I'm getting some more markers! [link] had some serious sale on the copics. And it was lucky I placed the order on Sunday, because today they raised the prices a whole bunch. Still pretty cheap for copics, but no longer in the crazy-cheap-for-copics range.
My parents kept meaning to get me a Channukah gift, but never did. They kept meaning to get a birthday give, but never did. So they paid for a little part of the stuff I ordered. For the 9-set of black multiliners, which I'm getting because all my microns are pretty much dead, and the faber-castell pens are also kinda dying. And then also the 'copic ciao/sketch maintenance kit' which has the special tweezers and syringe thing you need for refilling the markers, some extra nibs, and a large refill bottle for colorless blender. And by buying that set thing, it saves like $15 from if I got it separately. I got the pens and the kit at [link]

The site with the liners and kit says they shipped my order today, which means I'll have it by this weekend. The place is somewhere in New York. (state, not city) And it should take less than a week. The other store I ordered from is in southern California, and they have yet to ship. But when they do, it'll be here in a couple days.

And then maybe for once I'll get a chance to make and scan new things. Yesterday I tried sketching with a really pale gray copic, and painting the colors in with other copics. So no dark lines... I need to experiment with that a bit more. I like how it's not limited by the lines, and I can change things as I'm going. The drawing was a small portrait-view of a random androgynous-looking person that just kinda appeared as I was drawing them. (As in, not a pre-existing character of mine or of anyone else.)
