you could have gotten exactly the same a few times cheaper

2017-08-24 06:48:49 UTC  

Well there is a difference in engineering pencils and sketching pencils

2017-08-24 06:49:04 UTC  

The letters are wider instead of longer

2017-08-24 06:49:08 UTC  

Idk why

2017-08-24 06:49:55 UTC  

wood and graphite

2017-08-24 06:50:05 UTC  

the only difference is marketing

I suppose if I can track down what stores in Canada sell engineering pencils I'll see about obtaining some.

2017-08-24 06:50:51 UTC  

4b is such a babe

2017-08-24 06:50:58 UTC  

I mean you probably have something like a 2H?

2017-08-24 06:51:01 UTC  

Nd 2b hehehehe

2017-08-24 06:51:20 UTC  

I think it is 2h the normal school pencils

2017-08-24 06:51:50 UTC  

they're sturdy but they're made for sharp and high contrast letters

2017-08-24 06:52:01 UTC  

Tbh I'd rather draw with mechanical pencils than school pencils

2017-08-24 06:52:09 UTC  

something like a B or 2/3B with minimal pressure would do wonders for shading

2017-08-24 06:52:10 UTC  

^^

2017-08-24 06:52:38 UTC  

you can also get different graphite grades for mechanical pensilc, but shading will be a bitch

2017-08-24 06:52:44 UTC  

t. engineer

2017-08-24 06:53:51 UTC  

In most cases I had just been using a regular pencil to outline what I was going to finish shading on the computer. But, I've had limited time the past few days, and have just been shading my stuff on paper.

2017-08-24 06:54:05 UTC  

just buy a fucking screen tablet and use photosop or sai

2017-08-24 06:54:23 UTC  

I have a wacom 😛

2017-08-24 06:54:23 UTC  

Lmao

2017-08-24 06:54:36 UTC  

roll it up and shove it up your dog

2017-08-24 06:54:45 UTC  

Lmfao

2017-08-24 06:54:53 UTC  

Holy shit its 2 am

2017-08-24 06:54:55 UTC  

sorry, I have tourettes

2017-08-24 06:54:58 UTC  

Bai nigguh

2017-08-24 06:55:11 UTC  

goodbye bro

2017-08-24 06:55:52 UTC  

I end up using paper to outline what I'm going to draw, because wacom accuracy is a pain. Then I scan it in and shade/colour it.

2017-08-24 06:56:16 UTC  

> not using vector software for your lineart

2017-08-24 06:56:21 UTC  

why even bother, man

2017-08-24 06:56:38 UTC  

The lineart dissapears entirely in my end results.

2017-08-24 06:57:25 UTC  

So scanned in pencil/paper paper works fine.

2017-08-24 06:59:50 UTC  

why not use what real pro's use?

2017-08-24 07:00:03 UTC  

And whats that?

2017-08-24 07:00:33 UTC  

etch a sketch

2017-08-24 07:02:19 UTC  

Maybe it's just me but I would recommend you focus a little more on pencil art first so you get the hand of it and then move to digital

2017-08-24 07:02:35 UTC  

That's just me tho if you can handle both then that's great

2017-08-24 07:03:25 UTC  

Sarai is right

2017-08-24 07:03:29 UTC  

focus on one thing
