*random*

I finally got a pencil sharpner so I can start using my prismas...and today went and bought some bristol paper and a micron pen XD! Oh and random...does anyone know where one can purchase derwent pencils at a decent price. The local arts and crafts store kinda sucked selection wise.

and see thats what I have wondered, Ive just seen so many people get amazing results with derwent pencils O_O. But I have prisma's and Ive only had experience with prismas. They are truly amazing pencils, I used to draw on black paper with them and the color always came out brilliant and bold. I can't wait to play with meh pencils, see what new ideas I can come up with! Id like to, though, find a decent set of watercolor and pastel pencils....I'd think those would be much fun to play with!

Thank you, btw, simply for this comment! Oddly enough, it has made my evening! I'm glad to know you like my work, it always makes me feel warm and fuzzy on the inside knowing people do like what I create. Im always so hard on myself, critiquing a picture to pieces and usually never being happy with anything I produce...such is the life of an artist I s'pose ;).

BTW in the icon, who did that pic?? Ive seen the one daisy and a few others have done for you..but I don't recognize that one I don't think.

Yeah, I know. I've seen people get amazing results with them too....though, the pictures I've seen aren't that "thick" or "solid"-looking, mostly.

It's not wise to mix prismas and derwents, from what I've learned. Tried it once and the derwents turned powdery. o_o; (Then again, I probably just don't know how to use them correctly)



You're welcome. ^^ I'm always amazed at how fast you're able to turn out things like this. Go to your DA page thinking "she just posted, no way she's got anything new up" and there you go posting something new. It's mind boggling how you work so fast and still add such detail.


Oh and the icon was done by [livejournal.com profile] basketi. She was offering icon commissions a while back. :3
