Christmas Thread: Did anyone git anything gud for Xmas?
Pic related: my wife got me a drafting table, no more using a squat rack anymore.
just that cash money
>>2326799
Noice table. Nah, just cash for me. Considering buying some silk screening stuff with it.
>>2326799
Cool, I have the same one.
>>2326831
From where/how much?
2 t-shirts, earphones and R$60 (equivalent to 15 american dollars)
Anyone else here draw Christmas cards they feel are terrible but will probably still get great reception by relatives?
>>2326832
I think she got it off Amazon for around $130. It was around $200 but it went on sale. So much easier drawing on it.

bought myself a watercolur set for christmas
but no actuall art related stuff from anybody, which is a good thing because who knows what useless / poor quality theyd get you, and then youd just need to act all happy n shit while knowing you might not even use it...
>>2326799
damn, I want one too
>>2326864
What set? I'm planning on investing in a Sennilier set.
3 pencils
palomino blackwing
>>2326869
Sonnet 24 set, the best cheap watercolors you can get. Im just starting out, so no need to go all out yet.
>>2326799
I have the same one except I don't have the metal drawer at the bottom middle.
>>2326887
>the same
>not the same

i got a number two pencil from my mom
>>2326879
IF you end up enjoying watercolor I would suggest talens 24 transparent set (Super pigmented and easy to work with) and the winsor and newton cotman tube set (pricey BUT you can use discounts at like joanns and michaels and shit)
Have fun!
>>2326896
will keep that in mind, thanks! the st petersburg colors are really pigmented too, thats why i went for them
>>2326799
>squat rack

For today, some Illustration ATCs & sleeves, and a couple of kneaded erasers from Jerry's Artarama since they were having a 30% off normal items sale.
>>2326843
Right here familia, finished sending all of that out a few days ago to friends. Fucked up on mom-in-law's card but she didn't mind/care that much since she liked the overall sentiment about it - that or the set of wine coasters I made for her.
>>2326873
Amazon is out of that set, and I don't wanna spend 20+bux to try out the non 602 pencils they have. How do you like the Pearl and the normal Blackwing?
Two firsts. A table easel and a set of 48 prismacolors. The easel is better then I expected, feels nice and sturdy though I haven't used it yet. I'm stoked about the prismacolors. Time to struggle with 'wasting' the pencils and also needing to use them to get better.
Never played with them, would love some tips if anyone's got some. Scribbled a little, they feel amazing.
>>2327100
You've probably already heard it elsewhere, but try to not put a lot of pressure on the Prismas. Quality control issues and all of that nice shit.
The URL is generic, but deals with Prismas for the most part -

My SO got me the anniversary set of Copics last year. She's the best.
>>2327100
I wanted one of those table easel so much, didnt get one ;_;
I-I can get by with propping shit up against books for another year... I guess.
I didn't get anything.
>>2327116
thanks man, that gives me a good start.
>>2327344
sorry to hear that. I haven't given it a serious test drive yet, but I'm pretty happy with it so far. Seems like the reviewers saying 'it's worth every penny' were right. Was already assembled, though missing one of the wingnuts. Not gonna sweat it, should be easy enough to find a replacement. Feels nice and sturdy, good size (a little bigger then i thought it'd be), and the drawer can be taken out easily. It's not polished-smooth, but it's not so rough that I want/need to sand it. I've never had one of these so I don't know much about them, but it seems like a solid choice. Good luck saving up for one and/or waiting. I'll try to enjoy it twice as much for you, anon.
>>2327179
literally a waste of money
>>2327348
I'm sorry, but I laughed way too hard at this.

How do i get a wife? I've asked 10 girls on /ic/ alone.

OP here, we met on Match.com, actually. Today is our 2 year anniversary.
I got some Chinese black ink. Pic related, exact same product. With some brushes as well, 4 different sizes.
I do speak and can write an asian language but am not interested in calligraphy very much. I'm wondering if I couldn't find it an artistic use to it though, been pondering on this.
Thoughts?
>>2327654
I suppose you could ink with an inkwell pen like with any other oil - or is it a very different oil, say thicker than usual?
>>2327660
When i say oil I of course mean ink..
>>2327660
It doesn't seem specially thick, I'd say average.
I don't have such pen though. I'll see what I can do with the tiny brush first.
>>2327654
Use it with watercolors
>>2327131
is that manic miner
Got these.
>>2328324
Limited budget or someone just say "fuck it" and went to Michaels?
That easel is ok though desu
>>2328378
the book is fantastic as well
>>2328324
the tools are edaquate to your skill shown at the right
I got some cash and some ballpens.
What's a good pen for inking anyway? I usually get unipens.
>>2328324
>tfw I have that exact same easel
>>2328405
W-what's in the box?
My gf bought me How to Render by Scott Robertson, pretty stoked.
>>2326799
Nice gift. As for me, I got a few canvases, some paint and a book on Jackson Pollock
>>2326799
Nice table OP. I got the same one four years ago but it had wheels and different legs which wobbled so hard over the years the soldered joints broke. Now I am looking for a used wooden table for my glass adjustable top.
>>2331570
I got some copic markers and a few sketchbooks, I'm satisfied.
I got a lot of charcoal.
My relatives gave up on trying to hunt for specific items so I just got the cash for it instead.
>>2331574
>got coal for xmas

Got one of these babies.
>>2331627
Damn. I am in a heated decision between getting this or the Yiynova 22u v3 in the same exact price range. The only reason I am favoring the yiynova is because the screen is larger. But I saw how good the Cintiq looks on this person's setup. Fuuuuck!
How is the Cintiq?
>>2331630
that's a kawaii keyboard
>>2331630
Not that anon but I have a cintiq 13HD. I'm actually sad I didn't go with the Ugee http://www.amazon.com/Ugee-Graphics-Drawing-Monitor-Protector/dp/B00NL4P3Y0
If I could go back I would have bought that instead. The 13HD just doesn't feel like it's worth the price.
>>2326799
>Did anyone git anything gud for Xmas?
Yes. No progress and suffering. I love it
I got 50$ amazon gift card!
I'm looking for ideas: what would you buy?

Wew lad.

It's a mystery.
Got a Kindle Fire HD, anyone know a decent stylus for drawing on one of these?
>>2332034
I used to draw with one of those stylus that had the rubber on the end.... completely felt like drawing with an eraser. I got so mad that I went through the house searching for alternatives and surprisingly I found one. A AA battery(plus side) draws pretty well on screen.
Eventuallt I got a note 10.1 and I find it usable. You have to be really dedicated to use it because like the rest of note owners(phone and tablet) I works best for rough sketches and not necessarily serious peices, unless you are willing and it DOES take willpower.
So coming from my experience with drawing on tablets I assume you might be trying to use it for serious pieces as well. I just want to warn you, you might feel disappointed a bit.
Good Luck.
I still find it a problem there is no universal pressure sensitive stylus for tablets yet ipad has all the support (pencil, 53 paper, bamboo).
>>2332044
More or less I just want to use it for rough animations while chilling out. I have a cintiq for the serious stuff luckily.
By any chance did you try a dagi stylus? It's the one I'm looking at now, though 20 bucks is a bit steep for a stylus. Still, I'm willing to shell that out if it's decent.
>>2327123
I think you're a little confused on the concept of marriage and wife, anon.
>>2332059
Nice, never heard of it. Might not work with my Samsung note tablet.
My problem was that I was going to get an aftermarket S pen myself for my tablet because it had an eraser, but every review I read told how bad the offset was, So I eventually left it alone and kept drawing with this toothpick Samsung calls a stylus.
