Thank you so much, I'm really glad that you enjoy my work! :) I'm sorry for the delayed reply and I'm REALLY sorry for the length of my answer.
For pencils, I usually just use a regular mechanical pencil with 0.7 lead. The only time I use HB pencils are for school work or more "serious" pieces -- other than that, I find mechanical pencils to do the job just fine. I just rely on pressure to get the right affect.
Eraser-wise, I love using Staedtler's Mars Plastic erasers (or just white erasers in general). It's always done the job for me. Pink erasers I stay away from and the moldable erasers have never really been nice to me. I'm not entirely sure why.
Pens have always alternated between what was best for my budget. If I'm looking for an easy/cheaper solution, I usually use a thin/fine-tipped Sharpie. Lately, however, I've been using an extra-fine Pilot pen (Precise V5). I like reserving my micron pens (I use Pigma, the ones with the cherry blossom symbols) for more difficult/detailed work. The Pilot pen is a great fallback, though, and I love using it for basic shapes and outlines.
Paper has always been whatever I had on hand, really. It's alternated from construction paper to printer paper to notebooks, etc. I have an unhealthy habit of utilizing printer paper the most, simply because it's the easiest for me to gain access to. In addition to that, I don't feel as horrible if I'm just using it for basic ideas/sketching since it's cheaper. I like keeping my thicker/heavier papers (read: anything of better quality or more expensive) for when I've got a piece entirely planned out and ready to be finalized.
In terms of sketchbooks... I choose anything within a reasonable price range. I've heard amazing things about moleskins and have always wanted to buy one for myself, but I always get so scared because then I feel pressured to fill it up with A+ quality work for every single page. Sadly, that pressure and obligation makes me very uncomfortable, so I opt out and stick with cheaper sketchbooks. I've used the Strathmore sketchbooks before and loved it, but decided to switch it up and am currrently using a Daler & Rowney sketchbook, 5.5 x 8.5. I like to keep my sketchbooks moderately small/medium-sized so that it's not too much of a hassle to carry. I stay away from anything not spiral bound. Spiral bound has always been easier, imo, to draw in.
For digital media, I use a Wacom tablet. SUPER old. A graphire, I believe? I got it back in 2003/2004. I think I was in junior high when I got it. It's served me well for the past 7-8+ years, but it's kind of on its last leg now... the USB doesn't connect sometimes lmao. I'm hoping to replace it with a Bamboo, but seeing as how it still works (most of the time), I haven't gotten around to that yet. I've also used CS3, but for the longest time, used Photoshop 7.0. I'm hoping to get my hands on Painter one day, or Sai. (I used a trial version of Sai and LOVED it.)
As you can tell, I don't like to waste my resources if I can help it. I guess you could say that I'm probably really stingy lololol. Hope this helped! If you have anything else to ask, feel free to ask me here/tumblr/or just shoot me an e-mail. :) -
soooo... you're agreeing with yourself. ARE YOU OK?

Aww, thank you so much! I'm glad that you liked the series! And it's not creepy at all, hahaha. I really appreciate it. <3 :)

Ahaha, something under the College of Humanities and Social Sciences!

Ahahaha, alright. So how do I go about proving it to you? If you're a friend of mine on FB, you can actually see a lot of my work in progress pictures (through my mobile phone album or otherwise). If you're not, then I can understand why you would try to think otherwise. If that's the case, where should I upload my WIP pictures to make you believe me?
Haha, thank you. :] -
I know everyone and their mother loves him, but I can't help but like him too: Joseph Gordon-Levitt. There's something endearingly quirky about him that really makes him stand out.

haha, I'm glad you do! :]

It depends on what the promise is, along with how often they break them. If it's something serious (ie. "I KILLED SOMEONE, PROMISE ME YOU WON'T TELL!") then yes, I'll get irked about it. Otherwise, I don't mind for the most part, especially if the other person apologizes.
However, if they break 99% of the promises they make with me, then yeah, I'll be mad. -
-
(: Aww, thank you. This made me smile! You're very sweet.
-
Depends! My favorites tend to vary/fluctuate. At the moment, it's lasagna.
-
... uhhhh? what? lol
-
When I'd die. At least then I have a time to figure what I want to do from now to then. Helloooo, bucketlist!

I deactivated it temporarily for art. I kept getting side tracked by it last night, so my friend told me to just delete it until I got everything finished. I'm completely caught up now. yee.
-
Math and science.
It's almost like putting a turkey in the pouring rain. -
TO VIETNAM. To see my sister. And to finally visit the Motherland.
Though, if I had an unlimited budget, I'd push for Japan, S. Korea, or the Philippines. D: SUCH AMAZING CLOTHES <3
