@kawaii: Not too bad at all.
ATM rather irritated though. Hav eto put a hold for ... who knows how long... on what I was working on. DX
The pink I made is too red, and I need a magenta. Lol. So I gotta wait til I can get the right colour. ^ ^;;

How've you been keeping sane overall through this global shut down?

@Amber Lynne: aw, rip i assume youre doing traditional?

pretty chill actually, ahaha, ive always been an introvert and staying at home is nice, i can finally play all the games i bought, and catch up on things i meant to watch

sometimes i wonder whatll happen if shops run out of things indefinitely so the futures a little worrying but for now ill just conserve what i have

@kawaii: Yeah.
Oil Painting actually.
(I can send a WiP if you'd like to see?)

And totally fair!
As far as I know, there aren't really any real concerns for that, so far, but that doesn't mean it'll last indefinitely.

@kawaii: Make sure to get an aerosol hairspray!
Seriously.
Pencil smudges are the WORST
After you finish, spray it to preserve it, so that it doesn't smudge all to hell. dX

@Amber Lynne: I will go back and look over. I am not a painter, I prefer using my words to paint pictures. Is painting your go-to creative outlet? If so I am curious and have questions lol

and hello as well. I cant believe it is 2am. :p I feel I need to finish working on some things before I go to bed. Meh.

@djinn: credit cards can be tricky. Are you starting out to build credit or repairing? There are many offers out there but reading the fine print is needed.

@Amber Lynne: very nice! I'm in awe. My question for now is simply, so I have some small canvases. I wanna paint something just to try it out. I have no clue were to start. Like water colors, acrylic, oils. Any direction as to where to start or whatnot?

@Xanthan: Watercolours are NOT the best option. You have to prepare the canvas, as it can't naturally absorb the water.
(There's watercolour paper that works infinitely better!)
Oils or acrylics would definitely be your better options, as they can be used on canvas a lot easier. You still should prime it first, o0r whatever, but that just makes the result better, not a necessity. (Hell, the odd time I use a canvas, I just do a layer of white acrylic on it and let it dry before using it.)

Acrylics dry stupid fast though.
Oils require paint thinner for easy clean up, or just like... dawn... That shit goes through oils and such, after all.
Acrylics can be cleaned with water.

Oils are also more expensive, on average.

I'd say oils myself, but I don't like acrylics because of the drying time. XD
