Will scrap this later. But...I always wanted to do one of these 'what stuff I use' kind of things like you see floating around in other people's galleries. Oh yes, i would jump off a bridge if everyone else did. Um..

ANYWAYZ.

Pic 1! Paper
1: I just got this paper recently, and it's verrry nice. Pencils go on it smooth, it erases smooth like buttah and inking on it is sooo smooth, and markers work great on it. In summary, it's smooth. I recommend it. Tis called 'Borden & Riley Bleedproof paper for pens.'
2. Vellum Bristol. What I usually use. It's very versistal (sp?). Marker, watercolor, pastel, all that works on it cuz it's thick n' durable.
3. my crummy old clipboard, it's got marker stains all over it and is broken on the top. I need a new one XD It's my 'workstation'.
4. Watercolor paper. I don't use it that much. I also have some pastel paper that I got recently.

Pic 2! Inking and finishing stuff
1. White gel pens, for highlighting n' stuff
2. Mechnical pencil, for drawing
3. fine and thick colored sharpies for doing colored outlines
4. Zig Millenium pens for inking. In sizes 01, 05 and 08. They're greeeeat. Waterproof and don't smudge n' stuff. Good show.
5. Microns, pretty much the same as the millenium pens. I like the millenium better though, they seem to roll over the paper smoother. Colored microns/zigs are good for outlining eyes. Then the color of the eye really pops. (yay)
6. staedtler mars plastic eraser. I love this kind, it works good.
7. staedtler graphic 3000 duo pen. This pen is neat; it has a brush-like tip on one end. it's fun to draw with, though it dosen't seem to be waterproof :/
8. don't use this much; just a silver sharpie
9. prismacolor clear blender. I use this with colored pencils sometimes. Just recently started using it with markers after reading a tutorial on marker coloring. dosen't get much use though.
10. gold prismacolor pen. Also don't use this much...it's cool though XD

Pic 3! Markers!
I use markers the most for coloring. Cuz they're fun!
1. Various markers. Crayolas and a few different random brands. I have 2 copics but they're too expensive for me to buy more. (Plus they seem to be overrated to me O.o) Also have some cheap gel markers; the red one is really good for doing blood splotchy effects. The big black marker is good for doing big black areas.
2. Chartpak AD markers. I like these alot. They blend pretty good and make a unique effect. They SMELL BAD though. You get used to the smell though heh. They bleed a bit, but you get used to that too. XD
3. Prismacolor markers. Yeah, the good ole prismas. Prismas and Chartpaks are my friends. XD

Pic 4! Watercolors
Yeah, pretty self explanatory

Pic 5! Stuff I don't use much XD
1. chalk pastels. They're fun, but messy, and sometimes I just end up ruining a pic when I use them XD
3. colored pencils. I used to color solely with colored pencils, but then markers and/or watercolors took over.

Stuff not shown: Computer for digital coloring XD (Corel Photopaint 10)
digital camera for taking pics for pose references.
And those are my tools, baby.

WHEEEE WASN'T THAT FUN AND INTERESTING?
