Posted in Sketchbook Hunt Posted 5 years ago
So, I’m almost 3/4 of the way through my sketchbook which means it’s time for me to go on a sketchbook hunt. I usually get mixed media sketchbooks because I love my alcohol markers and watercolours. However I haven’t found one I have liked yet.

I have tried chanson mixed media (current) about 3 times now. The paper feathers the marker so bad and in general I just hate the look and quality of the sketchbook. I tried strathmore mixed media and it’s just far too cottony for my taste.

The only thing I have enjoyed drawing and sketching on has been my Fabre castellated mixed media Bristol sheets. But there are few sketchbooks with similar paper quality. I have bumped into other artists on here so I figured y’all may have some favourites for me to consider?

@vengeance: indeed! I send all my best wishes for recovery.



@Totalanimefan: that’s good! I’m so happy for you and the lil guy!

Also my niece was born on the 27th a month early. She’s in th nicu due to problems breathing. :(

@Saeyra: I'm not sure if they are in stores yet? I had to order mine on amazon or the website.

@vengeance: I'm sorry you're going through that. =(

@Kairu: Hey! Thank you so much!

@Saeyra: I own some copics, a few windsor and newton, and 100 set of ohuhu. I find windsor and newton and copic are super similiar in quality. The brush nibs on windsor are squishier though. It gets a bit frustrating. Fortunately I'm finding I prefer not having brush nibs. Lol. And I might try it out! Thank you!


@TheArtOfTheFart: I do so far! I've been having some pretty fun chats with some folks! And thank you so much!

@vengeance: Oh no. What happened?
Posted in The Scribble Box Posted 5 years ago
@vengeance: Lol! Well I'm glad you popped back in!
Today is a pretty good day. Not feeling too dizzy, and having sushi with the family and grandparents later tonight.
Looking to do some art later today. Wbu?

@Totalanimefan: It is. I'm always so scared for my dog, Ollie, because he will literally eat anything. And well, hopefully it's just a stomach bug then. Doggies can catch bad colds and stuff too. =P
YAY! Aweh, is he a super happy puppy now?


@vengeance: Haha. Oops.

@Ixora: Lol! Fair enough. I lose all self control when it comes to cake and pie, and chocolate. But I need them all or else I have these crying spells. xD MODERATION. If I need to be reminded of it, I just have my little sister watch me and say "Really? ANOTHER piece of cake? How much of it are you going to eat?" And then I give it to her. xD

I'm from Missouri. Pedestrians aren't respected there at all. Literally. xD

Oml, I have. I have a friend who has dual citizenship between canada and india and she tells me about the crazy traffic. D= It's insane, dude.

@Ixora: I never said it wasn't. Lol. I'm middle eastern and my favorite rice is made with chicken boiled in the seasonings to make a base. I like to debone it and fry it up and have it with a nice salad. Fried chicken skins are amazing and as long as you have high fats or something in moderation, a little shouldn't hurt.=P

I hate being a pedestrian here. Terrified. Just terrified.

LOL! Hey, I heard crazier things. There have been jokes about nothing stopping traffic in india, But it's just different everywhere ya go. =P Some places pedestrians are respected and looked out for, other places it's like a bowling match... D=

@Ixora: Trying not to. Unfortunately after passing out at work and stuff it's kinda hard to not let it get in the way. ^^; Some things can't be fought. As far as food goes, I generally eat pretty healthy. More veggies and fruits than most other stuff.

Yeah... Naw. Toronto sounds like an amazing place to drive at in comparison to sask. I would trade in seconds. D=

xD I used to do the same. Instead it was more "YES! FUND MY COLLEGE TUITION!" lol. But it sounds like, in general, pedestrians are respected there. You'd think it'd be the same most places... =\

@Ixora: Hoping as well. But I inherit more physically and mentally from my bio father, so I just hope I didn't also get his health issues. [he died at like, 59? that would suck. ]

Drivers here do that. My mom yeilded for a bunch of school kids crossing and a big truck tried to go around her and almost hit the line of kids. This is saskatoon. I have a friend from Toronto and when she sees the same stuff she flips. xD She's so sassy she yelled out the window at these dudes.

Aweeehhh! xD I am sure they don't mind waiting for you. Most folks don't. Those who do are butt holes.

@koneko: They did the blood pressure bit but that's all. =P But I know my bio dad had a mitral valve prolapse that gave him the same issues. Hoping it's not that. They had to give him a stress test before he got diagnosed.
And thank you. I really appreciate it. I will ask my doctor about it next time.


@Ixora: I hate it too. I just recently started getting well enough after one bout of the same issue [with heart palpitations] and going back to the gym, got a good job and now it's just all over again. It really sucks. And Hopefully. I'm trying to remain positive.

It. Is. A. Deathwish. At least in the city I live in. These folks will literally hit you. They don't care. Like, there are one lane roads. People will be trying to turn lef, and the cars will go around these folks to go straight at an intersection. No matter the time of year, or road conditions.
