Tsss. I love read you. And I know I'm not the only one !

Aw, thank you!

Come on over to the Poetry thread, we could use you. (Pleeease? Right now it's just Corncobman and occasionally me.)

I'd love to but when I say I can't write poetry I mean it - I simply don't know how to write that kind of thing. As it is I just sort of ramble into a word document for a while, don't proof read it properly and then shove it out there for people to see before I get cold feet

I woke up today at 8 AM (which by itself was weird since my sleeping schedule is all kinds of wonky) with a huge urge to draw. So I did. Annnnnnd now I have a plan to build myself a tracing desk.

I used to draw a lot, but around 7 years ago I just... stopped? I haven't felt this kind of a desire for drawing in years, but I guess I'll start with trying to find some nice reference pics and learning anatomy. I can draw faces I'm fine with, but bodies... ahaha. Ha. Haha. Nope.

// Edit: Turns out Copic Markers don't dry out even if you don't use them for several years. On the other hand, most of my ink is useless, I've lost my nibs and inking pens and I can't find a single decent eraser. I foresee an art shop trip in the near future.

*shifts* Um. Well. *shifts again* I was planning to do just that D: Well, once I get the hang of this and can draw more than like three faces so I can start doing somewhat recognizable fanart. My scanner sucks, though, so I'll have to look into where I could scan any pictures that aren't black and white.

Oh yes, this fandom does this to people.
I glanced into the crystal ball and saw your future: you go to the art shop to buy a single eraser, but you come out with a bunch of art supplies. And this won't be the last time you visit that shop.

You say that as if there are other possible outcomes to visiting an art store...

If I ever write anything that isn't embarrassingly shippy, I'll dump it over there, I promise.

The traps of the city have multiplied. Before I only had to be careful around yarn and books, not I need to be careful around EVERYTHING tangentially art-related. D:

I'm interested in these embarrassingly shippy things you speak of.

I feel you. And on top of artsy places you can add teashops, and artisan chocolate shops, and...

Just saw this ad on TV, and am hoping it's not a prediction of today's comic!

[Helia]

Cities with all kind of tempting shops are dangerous - especially for your purse...
The imaginary map of Budapest in my head is marked with "favourite yarn shop" "second favourite yarn shop" "emergency yarn shop" "best pens and markers" "watercolour supply" "good drawing blocks here" "stuff for handmade jewelry" and so on...

Wow! I sure hope that doesn't happen either, we've had enough suspense this week! Imagine just waking up from a ghost attack and running into a giant!

Guys, you know what's the worst thing about this? I live in the city centre. So all of these shops are within a walking distance from my flat. D: So I'm in a true peril.

Same here, & this has all reminded me that I must visit the nearest embroidery shop before I leave town Saturday, they have so many kinds of sparkle/shimmer/effect floss ... We are hazards to ourselves.  ♪♫・ﾞﾞ・*:.｡(´・ω・`)｡.:*・ﾞ♪♫♡

One of these days I will give in and start drawing again. One of these days. And all of you artsy people will have to take responsibility for it. ;p

I think you've already read most of the complete ones, as they were posted on tumblr. I'm nooooot 100% confident in my poetry these days, as it's been ages since I've written it much. Hence the 'embarrassing' qualifier. ;p But anyway, it's easy to find on my writing journal. /lazy shrug
