@Lina: im used to it since ever since my mom had her stroke 10 ish years ago
i rarely left the house. :vanora_sweat:
I do have anxiety and depression.
Bu not much i can do since i cant drive anyways lol
and don't really have friends irl.
and well obviously pandemic so im just staying put.
And the only job i can do is art because other than art i am pretty useless lmao.

I usually prefer larger ones in case i draw a bunch.

@Lina: i refuse to leave my house
unless i absolutely have no choice.

So i buy everything i can online.
only time i go out is doctor's appointments.

tho my eyes need to get checked so i didn't read clearly
the erasers were "small"
but i got like 5 so it should be fine lol.

@xvz: Just youtube, pinterest, etc.
I have a lot of reference to draw.
i dont really like the poses i get given for most reference sites and don't like having a timer.
i'm an extremely slow artist and have trouble all the time just even sketching freely.

So im just doing my own sort of thing.
figured i'd start with trying out loomis head method.

@xvz: I just bought tombow's mono small eraser 5 pack.
I don't often have much money and shipping usually
takes it all since no prime life lol.

I just needed erasers better than my pentel ones i've dealt with
as they smudge everything.
so we'll see how it goes.
I'm probably just gonna do anatomy studies tho.

I'm not very good with telling how good of materials are as im not really a traditional artist.
i am basically 99% digital artist.
so this is the first time of buying any kind of materials so im not really sure how helpful my opinion on them will be :vanora_sweat:

but still happy with it regardless.

@Lina: same but it is not.
despite art is all around us...weird lol.

Yeah hands be tricky.
but it will take me months to just fill one page in my new very large sketchbook lol.
so that'll be good.

@Lina: Studying fundamentals tho is important.
depending what your goal in art is.

for me i have to study to get better at much
but i can't just only study or i'll burn out.
but i also have to try to advertise work for commissions or shop stuff
cause pandemic and i can't get a job IRL.
It's a hard balance lol.

Yep. i really liked todays prompt i did..but hands...not so good lmao.
But that's why i bought apparently a giant sketchbook lol.

I usually have mine from 2500x3500 depending on what i want for the piece.
I usually don't go under 2500 mark though.
However I keep mine at 600dpi.
But most say to have it between 350 dpi or higher.

Hope this helps and good luck with your commissions!
It can be very difficult to get commissions.

@Lithium: My sketchbook arrived a few days ago
but waiting on my erasers.
Says it will not arrive until tuesday tho. :vanora_cry:

I don't often buy art supplies cause im mostly a digital artist
but I am wanting to go deep into the art studies and improve traditional work.

tho i very much underestimated the size of the sketchbook lmao.
But it'll last ages at least lol.
