I'm curious BG, what part of drawing your artpieces takes you the longest, the penciling, the inking, or the coloring? For me I guess it's the penciling, I always have to stop and look the piece over several times before I go threw with the inking. Yes the penciling as well for me, but full picture coloring was a nightmare last time I tried it and the longest task. The inking seems to go pretty quick with me, maybe once or twice I messed up a piece slightly here or there but nothing too major. |

Do you draw more than one art piece on each sheet of paper? I usually can get at least two pieces per 9"X12" unless it's really big.

Sounds like your saving paper or you don't have many toss aways. I only do one pic per sheet and lately it has been very bad.  |

How's your Prismacolor's holding up? Have you had any markers go dry?

You recently said that your art pad is fulled, have you bought a new one? If so, what is the size? I'm always going through these Stratmore 400's.

Well I recently bought another spiral sketch diary from Kmart for only 3.50 but it is in Medium weight drawing paper and all my old ones were in Heavy weight drawing paper. I did the Claudius piece in the new book and had to be really careful when coloring, it did bleed when I colored the feathers on him which I hardly ever have that problem with the heavyweight paper. When I find another heavyweight sketch book I'll be sure to get it but it looks like they discontinue selling them at Target. |

Ah Prismacolor' markers. I had about 200 of 'em when I was in High School. Sadly my nephew "borrow" them and let them dry out. I think I still got a few arround some place. I loved to color with 'em because the way they blend with each other.

I guess between the Prismacolor, Pantone, Copic, and other misc. markers, I have about 200 or so, with some duplicate colors. Any reason why you gave them up? |

They stop selling them were I bought 'em. By the time I started to work on my Criminal Justice BA I had almost no time to draw. |

BG, did you get another grade of paper? I remember you didn't like your current pad.
Also, do you keep your art in any special place, such as a folder?

All of my art pieces are in a spiral binders and no I don't like the new binder that I have cause it is in medium weight paper which is alot weaker than the heavyweight paper I have always used. The medium paper bleeds too easy and breaks to easy when I erase and I've looked around for a heavyweight binder but can't find one. It appears that no company is interested in making a quality binder anymore.  |

Their 80lb. does well for me thus far, www.dickblick.com/zz103/16/ |

I may go this route if I continue not to find what I'm looking for.
