i unfortunately don’t have any questions i just want to hear you talk about art supplies 😔
oh well. thats not particuarly hard to do.
im real hyped because in the ‘my child is autistic and i have zero idea how to shop for him’ manner my mother let me pick my own gifts this year for xmas so i will be in possession of some sennelier oil pastels shortly. ive used them several times before, but theres really no competition. i say this about almost no media because i believe theres something for everyone- but there is one oil pastel brand and its sennelier. working with them will make you feel like you are working with a completly unfamillar medium even if you’ve only ever drawn in oil pastel before. They’re just incredible. incredibly pricy too.. oh well. I’m also planning on picking up a box of Carandache neocolor I. they’re wax pastels, basically crayons but actually good. my mother lives by the Neocolor II, their watersoluable cousin, but i enjoy water resistance as much as i do soluablity. and as someone who works in so much wet media, its nice to work with a sketching media that provides resist as i do not lose or smudge the sketch as heavily. Plus, i love sketching with crayons and other chunky media. Also on my mind is a new lightboard -_- only had my old one for a year and a half before it died.. sigh. I want a bigger, heavy duty one sometime but i do not have the studio space for that.. one day.
In terms of pens, my special interest within a special interest, my kaweco sport is still my baby in terms of writing pens. Used to think i was more of a lamy guy.. but whew! im a convert. Kaweco pens are so well designed it makes my jaw drop sometimes. I just adore them. Love their lead holders too! And no, my brush pen rotation has not changed. I use my kuretake no.40 and kuretake no.13 interchangably.. i do not know better brush pens on the market, they’re just perfect in every way possible. made the switch fully to platimum carbon cartridges about a year ago and i do not regret it one bit, they’re the only ones i’ll use from this point forward. The ink darkness, permenance and waterproofing is just perfect, and it’s given me much less feathering than i had with kuretake, Akashiya (as much as i love akashiya in every other regard) and pentel cartridges. I tell people this all the time, but the ink you put in your pen is as crucial as the pen itself. Akashiya Sai Thinline, of course, is my preferred colored disposable brush pen. just wish the color range was wider! They’re truly special tho, the muted pallete, the fact they’re waterproof, the long thin shape of the bristles.. gorgeous. because of the recent trend of ‘watercolor brush markers’ (big fan, dont get me wrong) its pretty difficult to find colored brush pens that aren’t waterbased. I’ve had a scheme to make my own brush pens someday using my personal ink collection, but that depends on my ability to find a bristle tip body that is leakproof, cheap enough to get several of, and actually retains a point. People rave about just filling aquash style brushes with ink, but those leak.. a LOT. and keeping their tips consistantly wet has a habit of making their sharpness go away, which is fine if you’re painting, not so much for lineart. So. while i do get real autistic trying to find the best brush pens for lineart.. at the end of the day, i always end up just hand lining with a paintbrush and ink lol. it’s still the best way. (if you’re curious i normally do my colored lineart in liqutex acrylic ink, specifically the muted colors series because they’re perfect in every way shape and form.)
like i said. not hard to do. it’s like asking me to talk about music. i will, just can’t promise it will be understandable to anyone but me.

hello buckwheat hopping into your asks to tell you how much i love your inktober art . i love your traditional coloring (the blue shadows, the lighting, the insane backgrounds) and the concepts (the birth of mairon art: i mf gasped) and the anatomy is sooooooo good ...... you are a huge inspo . also can i ask u what materials u use bcs i love the look and texture of the pieces 🤲
hope you are having a great day and thank u for sharing ur art with us 🫶
Hiiiiiiii aaaaa thank you so much 😭😭😭😭 it means a lot because as much as my background is in traditional art, I would rarely create full illustrations this way and tbh I didn't know how to make them look effective. this inktober is me forcing myself to really practise and create finished pieces in their own right within my sketchbook and like. Stop running away from anatomy and perspective lmao. I'm glad to know that ppl enjoy the results!!
I should take some photos of my materials, but essentially the whole turquoise theme begun almost by accident as i decided to finally use That Sample of a Sennelier Ink Brush Pen I've Had For Ages And Never Used Because It Was Green-ish. And it turned out to be the perfect shade for uhm.. constructing a piece in layers of plain colours as if i was doing screen printing or woodblock (I'm not sure if any of my rambling makes sense xhxhxh).
So for the turquoise palette pieces it's a processed of outlining the sketch + filling in all the dark areas with The Brush Pen, the rest being coloured in with alcohol based markers (red going on top of turquoise gives a nice shadow),,, i used gouache/white ink in some pieces for touch ups & Fuckup Coverage,, black lines go last where I think I need them.
I hope this makes any sense and can be helpful in any way, the whole thing is a bit of a string of happy accidents i feel i have zero control over gjcuffufufuf

A Valentine's piece a did of my oc Thomas(Left) & Bjørn(Right).
Little short story behind the piece: Bjørn is proposing to Thomas in the mid-70s? But ya know it's the 70s so they are just "Roommates" "Very close friends" "Friends of Dorothy" etc.
I still really like this piece, mainly due to the mixed media-looking aspect of it.
Backgrounds are just a procreate brush and a paper doily that i pain staking fixed to it was transparent.

I’ll try to link to the specific supply, or something that’s close to what I have. c:
Please don't feel pressured to buy a lot of what I use and feel free to do research on what will be best for your budget and the way you work. Also if there are alternatives to what I list that will be more affordable to you and are great quality you should go for those.
Pencils/Erasers
kneaded eraser ✨ [ great for lightly erasing the drawing to prepare for ink/watercolor ] / stick eraser / block eraser / electric eraser ( + refills )

Daler Rowney FW Acrylic Ink ( Black )
