay. The tutorial itself is pretty good, but the font is TERRIBLE, and really hard to read.
TT_TT
Sorry, but you should choose a better flowing typeface for easy reading, not one that 'looks pretty'
All the swirls and pink outlines do nothing if the reader has a terribly hard time trying to read what you're trying to say.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thanks for that!
I actually hardly noticed that until you pointed it out.
I picked out a better font that is more type face than swirly like. I think this one might be a bit better.

yay!
That is /much/ better. ^_^
Easy reading, yaaay~
