NEW ITEMS FOR MANGA-KA
went shopping with gumi and ray at kinokuniya yesterday and bought two new books for the club:
-How to Draw Manga 38: Ninja & Samurai Portrayal ~ $19.99
-Japanese Comickers 2: consists of art, tuts, and profiles by 12 artists- Shigeki Maeshima, Tatsuyuki Tanaka, Waka Miyama, Lily Hoshino, Jeong Juno, Kim Hyung-Tae, Kuroboshi Kouhaku, HACCAN, Kaoru Yukifuna, Shukei, Chen Shu-Fen & Pin-Fan, noa ~ $24.95

new supplies to be ordered(links to each are provided):
-Copic Multiliners: sizes 0.03, 0.05, and 0.1 ~ $2.95 each
-Screentones: 3 sheets with 4-5 patterns on each sheet ~ about $9 depending on which sheet
-A4 GRID 110KG (Deleter):40sheets Please plan a rough sketch/layout on normal paper before working on this paper. (more info on paper below)~ $5.95
-Obitsu Doll: It's really very useful as reference for drawing various different poses. Many people have a hard time drawing because they can't imagine how the anatomy would look like in a specific pose so this is to help people draw. "But people can just pose for someone else." True, but the majority of you are too shy to pose for someone else and there are some poses that are impossible for us(ie. flying kicks and whatnot). Please be mature about this and not say things like "eww". If it bothers you that much, I'll try to buy/make/find clothes for it(or someone can donate clothes to it). -__- Yes, I know it's headless, but adding a head would be about another $8-$14. In the future, if we raise more money, I'll consider getting the head too. ~ $20.99

Info about manga paper:
A4 size is for doujinshi (print size 150mm x 220mm): 110kg or 135kg
B4 size is for professional (print size 180mm x 270mm): 110kg or 135kg
how to use manga paper

X__X I did a lot of research on exactly what to get for the club so hope you people will like them. I'll order them sometime today or tomorrow so hopefully they'll come in by this friday. If not, then next friday.

Note: Please be careful with the supplies (be careful with the books' binding, don't fold the pages, don't write/draw in the books, no tearing, don't waste good manga paper etc) Don't abuse them. They're NOT cheap. But we are more than happy to let you use them as long as you put them to good use. =)

GOAL: Copic Sketch Markers
-set of 72 markers ~ about $400
In about one month, Tsugumi, a couple of members, and have raised about $100. That means, in about 4 months we'd be able to get the Copics--less if more people help! When we get more candy to sell, I'll notify you guys.
What so good about Copic Sketch Markers? They're the best marker brand that is blendable. Prismas aren't bad but Copics provides smoother coloring and don't leave many blotches in end if used correctly. Copics have a wider range of color. This is very important for picking out skin tone colors. Also, Copics are refillable.

So how was everyone's Thanksgiving? I had fish soup instead of turkey. rofl.

First of all, Happy late Thanksgiving everyone.

Second, am I the only one that ever posts here anymore? Jeez, I usually always gets the first post

Anyhow, I have a sketch for one of my christmas entries, but I want to do soo much more, but I seriously cant find time anymore life suxs.

awws *patpat* yes, student life is harsh >=[ well, good luck in trying to finish =] you can work on it during friday

Oh yeah, does a pic of a boy with an ice dragon next to him count for the Christmas contest? If not, then I wont do it now.

D= i love dragons *bear hugs them*
well i had said the theme is anything related to christmas or WINTER. so if you make it look uh cold and stuff, it'd count. (like add snow, trees, mistletoes, wind, warm scarf, or hot chocolate in winter,...etc)

Ooh! Ooh! Nancy, remember you told me to do something like a chibi daisuke and riku? I thought of something like this:
Riku: It's so cold outside today! Wish I was by a fire and some hot chocolate.
Daisuke: Really? It's cold?
*Daisuke hugs Riku*
Riku: Nevermind, I feel warmer now.
