So, I've been keeping myself pretty busy the past few days. A lot of new stuff has been going on. One, I got a hair cut, which I'll probably post a picture of sooner or later. Two, I'm getting stoked for spring by wearing dresses and skirts and being completely okay with how I look in them. Along with that, I've stopped wearing most make up, and my hair cut is short so I don't have to do much with it. And, this summer, I'm wearing a bikini. Not boy shorts. A bikini.
Hey, who wants to buy me these?
If you loved me you would.
Anyway, also new, I'm inking and coloring some of my work. I'm trying to find styles I like. I've been using a lot of colored pencil (crayola/prismacolor) and while I'm doing better than I thought, I still find them lacking something. I'm considering switching to prismacolor markers. Or maybe copics. What do you think?

I definitely like the inking. I'll admit, I've been doing a lot of tracing but I don't really consider it cheating as much as I used to. I need a light box. I'm still debating about which markers to try. I've been doing a lot of homework on it and watching soo many tutorials and they're just amazing. Everything instantly comes to life in such a professional way.

I can't stop thinking about CCS. Vermont why are you so far awayyy?

    Hey, I just wanted to mention that prismacolor markers are so great. I have been using them for 2 years now.

    I have the blueprints to build a lap light box, that doesn't make your lap hot. Can also be set on a table. Cheap too. I'll let you know how it turns out after I build it.

    BTW, good stuff *yawns* lol

  2. Thanks for the advice about the markers. I want them so bad, but damn are they expensive.
    If you build that light box let me know how it turns out, I'm really interested. :]
    It means a lot to me that you actually read this and gave me some advice. But whats that yawn for? Just because you got to go to a fancy schmancy art school already? :P
