Copics are expensive, but I love them. Basically, I’ve used no other pens that even compare! So to make them last longer, and spend less on the many many colors they offer, I learned how to do some mixed media. This is kind of just a general tutorial… and honestly you can do it reverse too- copic base, and paints for the shading- whatever…

The point is that gouache can be thick, or thin, and this particular set of paints is very very vibrant- so it mixes well with copic markers! Plus, since I use a slightly less textured watercolor paper (and sometimes mixed media paper)the copics and gouache seem to blend pretty well since everything soaks into the paper a little. 

It looks lovely, and saves a little money on colors, definitely. This way, I was able for a long time to get by using copics with only a blender, a few pale colors, and a few supervibrant colors, until I could afford more. Watercolor might work well too, and I also use gellyroll pens and microns for lines, highlights, and later details and sparkles!

Give it a try & have fun!!

Shit people have forgotten about the Bush Era:

  • Free Speech Zones, which were a real thing and not a plot element in a particularly ham-handed dystopian novel.
  • The phrase “hidey hole.”
  • Watching a budget surplus become a massive deficit that was bigger than it even looked because the White House was just like, “Okay, we’ll just not put the wars on the books and just ask for more money for those every few months.”
  • The sheer number of times Alberto Gonzalez said, “I don’t recall,” to Congress regarding war crimes and human rights violations.
  • “…now watch this drive.”
  • Mission Accomplished.
  • “The absence of evidence is not the evidence of absence,” “yellowcake uranium,” Condoleeza’s “mushroom clouds” fearmongering, and all the other bullshit we were fed to get into Iraq.
  • The President of the United States said so many stupid things that there were one-a-day calendars consisting of an individual quote for each day of the year. They didn’t all have the exact same quotes.

“There are known knowns; there are things we know we know. We also know there are known unknowns; that is to say we know there are some things we do not know. But there are also unknown unknowns – the ones we don’t know we don’t know.”

And then we went to war.

“Tonight I ask you to pass legislation to prohibit the most egregious abuses of medical research: human cloning in all its forms; creating or implanting embryos for experiments; creating human-animal hybrids; and buying, selling or patenting human embryos.” - George W. Bush, 2006 State of the Union

Okay, that’s the best one.

Bush watched that Batman Beyond splicing episode and had nightmares for a week

was it hidey-hole? i thought it was spider-hole.

lord-kitschener

Yeah, it was spider-hole

I think my favorite was how we un-ironically referred to a whole set of countries as the “Axis of Evil” as if that phrase gives us some kind of meaningful understanding of their geopolitical role and isn’t borrowed straight out of a mediocre made-for-TV superhero movie.

And then there was:

We literally got a terrorism forecast on the news every morning like it was pollen. So many of the things that happened, if they were in a dystopian novel, people would be like, “That’s way too goofy and ridiculous to actually happen in real life,” and yet they did.

THE LAST ONE’S REAL?

Not only was the terror threat system real, but it was often raised and lowered based entirely on how panicked they wanted us to be. Famously they raised the level for no reason during the 2004 election.

Also, “Free Speech Zones” looked something like this:

It was literally a cage.

I genuinely forget that people, even within my own age group, has forgotten the Bush era since they were teenagers and below the voting age at the time, and so forgot how fucking horrifying it was.

Hi guys!
I’m sorry that there was no updates last two weeks: I’m worked a lot and didn’t have time for any drawings (except some old commissions, which I drew only in the evenings).
And now… Damn, I don’t want to ask you for help again, but most of my friends told me to do so. I don’t want to looks like Skyline (I thing you’re heard about him). But I’m really need help again.
This month I earned two-thirds of the required amount to pay fucking rent, but this is not enought. I thought that I’ll can earn 90$ last three days, but that’s wasn’t succesfull (I really thought that I can earn all required amount to pay rent). So now I have only two days to find 90$. Yes, only two fucking days.
Maybe someone want commissions? I really need them now.
And no, I don’t ask you for donation: I don’t want to be like Skyline. I need only commissions.
P.S. Sorry to bother you. I don’t want to do that.
(and yes, I had no idea which image I can post there)
(And over 100 people unfollow me last week)
