This section is less tutorial and more information and my opinions on some art equipment ^_^;. Be aware that
I'm definitely more of a CG (computer coloring) type artist, so my equipment and preferences tend to reflect that~.
And again, these are all MY opinions, so please don't take offense if you see your favorite art tool being labeled as bad or something ^_^;;; Page 1 -- Pencils, Paper, and Erasers.

| Pens and Inking Tools |
 Staedtler and Sakura Microns are the best pens I've found yet *_*! Veeeery nice black pens~. Ink goes on smoothly and evenly, and tends not to smear! My favorite pen tip size is 03.  Don't buy these Faber-Castell type inking pens, though! Especially if you plan on using marker coloring afterwords. They smear easily and a lot!  Also, these Sakura brush-tip pens have problems. They're probably all well and good for calligraphy and such. But the tips are insanely hard to control for inking, and the color goes on too unevenly for coloring with.  Everyone knows Sharpies! They're easy to use for filling in large black spaces and outlines. I've heard that the black will change color eventually, though O_O. I dunno if it's true or not.  I use a black Prismacolor marker to fill in large black spaces and lines instead of a Sharpie~. It's a bit more expensive, but its got the variable nib sizes, and I'm sure it won't change color on me 5 years from now ^_^  If you're inking a picture, you WILL make mistakes O_O! And one of the few ways to "erase" a black pen line is with white acrylic and a brush ^_^! (A lot of people use white-out, but acrylic is easier to apply, for me.)  Gel pens are another way of drawing over the black inking lines~. The white gel pens can be easier for small precision changes than acrylic, too! Just...the white gel is not as opaque as the acrylic, so it won't completely cover large, dark black lines. |
