Woah! Thats cheap!! I really didn't know the pricing but i thought I'd be spending more like $150-200! I'm glad it isn't as much money, it'll be easier to just go and purchase then!
Yeah exactly! >3<
No problem at all!
I think that the bamboo wacam will be good for you then, it's simple and not really that expensive. I got mine at best buy for $60 or more bucks.
they really should include things like that, or else the DS would get ruined! @_@
Thank YOu again!!! XD
Thats great, it sounds really good! I heard from Panou that the Wacom ones are good too, and I'm thinking of just getting a smaller inexpensive one since I probably won't use it all the time either?
No problem, I'm so excited for you to get a DS!! I got your PM too and I'll reply later! Lol it looks like we're spamming each other again, we have so many conversations xD its fine with me though!
Yeah they should actually include a screen protector! I'll let you know if I think of anything else to tell you about the 3DS^^
lol yeah I think that the one I have was the cheapest and it's a relly good tablet, I really like it but I don't use it as much as I should! XD There are better one then the one I have but I think they'd be more expensive.
I really like the blue one and I think it looks more teal then blue but I like it anyways! XD Yes thank you very much for telling me about it and after researching it, I really like it so I'll see if I can get it! XD
Oh so the DS doesn't come with a screen protector? I think it was included but okay! I'll get one so the screen won't get wrecked! I better write that down! thanks for telling me! XD
Thankyou so much, King-sama!!! One comment from you is much appreciated and I'm honored that you commented!! No worries, I'm just glad that you like my art!! :DDD
Thankyou! I'm glad you like this drawing, the program is really awesome! I'm new to digital so its nice to get used to some tools without getting into a complex program like photoshop right away. A couple things I'm thinking of buying soon is a new laptop and tablet so maybe I can cg sometime!!
No no! Its not nonsense, I really loved reading your comment! Thankyou always, King-sama :D keep up the great artwork too!!
Ah! I think I've heard of those tablets! I should check out some asap, I wish I had been able to learn about them a little bit in school too >3< Oh the net is a good other option, I'll need to do some research then x3 I really want to get a tablet sometime!
OK, I'll probably stick to SAI then, and sketchbook pro sounds really neat too!
^_^ I'm glad I could help you out with the 3DS! YAY I'm really excited :D I'm really happy you're gonna get one!!! Blue is my favourite colour as well x3 The blue 3DS is nice, it almost has a teal shine to it? Oh also, you might want to look into a screen protector for the touch screen too! its funny, I bought a clear sticker screen protector once and I ended up using the backing of the sticker instead xD I still have it! It fits nicely but it falls off cuz its not sticky. The sticker ones work but I don't know the best ones. Its good to have the touch screen protected though especially if you're doing the art game! you don't want it all scratched up by the pen!
I do have a tablet, it's a Bamboo wabcam, it was pretty cheap, I got it 3 years ago but I don't use it much, but I really should!
when I started learning digital programs, it was confusing with the layers! I took a photoshop class in college and I was able to figure out stuff! XD but most of the time I just looked it up on the net.
I think it's easy to draw in Sai or sketchbook pro then it is to draw in photoshop.
lol it's funny I searched the 3ds some today and I learned more about it, most of the stuff you told me about though! and I really like it! I kind of want to get a blue one! I think that one looks pretty and blue's my favorite color! Or I might get a black one? I'm not sure yet!
Neat!! And do you have a tablet to use with it? Or you do do it with a mouse?
Ah >///< Thankyou! I think those big programs will overwhelm me a bit though! maybe its a good thing I got this game first and didn't just go get a laptop and then get myself confused with all the options in a digital program xD
YAY!!! I'm so excited :D You'll have let let me know the moment you get the 3DS!!! And have you seen the colour choices? I have blue, but there's these colours too. The purple is new and it looks pretty neat^^
Sketchbook Pro is meant for just drawing so it every easy to use and it's like drawing on paper! XD I really like the pencil tool in that so that's what I used to do most of the drawing, I used the brush tool to color big spots!
You're doing well doing your drawing game and I think you will do really good when you start doing bigger work on a program like Sai,photoshop or even sketchbook pro!
