2012 still lifes + POSCA under the test

All of my 2012 quick still lifes in one place :). Not enough, I should practice more, I know.. but hey, I'm just starting with digital painting. Need to get my still life drawing to become a daily routine.

I've got few Posca markers from HobbyCraft prize and decided to test them out on my old red not-realle-a-converse shoes. Let see if those little drawings will really survive all the hardcore walking and awful weather :)! 'Hello' monster made without much thinking, my planing is so bad hahaha!

One more thing - I'm back to regular blogging on my DFGA blog and this term is animation and game art modules (which I was waiting for!) so make sure you check that one regulary too :) (since am trying to avoid double posting)!

::marker mania::

For the first time ever I decided to take some shots of markers I use to draw my weird and crazy characters :) My collection of markers keeps growing slowly, not only Copics but also other brands like: Lyra, Dovercraft, Papermania (I got massive set of those dual-tip watercolour markers and I have to say : they are really good! thin, brush-like tip & fineliner tip for drawing awesome details).

 Simply, I just love buying and testing new markers and fineliners. Speaking of which, I recently bought 0.1 fine line pen brand Snowman and it is really good. Moreover, is better than Faber-Castell. Not as awesome as Sakura Micron. Berol and Sharpies for large black areas and Uni Pen white marker for nice spots and splashes ;) ~

Paper wise - I still use Letraset Bleedproof Marker Pad. Mostly because I can put sketch underneath sheet of marker paper and just trace it without worrying about lack of light table ;) yes, that's how thin it is (70g/m2). I also have some Canson bristol paper but it is too precious to use it. Scared of ruining good sheet of paper, lol. 

That's all when it comes to my silly talking. If you have any questions or suggestions just leave a comment and I will try to answer them :).
