infamous lurker-sorts. *nervous smile*
Erm, anyway, the reason I am here is because I would like for any furry
artist(s) to drop by my online gallery & give me any comments about my work.
Suggestions/criticism would definately be good as well.
The reason for this is that I am thinking about accepting commissions or
selling my random pics online, to earn enough to get myself a new box of
water-soluble colour pencils (I only have a box of 24 colours & they're the
low-grade type).

Thanks a million in advance!

Howdy! Stopped by your site and checked out the pictures. I'm not really
qualified to comment on "toon" furry art, but it looked pretty good to me. Your
color work is excellent. Are you planning on sticking with strictly watercolor
pencils, or are you going to try other mediums as well? I primarily use
Prismacolor pencils, but also use Prismacolor ink pens, Prang colored pencils,
Berol Prismacolor Very Fine colored pencils, acrylic enamel paints, pastels, or
watercolors, depending on the effect desired. I'll have to give those
watercolor pencils a shot. Are they tricky to use?
Good stuff all around! Thanks for the invitation to view your pictures!

what you might call it. ;p
Unfortunately, I only have color pencils: the water-solubles & a box of
Derwent. I am financially challenged, so the number of mediums I have
experimented with are limited. The only other medium I have used with some
amount of success is poster paint & I had to hand these down to my sister
once I finished high school. Pastels were way too messy for me to handle (my
hands & pictures always came up a mess). Water-soluble color pencils are
really easy to use! They give you the control of color pencils & the
blending of watercolor. You should give them a try.
And you are definately most welcome! =^_^=

junk I've been running into lately. I've no real advise to give other than I
recommend water based marks for coloring, can get expensive though for the good
brands.

My, but isn't there an amazing quantity of this stuff out there? I swear, if
there were the slightest market for it out there, I'd start a new 'zine:

Water based markers as opposed to chemical (smelly type) markers. A common
brand would be Marvey or Le Plume. I prefer Swann Sabilo but they are hard to
find and kinda expensive. An example of chemical based markers would be the
Design brand.
I've used both and find that the waterbased types have a better range of
colors and bleed less. I'm confident that you will do well with your art so I
would say to take some of the money you make and get a good sized set and try
them out.
You might also talk to Shon Howell who also taught me all I know. He is at

Hmmm....that's if I make any money. ;p
Anyway, I'll take a look at the local art store & find out how much they
cost, but I have a feeling I might have to do my shopping on eBay. *sigh*

Try http://www.artstore.com/
They have a store in Pasadena Ca, where I go for my art supplies, and they have
some of the lowest art prices around too.
