Thank you! I'm glad you like my work. Though I feel sad for not being able to draw that often anymore and ever further still, lacking ideas to draw. There's that missing from my life. I've definitely improved since the beginning when I first got on dA.

Yup, yup. FINALLY... It's taken long enough, I'll say. Everything just been crazy lately. And never enough time to draw very much but I'm really trying to get some drawing time in at least a half hour each day. I'm improving a little bit...

I'm sure you have some recent deviations too, they're in my million messages on dA. All that art really stacks up on you. Then before you know it...!!BAM!! There's pages and pages to go through.

But I'm glad you like my work sweetie. And super gratiful that you left me a comment. I still wanna collab with ya. You wanna to do the lineart? Or the coloring? And what or who of? Or perhaps a random hot guy(S) er somethin'. Bwahahaha!

I feel the same way too! I've only had time to do a few things in the past months. It's convention season, and it takes me about a week just to do one finished piece anyway!

2 days away from DA usually = about 500 messages O_O

Yesh! Collab. I shall do the lineart? Do you like Hetalia? ireallyhopeso!

Okies! You do the lineart and I'll color it! Yayz Hetalia! Woot woot!

Yesh...I miss drawing but them again my work keeps me too busy for thinking much on it.

I gotta get the booster thingys for my markers and refill them. I have the inks but no way to put it in the copics. I'll be getting them soon!

Yup. That sounds about right with the messages. @w@ It's worse if it's longer then that.

yayy!!

the booster thing isn't crucial to marker refills. I don't use one. It does take a lot longer to drip it into the end of the marker but I'm so cheap haha

What you do is uncap the medium broad end of the Copic markers, then just drip in drops of the refill ink onto the nib squeezing a little out at a time. It does take a while but it gets the job done. Be careful not to overfill though, or it'll drip out everywhere and ruin your drawing

Okies! Sounds great! I can't wait to color your lineart!

I'm gonna give the refill idea a try. It's going to take a lot longer for me to get them. Get paid, deposit money in bank, order, wait for order, then refill. Like a week er so. When this might only take patience an few hours. I've got 8 to refill and it's mostly flesh tone, and base colors.

I'll let you know how it goes!

Only 8 to refill? I had to refill like 15!
Good luck though, it does take patience

I'll be refilling moar when I can afford moar ink. Right nao I'm broke cus rent is due again and bills. *dies But it seemed easy enough when I did it. How do you know you have enough ink in the markers tho? I just kinda guessimated. It seemed to be ok. I haven't tried to use them yet. I guess I'll have to draw something and give it a go.

Ja, poorness sucks

If you have one still that's pretty full then you can judge by the weight. If it's streaky empty then usually 1-2ccs(little markers/lines on the bottle) of the ink should be good for another few pics. It's better to underfill and have to refill more often than to overfill and waste precious expensive ink

Yup Damn bills *shot
My refilled markers seemed pretty weight bound, so I'm not too worried. And I rather be underfilled too then dump the ink everywhere, needlessly. My precious copi,copiys. Psh, my poor art. Haven't done a thing in a lifetime, feels like. Always too tired from work. Long days,long days.

Ugh I know what you mean, I feel like I haven't had a day to myself in weeks. And I don't even have school or a regular job! I have been wanting to at least sketch a few things, Germany and Russia, but I've just been so tired at the end of the day... maybe soon though... I hope! ...
