WOOT. Go you!
Yeah, running out of materials suck. Digital art is cheaper/free which is fine with me. x3 Because I do black/white traditional art, I find digital art more fun for me. It's easier to correct a mistake digitally x3
To each their own. ;]

@moonlit dream:

Calculus is a total killer for the brain! D; Maybe it was just my preview teacher, but we'll see XD If you like math, AP Calc may be a good idea! (: I always hated Geometry and Trig and Calc XD Too much math XD And I guess that depends on what interests you (: At my school students only need 6 Science credits which means they can end at the end of Junior year lol. What kinds of science interests you? O: That your school has, of course XD And thanks! :D

Ah! As far as I know, those all sound so you XD For Math, it depends exactly what you mean to go into that haha. I like all the ideas, though! (: And I know you play a strings instrument (can't remember which one right now >.< Was it Violin or Viola? D;) Ahh! Good luck in choosing and finding out what you wanna do (: I know you'll choose well. You're smart! X3
I'm planning to major in Mechanical Engineering-Mechatronics X3 And I'm told I'm allowed to major in more than one thing, so I'm still deciding what I really want to do as another major X3 As for minors: art and english. And I'm deciding about Bioengineering, Computer science, and Architecture XD My music directors are pressuring me about music, but I donno haha. Sorry, I just made everything seem a little more complicated, I think :'D

@fire.freak:

Oh, but I want to take AP calculus next year. xD I kind of like math... Idk what science to take next year, though.
You have fun, too! :D And good luck! Again.

Um.... Well, I want to study art, Japanese, and music... and probably Math. And maybe English because I like writing. But I'm not sure what I'm majoring/minoring in yet. How about you?

@moonlit dream:

UGH. AP classes give so much work DX I'm taking AP Calculus and Physics this year DX DONT MAKE THE SAME MISTAKE YOUR SENIOR YEAR, BRO! Just dont D; Lol. Anyways, I hope you have some fun in your classes! (: I hope you have awesome teachers, too :V

Do you have any ideas on what you plan to major/minor in, in college? O:

@fire.freak:

I get summer homework for AP/college level classes... I'm taking AP English Language (either that or English Literature, I don't remember...) and AP US History. Dx

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Oooh, that's a lot. :o Nice going!

@moonlit dream:

Uhh...how many...? *goes and counts* About 21...though I'm not exactly sure since I'm terrible at counting...;m;

@moonlit dream:

XD That's ok *pats* I'm just surprised that summer homework is still given out o3o I havent had summer homework in years owo;

@fire.freak:

I'm terrible with time management... xD

*GASP* Summer homework?! D; Pffft you had all summer, you XDD And school starts tomorrow for you lol. Silly :P

@Wakusei Aoshi:

Yup, AP US History. :d

It's more than I've done in a long while. xD how much did you draw this summer?

Thanks for all the info, actually! xD I need to know this stuff before I think about buying them.

Agh, you had to do History IDs over the summer, too? I find it interesting that schools seem to do the same things when it comes to AP classes...wait...you're taking AP, right?

Ah, counting all that you've done this summer is smart of you. You can really see how much you've done. I think that's a great amount!

Agh...the pain! ;m; I hate it when materials run out! *depress* *depress* I feel bad for you!

And normal copics are similar to Prisma Colours when talking about the nibs, so they're good for solid colouring, but if you want softer colouring then COPIC sketch is the way to go. For me, I like COPIC sketch better because I like the brush nib, it's easier to colour with. COPIC Ciao markers are basically the same at COPIC sketch, just less ink (APPARENTLY, but they're lasting longer than my COPIC sketches...O.o;).

I heard that you should buy your COPICs online because the quality won't be as good at stores. Something about less ink because they test it, but with buying online you get it directly from the manufacturers, so they're not tainted or something like that...XD

And COPICs are usually sold individually, there are a few packs for them (that increase in sizes, you don't really get to choose the colours), but I guess most of those are sold online. On DICK BLICK it seems all they have are the individual markers, so it's a bit nerve wrecking picking out the right marker...(kinda want to buy them all).

And COPICs are very expensive because you're buying them for the quality. From all the other markers I've used I definitely think they're the best just because of how well they blend and how nice they look when dried, as a opposed to Prisma Colour Markers which dry kind of watery and are harder to blend.

(Yo, sorry for talking so much about COPICs! ;; )

@moonlit dream:

That's a good way to look at it haha.
You're welcome!

That might be why, man. You're paying for the case.
Ahaha maaayybe! >:D

@arcticwulf:

It's not too much... I think. xD Thanks for the encouragement!

It's the same brand, except it's not in this fancy case thing, so it costs less. xDD IDK. You might be on to something though, Dana...

That actually sounds like a lot of homework haha
Good luck with it! :D

Aw yeah new pens. I love the feel of a fresh new pen on paper.
Wow $10 cheaper for the same brand? Maybe it's like..supposed to be not as good. Or maybe it's like the Toyota/Lexus thing. Where a Lexus is a Toyota that's just overpriced and 'fancy' for people who want a car like that.
Maybe the more expensive pens are like that haha.

@Allie Elric:

Thanks! :) (I JUST FINISHED THE IDENTIFICATIONS. YESSS. ;w;)
It's craaaazy. Dx And what's worse is when you run out of a color, you have to buy another marker... ugh. xD;;; Digital art is so much less expensive; you just have to pay once for the program, and that's it! xD And if you're using GIMP, it's free. xD But I just find traditional art more fun...

@Kaerlyn:

I wish I knew the answer... and since I don't have a job yet, I always feel so guilty when I ask my dad to buy them for me. xD;;

Good luck in school and schoolwork!
I never get what you're saying when you talk of art supplies.x3 That's what I get for being a digital person. 6 dollars each is nuts.

Good grief, why are pens so expensive?!
