SHOW ME YOUR ART

-=+=-
Hey guys, for those of you who read my blog every week, looking at the drawings, this is for you. 
-=+=- 
I want you to try one of the drawings and send it to me. Please do this via the comment section. I would love to see some of your work. :) 
-=+=-
You can even just send in one of your own drawings, and I will do my best to recreate it for a future blog if you like. Get creative. Put your own twist on my drawings. If you know me personally, just text them to me. I might be putting up my favorite one. You have until next week. 
-=+=-
I know a lot of you might not participate, but I'm hoping some of you do. 
-=+=-
PS My next blog will have a poll in it, because I am entering an art show and I need some help on deciding which painting to enter. Thanks for the upcoming help. :)

MATERIAL RANT

-=+=-
This week instead of showing you how to draw something I will be talking about the materials I use, since many people have been asking about it. :) I would prefer no to show pictures of each material, sorry :((.
-=+=-
I have my own sketchbook and the paper inside is much thicker and a bit easier than regular printer paper. (in my opinion) to draw on based on the thickness.
-=+=-
I only use size 2B pencils because they aren't too dark, but still pretty dark when in use. :) I also use charcoal pencils because I find it really cool the way it looks like when you shade something in with them.
-=+=-
Unlike most people, instead of Copic markers I use Prismacolor. Mainly due to the fact that they are much cheaper (still pretty expensive though) and because I feel that they work better within smaller areas and that they seem like pens.
-=+=-
The colored pencils that I use (don't judge ;) ) are just normal thin crayola ones, because I feel as if I would be betraying my childhood if I didn't.
-=+=-
All in all, the materials that I use aren't too expensive, or super fancy, but they are very good quality and work like a charm :). I am in no way trying to influence people to get these materials, but trust me you won't be sorry if you do. 

PS) Since there's no drawing this week, next week there might be two (or an extra detailed one).