I think I've made up my mind about the 3ds, I think I will get it but I will wait to till I save up some money for it! XD
Thats cool :D You did really awesome on Zen with sketch pro, I actually thought it was partly traditional xD
LOL yeah! I'd never think my digital work could inspire xD I'm so new to it, I'd probably fail if I tried doing drawings on a larger screen like a computer. The 3DS keeps it simpler for me xD I'm still learning!
I hope you do more digital soon, I like your style :D
I read this comment before heading to bed the other night so thats when I sent you the PM about the 3DS. So I won't say much more now, I'll reply to the pm^^ I do hope you get the 3DS sometime though! :D
Yes definitely do so^^ I hope you can get them cheaper!
I actually worked over a overlaying picture that was already drawn. But the program also allows me to draw a sketch and take a picture of it and then re-line it and colour^^ So the program is pretty cool like that! aww I'm really happy you like it, izuzu! :D
I have a bunch of digital programs, but I mainly use sai, but I think I'm going to start using sketch pro, it feels like I'm drawing on paper!
lol it's funny, you digital art has inspired me, I'm working on a doodle of my new pokemon gijinka! I might have it done tonight? It's nothing to detailed though since my digital skills are really really rusty and I'm lazy! XD
I really want to check it out! I'm excited cause you introduced me to that drawing game and I really really want to try it, but other then that one, I'm not sure if I'll be playing many games? XD I might try pokemon and maybe give Zelda a chance too? I'm excited about it, but I need to research it some more, but from what you've told me it seems so cool and it's like you can do everything! I could probably ask my brother about it too since he seems to know a lot about games and game consoles? XD
Lol you should!! I like your digital work as much as your traditional! Itemilicious actually passed a link for free sai to me! So I might download it when I get my new laptop!
I'm so glad about that!! I really recommend it, its good for hard-core gamers or just casual gamers^^ Yeah Nintendo has a website with more info and then you can look at some reviews, let me know if you have questions! There's a neat Zelda game that I really enjoy, and I have the pet game Nintendogs xD I hear that Icarus Uprising it really good game but I've never played it. And there are Mario games. And also a free download with pokemon info and profile things! I'm sure there'll be some new games coming out soon too! Definitely check it out x3 I'd love if you got one sometime!
the game sounds like fun it's tempting me to go doodle something in sai?!! XD
wow the DS you told me about sounds really good and I really want to get it! But I'm not to sure yet cause I have to make sure I have enough money! XD Plus other then the Colors 3d game I want to see what other games I can get?
I would also love to check it out some more to! XD Thanks so much fr telling me about a little more about it! I'll go see if I can do some more research!!!! XD
Aw! :( I'm sorry that it didn't work for you... I wonder why! I hope its not disabled for everyone now O_o I must check this out!
Lol yeah, its digital! Its funny that everyone thinks it looks like copics! I wonder if its because copic works+looks like digital, or vice versa? Or maybe a certain way I drew it? x3 I'm gonna post some more 3DS art soon!
Ah! I'm glad you're interested in Copics! But yeah, phew.. They're definitely expensive! I got the Ciao type though, they're the cheapest. I heard a friend who saw a pack of 72 markers for $500 O_o But never spend that money on them, I didn't! I think its best to start with a small, affordable pack. And then just build your collection one by one. Thats what I did! I still spend a lot but it doesn't feel like my $ is going down the drain xD Either way, they are definitely worth it to buy them!
Cool! The program actually is more complex then I first thought, but there's only 5 layers so its simple too.
YES! Exactly! I've ended up ruining some of my digital pictures on the game because I forgot which layer was which! I found out how to fix it though so it wasn't so bad! xD
Awesome!! Yes, no problem! I've been buying the DSs since they came out and they've evolved now. I got the first two old ones. Here's a pic: Evolution. Don't get any of these though, they are all old!!
The nintendo 3DS is the latest installment. So far, its worked really well for me! It has all these features that the older 3 don't have. And the price has gone donw quite a bit since it came out. I was silly and bought it for $300 @_@ but now its under $200 uncluding tax.
So its obviously a system to play gamecards, but the 3DS has other features like an eShop to instantly buy little games including the Colours 3D game! (it gets transferred to your system immediately)
The 3D is a cool feature, but its good that it has a depth slider so you can turn the 3D to different levels or even turn it off if you want. The 3D is cool for games though!
