Here are the art supplies that I bought in Japan. Would you believe that I was looking forward to buying art supplies more than anything else? These are from Sekaido. I had hoped to visit the main branch in Shinjuku, but the Ikebukuro store proved to be good enough.
These were from Tokyu Hands.
I picked these up from The Loft on our last day.
My haul included a whole bunch of white pens.
Because one can never have enough white pens.
This pen proved to be one of my favorite art supply buys.
It's actually a fine-tipped brush pen! Neat hah!!
It's good for doing fine line variations.
This is a .005 Zig marker.
So tiny!
I partially inked this Howl's Moving Castle just to show you.
I bought two versions of this Pentel brush pen.
They both have nylon bristles and a barrel filled with ink that you have to kinda press a little while using.
It took me awhile to get used to, but I think I like it. Only thing . . . the ink takes awhile to dry and it's not waterproof, but I can smudge it with my finger or use a waterbrush for shading.
This is a dip pen. The set I bought has 3 different type of nibs. I only got to try out the G nib so far.
It's fun to use . . . somehow very satisfying.
This thing is called a screen tone. It's a peel-off adhesive film.
Manga artists use it for shading, although I think it's probably old school now since most must draw digitally instead. I think it's cool. No?
The tone cutter on the left is veeeeeery sharp and needs just a little pressure to cut. The thing on the right is used to rub rub rub the film in place. Maybe not really necessary, but it was only 200 yen.
I'm really happy with my haul and can't wait to play with them more.
Thanks Gracie. That dress is colored with Liquitex ink that I got at Ross. It was totally accidental how the colors came out. I originally had painted it yellow with red splotches. But the red looked like blood and I didn't like it. So I added other colors and mixed it up. Lucky it didn't come out looking like mud. LOL.
