18 May 2025 - Daily Drawing Day 138 #20252025Challenge My curtain lets in a lot of light in the morning, so I bought an eye mask from Kenji when I was at the Merry Hill Centre. Anyone sneaking into my room will surely be baffled by the suspicious chicken eyes staring at them. #sleep #eyemask #kenji #asleep #寝る #アイマスク #ケンジ #睡眠 #mask #sleepingmask #sleepmask #eyes #sus #suspicious #マスク #面 #👀 #目 #怪しい #疑いの目 #疑い #notsponsored Watch the time lapse video of this drawing on YouTube Shorts: https://youtube.com/shorts/Iwfq8yxbkyA Watch the time lapse video of this drawing on TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@darlosworld/video/7505865397149764865 See the latest at https://darlosworld.bsky.social The 2025 20-25 Challenge.

What’s inside my pencil case?

No sponsorships. No affiliate links. 

Some sustainable options, some really freaking not. Most of these have been legitimate game changers. 

From left to right:

Pentel pocket brush pen I've had this for years. It's practical but not water resistant unless you refill it with pigment-based fountain pen ink.

Sakura Gelly Roll Not my favourite pen but good in a pinch/on the run. If I'm home and need white ink, I would rather use a dip pen in Daler Rowney FW acrylic ink because it's MUCH more opaque and water resistant and not a single use plastic pen. I do not recommend this pen. 

Isograph .20 technical pen. Imagine microns but sans felt tip and infinitely refillable. A bit of an investment but worth it in the long run. mircon prices are out of this world and also single-use plastic.

Not Tuff Stuff?? Used to be called the Tuff Stuff eraser but then got discontinued. Now called the Factis BM2 Mechanical Eraser but I still call it Tuff Stuff because I can't seem to remember the new name until I'm staring at refills in the store. It's the best. It's so much thinner and stronger than a normal mechanical eraser. Changed my life.

Sailor Pro Gear Slim Shikiori 14K The galaxy pen. My daughter. Available in a bunch of colours. The Pro Gear Slim is an """entry level""" gold nib fountain pen. Got it for the price of two switch games and haven't needed to buy a pen since. Also, it always writes. You can fill it with any colour of fountain pen ink you can imagine (clean between colours). Sensory HEAVEN. Mine's inked with Sailor Manyo ink in Sumire.

MUJI wooden mechanical pencil 0.5mm I like this mechanical pencil that's not too long. I'm normally a 0.7 person because I press too hard but I dig it. The wood feels sooooo nice in my hand.

Staedtler 0.5mm pencil lead. 'nuff said.

Pentel Ain eraser.  Works a bit better than Staedtler Mars for me and is smaller so it runs out before it can get hard and crusty.

Whiper Mr correction tape. I like it because it doesn't take up as much space as other correction tape. I don't use it much but I like knowing that if I need to replace the correction tape, I can at least only buy a refill instead of replacing the whole thing. I wouldn't argue that it's sustainable since it still uses plastic tape but hey, it's the lesser of evils in a rare pinch.

I also have a beat up 15cm/ 5" plastic ruler I've had since getting it in my middle school geometry kit. not pictured because I forgot it at home: generic water brush pen.

Everything but the Gelly Roll can be refilled, which I prefer for both the planet and my wallet. I used to be averse to investing in supplies that cost a bit more upfront but very slowly saving up for a splurge has proven to be pretty economical in the long-run.

HEY! So i just got some browser extensions for myself to make reading and writing, and i thought i'd share! (currently, they're only for chrome, i believe? if anyone has Firefox links of these, i'd love to have the link!)

#1, ADHD reader!

ADHD reader is an extension that changes your text from looking like this...

to looking something like this! wowee!

it's called Bionic Text. it's a thing where it bolds the parts of words that your brain needs to read the entire word faster! (if that makes sense, i probably explained it poorly)

#2, Pixie reader!

pixie reader is an extension that makes the internet a whole-lot more neurodivergent-friendly! it lets you change a website's font to help with dyslexia, it has a built-in website reader, it lets you change the spacing between lines of text, it comes with a reading ruler, and it lets you change the tint and saturation of the websites you are using! i really recommend this one if you do a whole-lot of reading like me.

#3, LanguageTool!

LanguageTool is basically a built-in autocorrect for your browser, so you don't misspell words ever again, which is really helpful for me! it's not super customizable, but it does have a good amount of options, and i really like that! it does have a premium mode though, but that part is entirely optional :]
