🌿🍃🌱 forest finds 🌱🍃🌿 It's been sooo long since I've drawn anything but it feels good to get back at it after my low-key month long anxiety attack . . . . . #MYNECKMYBACKMYANXIETYATTACK #artistoninstagram #notebook #forest #doodle #artbyme #micronpen #pentelbrushpen #sketch #myart #anxiety

I’ll use anything from ‘dollar store crap’ to ‘omg why are you so expensive’. 

The first sketch books are from a dollar store & they’re just the bees knees. Copics definitely bleed through the paper but I just keep a scrap piece under it IF I do use them. This sketch book is great for drawing garbage in and not feeling ‘guilty’ that you ‘messed up’ some expensive fancy pants paper.

The second is this Strathmore Mixed Media. It’s my fav. I like that it’s smaller so I can travel and stuffs with it but it’s also a hearty lil dude and won’t freak out when I abuse watercolors on it. It’s what I’ve been doing this years inktobers on! (in the 3rd pic you can see a black cover version of it because I hated the yellow and painted over that shit so all my books look.. cohesive? because aesthetics? mmmk)

The third is Canson Watercolor paper (mines smaller 7inx10in but I couldnt find it). I only use this for watercolors. The pages are perforated so it’s easy to rip out and stuffs

Whenever I’ve gotten sketch books more expensive than like $20? I won’t even use it. Same with any art supplies really. I got this free pack of paint brushes with one of my sketch books and I’ve been using them ever since (plus I’m very cruel to my paint brushes and forget them in water glasses over night ;-; whhhhy)

I really like Micron pens right now for inking and they’re like $4 each at my local art supply store so I buy them in bulk from amazon & that helps a bit

I’ve been using these Reeves watercolors  that I got with a 50% off coupon at Michaels (NO THANK YOU FULL PRICE ANYTHING) but I wouldn’t recommend them since I don’t have much to compare them too idk

tldr: i'll use anything for art supplies because I’m cheap & have no money so use whatever makes you happiest :D

Hi there!

I was very young & I don’t really remember when I started. I had so many family members that were artistically inclined & they were always very supportive of anything like that. But I didn’t really start taking it seriously until long after graduating high school.

Thank you for the ask!!

This Inktober I want to work on improving my background skills, composition, & values (in terms of how you use lights and darks for contrast) & on this page specifically I had a real challenge with the values but I think it worked out in the end :D

Hello! I saw an illustration that I believe is yours? I LOVED it, and I think the watermark was you. I have to say, I am totally in love with your art. Do you know if you ever drew a beautiful young lady with pastel blue hair, a light grey sweatshirt, a soft black and subtle fishnets? I just wanted to know because someone on Instagram called @iloveyoutothemoon100 is claiming this piece as her own and cropped out your image. I know this wasn't really a question, but wanted to notify you if yours!

Hi there! Thank you so much! I’m so glad you were able to find me & I really appreciate you telling me that :D You’re super sweet & kind!! <333

Unfortunately their account seems to be private at the moment, however your description sounds like this piece here!!! 

It’s an old commission from March 2014, soooo not only did this person steal & edit my work but they stole something that another person paid for. This is always super disappointing when someone has such little respect for others.

I hope if they see this, that they have it in them to do the right thing. Take responsibility, apologize and be better ya know?