It also has a camera installed (not the best quality) and a note-sending game that you can download for free and send notes over wifi!! I mostly use it for wifi, except be warned that you can't comment on theO.. you can only write emails and look at art. Sucks about no comments.
You can also read manga, but only on websites such as mangareader.com... they don't have to load as much! Its not too slow either.
Also, there's the top screen and bottom screen. The bottom screen is a touch screen.
Lol phew! Sorry for all the info! I hope its not confusing!! If you got a 3DS, it would be awesome though :D You could play the Colours 3D program and we could send written notes to each other! :D I highly recommend the 3DS now that is gone down in price and has lots more features added onto it!
It looks like that game is pretty similar to photoshop or sai since you said you worked in layers. Layers can be a little confusing but once you get us to them, it's easy, you just got to remember what's on which layer! XD
Lately I'm getting interested in getting a DS, would you mind telling me a little more about it? XD
Yes definitely! There's this scroll for the brush size and opacity. There's also the colour wheel for whatever colours your want, an undo/redo/copy/past button, zoom, colour-picker thing, and then 3D options too! The only thing that sucks is that the replay records only about 6 hours of work and after that, the undo button will only undo to your last save cuz of memory or something =_= That was a fact that slapped me in the face cuz I ended up getting confused and not saving my work properly Dx but now I've got a hang of it!
Yes it is lots of fun though! ^///^
I'm promising myself to email you in the summer and we can talk more, just like the good old days! XD
Yes! Lots of snow!! I'm almost finished it! You're making me sososo excited to post it!!!
Thankyou, my dear friend ^_^

Thankyou, Lea!!! I'm so glad you like my 3DS artwork!
And you know what? I keep telling everyone this cuz its amazing but its only an $8 download!! @_@ IT DESERVES TO BE AN ACTUAL GAMECARD!!!
Thankyou so much for checking out my other artworks too! I think they're not very good xP But I'm working on one that is a bit better now ^3^ I'll post that when I'm done!
Ah the lace! I almost forgot to add that before saving the finished work xD It didn't take me too long! I sorta just scribbled it on there xD But I was working of an overlaying ref pic so it wasn't as hard as it looks. Its a lot of fun colouring digitally though!!
thanks again, my friend!
Ah I see. So can you change the transparency/opacity or whatever of the colours? It seems really fun! And impressive as you only have a small screen to work on!
I know right? I missed it so much!! ^^ XD XD
so.. it's a snowy landscape?! aww I love snow XD XD now I can't wait for real XD
and coloring is good as well! XD it doesn't matter if you're tracing it XD
Thanks, Sera!! Kyaaah its so fun talking with you again! <3
I'm basing my landscape on this snowboarder going down a slope in the mountains *3* I love the pic! Its a little bit cheating to trace it like how I'm doing but its really fun to colour! :D
Yeah! Its a downloadable game on the 3DS and its only $8!!!! Well worth the money^^ even if you have to buy the 3DS too! I highly recommend it, and you'd be awesome on it seeing you have sick digital skillz! :D
Thankyou so much, Ryu! Glad you like it^^ I know right? It does kinda of look like copic work! I'll post some more 3DS art when I finish it :)
Thankyou so much, Sarah!! Yeah the game is a download on the 3DS and its only for $8!! Its pretty amazing for being so cheap!
I believe the price of the 3DS is going way down, I should have been more patient and purchased it now instead of right when it was released xD If you do get one though, I bet you'd enjoy this game a lot!
Thanks so much!
Btw I'm thinking of making that Zentangle challenge that you thought of in the summer! Sound good? :D
YAY!!!! HANATAN, YOU MADE ME SO HAPPY!!!! I'm really glad you like this and enjoyed the video! I'm making a new pic right now, I have some other ones too but they are kinda bad xP I'll post up my new ones when I'm finished! I'm really happy you like this!!!!! It was hard to do digital at first but now I'm enjoying it^^ its just distracting me from doing my manga T^T but I won't give up at all! Not when you're here with me, Hanatan!! :D Thankyou so much *hugs*
ahaha! I'm glad I make you happy with my comments XD XD and really, I can't wait to see the new landscape drawing you just said :D
and you're welcome! ^^
Yeah! it was drawn on a system like this: 3DS
The drawing can be seen in 3D too, if I draw on different layers. IN this pic, the girl was in the middle layer and I had layers in front with the petals and then layers in the back with petals and the tree. It confused me so much!! XD But I've got a hang of it now and I'm doing a fun landscape based on a ref pic. I'l upload that after too^^ Thankyou SO much again, Toya!
