Hi Hellen, how do you store all the supplies and tools for your wonderful projects? Just wondering if you have A System because I have so so many craft supplies and they are Everywhere.

Thanks :) hope you and your creatures are well!

There is no system. My house way bigger than I need and there are art supplies in every room.

Most of it is in my large apothecary and map cabinets in the drawing room, but honestly I just put stuff where I have room for it and remember where I stuck it. Sometimes I even manage to vaguely cluster it by what sort of hobby it goes to!

Mostly it works. It's not a good method. Somewhere in this house there are five sewing machines and right now I can only find four of them.

I don't even sew.

#but I COULD SEW MAYBE #i have a Problem #....the problem is that i break sewing machines #not hoarding art supplies #thats not a problem.

you were my brother - a RotS screencap redraw - coloured pencil on black paper

#obi-wan Kenobi #fanart #1ben art #i am not loving wax-based pencils on the black paper.... #and that's 100% because the scanner picks up the shine even if you can't see it in person #ohhh maybe i'll try pastels or something (lol i don't need to expand my art supply hoard buuutttt)

What markers do you use and what kind paper? The textures are so Delicious

Very basic paper, actually! I find I overthink when using expensive stuff and it makes my sketches worse.

As for markers, I use Copics! Not that this is an endorsement (my first set were a very nice gift), but I have really liked using alcohol based markers over water based ones; lovely texture, good blending, and less streaking. However, the price can be *brutal*, and you can very easily get by with other markers + pencil crayons.

#ask #art faqs #fancy supplies are nice but the dont really help THAT much for art skills. Consistancy and persistance does. #I balked the first time I needed to go in to buy a few new ones to fill out my roster. #if you are going to invest; my strategy was to make those fancy new supplies a reward for drawing X amount of days in a row #that way one doesnt buy a bunch of stuff for a soon to be abandoned hobby #Art is a relatively cheap hobby at its basics. You do not need the fanciest and most expensive things. #I think watercolour is the only exception for me; that paper better be high grade. The paint mix also matters #but I digress. Buy what you need and not what you want. Save your money. #Guilt will make you stop drawing. Hoarding supplies and never using them is wasteful #when I drop money on new colours I'm going in with a list of what I want #and looking through the swatchpad for hours until i get the right colour. #cant emphasize enough how fortunate I am to have been gifted my copics. I never would have bought them on my own.

If you hugged Chandelure I think it’d either be scalding hot or just like perfectly warm

Gris adores ghost types and spooky things and absolutely spoils Chandelure (don’t worry they spoil all of Ingo’s pokemon)

#bought new pens and wanted to try them out #I hoard office supplies <3 #Gris’s mom loved ghost types and the trait got passed down #pokemon #pokemon fanart #submas #pokemon oc #chandelure #traditional art #sketch #Gris

RUNNING AROUND EXCITEDLY HIIIII HI SERAPHINA I'VE MISSED YOU SO MUCH!!!!! IM SO HAPPY TO SEE YOU AGAIN!!!!!!

Yippee! I missed you too! You are such a delight and I hope you are doing well and taking care of yourself. I am psychically mirroring your energy/running around in circles as well

I didn't have any appropriate .gifs saved so I had to go find a suitably kitschy one (it claims to be the Missed You Teddy Bears) however I fear that this message is not appropriately conveyed, so I am noting this here.

I hope we can have some fun again on Tumblr now my self-imposed exile is over.

