equipment :)

Okay, in this post, I'll introduce some of my best friend in my drawing and doodle progress :)

The first one is the most important things for traditional drawing. Yeah, paper!
I usually using any HVS paper nearby because that's cheap and you can buy it everywhere LOL. But my pics are often lost, so I decided to change it into A4 Kiki Sketchbook. And, also this is cheaper than other sketchbook in the bookstore coughcoughcough. Yeah, I'm poor... :(

In the pic was Lyra A4 sketchbook, but I'm not using it anymore because it has *coughcough* bad quality of paper *coughcough* and I always having a bad result of scanning :(

And yeah, you can take a look the difference..

Lyra Sketch Book

(It's too dark btw D8 and because it's just a pencil sketch, editing this picture is a painful ;A;)

HVS Paper 70 gr
Pic 1 : that was my gift art for my school friend, Andrea or you can call her Kanone or whatever~ *slapped*

Looks better than the first one rite?? :)

Pic 2 : Looks normal, right? But let's take a closer look at the below the butterfly, above the table... and, WAHHH!! There's a ghost!! ;A;

Actually that's not a ghost... I drawing something behind the paper, and the scan result was... like this ORZ ORZ

A4 Sketchbook Kiki
I love this result the best :)
It's easiest to editing LOLOLOL <--lazy And... Lineart looks thicker? It's not my scanner's fault, that's because I changed my style from semi-shoujo style into shounen style which has thicker lineart :)

And maybe if you doing a lot of traditional works, I recommend you to using a little bit more expensive paper like Canson to get the best result...

Yeah, some of my friends are traditional artist, and you can check their works at their deviantart~ (and what I write here is their nicknames LOLOL)

the next is... COLOR PEN!!
Yeah, not only for drawings, I use them a lot for doodling! :D

And yeah, almost 85% the things in my pencil case is this items LOLOLOL

First pic :

That was my newly discovered doodling tools, It called MAPED COLOUR PEPS!

First I just bought it because the Stabilo pen is too expensive for me ORZ, and I just bought two colour of it.

And, I love it! The design is simple and easy to use, the colour is good and attractive... And most of all, IT'S CHEAP!!! XDDD *slapped*

Second pic :

my other various colouring tools, that was :

• Stabilo pen. But because it's expensive I just have three colours of it :(
• Penciltic, it has 8 colours but the ink isn't waterproof... Yeah, not a big problem I know..
• Snowman board marker, for colouring big areas.
• Snowman white marker, honestly I don't know what I must do with this pen... Because I usually use it to wrote my names on the text books LOLOLOL
• Snowman red spidol
• Erasable violet stabilo

Next, this is my drawing pen. Because I rarely do traditional art, so I just use this pen to make my art assignment LOL

I bought it at Mal Artha Gading, it was one packet called 'manga packet' or whatever, and the special price is just Rp. 75.000,- (about $7,5)

Still expensive, I know... But luckily my father bought it for me LOL

The next is, of course pencil and eraser.
I prefer mechanical pencil than a normal pencil, because I'm too lazy to sharpen it =___=;; *slapped*

I have a lot of mechanical pencils, but I love this one very much :)
It was a present from my friend Audrey, and she choose the green colour because she knows that I love green colour very much :)

Lastly, the tools to do some digital arts :)

There is my laptop, and I call him (?) Ludwig LOLOLOL

For the tablet, I using Genius tablet, and that's originally not mine, but that my brother's. Because he rarely using it, so I'll take it LOLOLOL

The scanner, sadly it's not mine too, it's my uncle's (I'm really poor LOL). He gave me that's scanner because he's not using it again in his office.

For the software, I use SAI Paint Tool (cracked version LOL) and Photoshop 7.0. For the vector art, I use Adobe Illustrator CS3, and for the pixel art... I use Paint LOL

And, that's all! Feel free to ask me whatever you want to know :)