#seraphina's asks #user: rubyneo #seraphina party hour #flashing gif #writing these tags in glitter gel pen btw #I cleaned out all my art supplies and found out that like 8+ year old pens were all still perfectly working #because I'd stored them correctly. The only ones which weren't were the glitter gel pens #I have a hoard of supplies now I'm letting myself use (I was 'saving them') and it's basically like home shopping

#raidiculous artings #liiore dariya #thanks slow work days for giving me the opportunity to go back to my roots with traditional art #and the officeworks around the corner enabling my impulsive art supply hoarding habits LMAO #that pose is probs off cuz I had no access to refs but w/e. it’s about The Vibe #mobileblogging

I finished* the background!!! :-D

*By finished I mean I have the base down. I still want to get paint markers to add some extra details, but for now, the background is done! I’m still not done with the characters, but I put the ones I have down, and I like how it looks so far! I do plan to make the bottom brown part look more rock like, either by drawing on the felt with chalk pastels, or else by finding some brown lace and putting that overtop it. But that will be later, after I get to the store, ha. ^-^

Oh! And I think I'll put my inspiration/reference in a read more! I took screenshots from a playthrough of the game and did my best to follow it. :-)

So, here it is! My super technical inspiration/reference, ha. I think I did well with my limited colors with the felt, as well as with how small some of the pieces are. I wish the grass was lighter, but I didn't have a lighter green that was that long. I only had the dark green, and if I wanted light green I would have needed YET ANOTHER trip to the store, and it would have been $2, which was... yeah, meh, especially since I don't even want to know how much I've spent on this so far, ha.

@magicmetslogic was interested in seeing my art supply hoard, so here we go. (I have more art supplies, but they're various kinds of paints and are in a different location)

So here's my colored pencil collection. The picture on the left has my box of cheapie pencils that I mostly just use for coloring books, a box of a few random metallic and black colored pencils, and my plastic crayons. The one on the right has my pencil case of prismacolors, a case of colored pencils that I use for more 'serious' art endeavors, a set of woodless pencils, some prismacolor art sticks, and a set of crayolas that I bought because I have no self-restraint.

The picture on the left is of my various kinds of stick charcoal, my charcoal pencils, and my pastels. The one on the right has my prismacolor markers, sharpies, and my various paint pens.

The picture on the left is my eraser and sharpener hoards (I get so many erasers and sharpeners with pencil sets) as well as my box of random art supplies. That includes a pad of sandpaper to put points on my pencils, some reed pens, a stone pencil, wax resist crayons, a pencil lengthener (to put pencil stubs in so you can still use them), an ink well, and eraser pencils. The one on the right is my set of oil pastels. I like oil pastels because they're like crayons only creamier.

The picture on the left has my pencils in various hardnesses as well as my box of various pens, including brush pens and fine point pens; there's also my bottle of white ink. The one on the right has my protractors and rulers and a little drafting set I got a while back.

And finally here's my various watercolor pencils and my singular graphite wash pencil.

I hope this was at least mildly interesting lol.

packing to move be like, how the fuck do i have so much stuff???

#rambling #my possessions fall into mostly three categories: clothes kitchen and art stuff #sad that i have so much traditional art supplies and rarely use them but im not tossing them! it's my hoard lol #anyone got a bag of holding i can use to make my books weigh less?

[neodarkdark]

Ngl gonna be real glad when I'm done with this sketchbook, I don't like the paper. Legit think it's been putting me off drawing with pencil bc the moment I had to use another book for a minute it was so much better

#I've had this thing for like. 10 years. Working through my sketchbook hoard #you know when you have Likes Drawing as your personality trait and nobody knows any of your other interests #so they just give you art supplies every year #yeah. add in my habit of avoiding using up supplies on purpose for Some reason #im sure the paper would be fine for some other art thing maybe #but i only know One art technique: draw shape with graphite. or maybe pen #its so smudgy and erases so messy and bad :( #who opened the box (ooc)

if u like a coloring page def reprint it out for urself if u can to color or the opposite - coloring the book and keeping the printed one

but man its fun to actually get around to using my art supplies and coloring books, i feel bad abt things just sitting there

#i have a junji ito coloring book that i liked looking at and wasnt coloring it the entire time since i got it so im getting around to #aswell as my other coloring books that been sitting there. coloring a zebra rainbow rn #like stickers too they can be put in a sticker book and stuff so still technically used #my art supplies that were abandoned in my boxes are being used now and it feels good to #stuff is Meant To Be Used in ur life #im trying to make any possible hoarding not possible in my life