Thankyou, Anna! I was so glad to get this 3DS game, cuz I only use my 3DS for wifi stuff most of the time xD Now I can draw on it!
I really appreciate your nice compliments! I'm definitely gonna upload some more 3DS pics now ^_^
It actually does have layers but they work mainly with the 3D capabilities. But if I turn the 3D off, I believe I could use the layers just the same as Gimp! There's a limit of 5 layers though. The game is simple compared to Gimp but also has lots of options considering its only a little download game... at least its giving me a taste of digital! I'm really happy you enjoyed this pic^^
LOLZ! You made me laugh again ^///^ I'm so happy after reading your comments!! xD
I've actually got a hang of the program and I'm doing a landscape scene now! I can't wait to show it to you, I like how its turning out :)
Thanks so much again, Sera!! <3
Thanks again for the compliments, Ellen! I haven't been online since we last talked so I'm just getting your replies now!
I really loved what you uploaded the other day! man, I missed those lovely dragons of yours >u< So glad you're back!!
^///^ I'm so happy you think so! I struggled a bit at first with this digital program thing, but I'm having fun now! Its nice to have so many colour choices :D I'm feeling torn between copics and digital right now though, gotta get out of this mood xP
Thanks so much for your lovely comments, my dear!!
I need to learn some digital from you, cuz what I've seen in your portfolio, you've got a great digital style! I like it lots <3
I hope your painting turns out nice and that you'll post it too! And yes, draw Pabu!! I just had to google him since i haven't seen Avater: Legend of Korra yet, but he's definitely cute!!!!
Wow! Drawn on the 3DS with that program? That program must be really fantastic, since you drew so many amazing drawings on there! ^^
The colors are done so well and the lines so neat for a 3DS! The lace on her ribbon is also done so well! How long did it take for you to draw that lace? It's so detailed and perfect!

wow! you did this on a 3ds? when i saw this i thought this was one of your copic artworks. didn't know there where art programs like this on a 3ds, hehehe more reasons for me to buy a 3ds. anyway though this is an amazing stuff. nice work jen.
Wow that's really neat! And this is on the 3DS, eh? Dang, I should invest in one...hahaha I've spent too much right now, so it'll have to be another day...month...year.
Wow Jen! I didn't know the 3DS had an artsy side! You are so good! All the shading, I don't know how you did this but I am dead impressed. Do you work on different layers like in Gimp/photoshop? I look forward to seeing more :D it is fun to watch the re-play. Thanks for sharing~!
yeah, I'm fine now! ^^ and I hope everything will be over soon for real :) thanks for worrying ^^
and you're welcome! XD I'm really happy you appreciated my comment! ^^
and really... if you made THIS *points to draw* when confused, I can't even IMAGINE how amazing will be your art when you'll get used to it!! OAO seriously!!! XD XD
Thankyou SO much, Toya!!! I'm really glad you enjoyed this! I'll probably do some more drawings like this, I think the playback videos are neat to watch too x3 I'm glad the quality is ok, its really small when on my 3DS gameboy. Yeah, it does look like Copic! Thanks so much!!
Thanks, Sushi! That means a lot to me x3
Yes the game is only $8 too!! Its really brilliant, definitely get it when you can! my parents allowed me to finally use their mastercard for this since they saw that its a pretty secure shop. But getting the points card is a good idea too!
Haha lol, my housemate Lucia, an italian, always says that and I've kinda adapted that as well. Especially lately XD
Dahw thanks, your making me blush before I even posted my artwork! :P :O
I know right! Seriously you've become really good real quickly with digital art. I still kinda suck at doing line art digitally. If i start from scratch on the computer with drawing I usually just outline it all with colors (general shape of body etc) and then start filling in all the details. ANyways I was talking about you, not me lolz. I especially love the eye coloring as well, the eyes gleam.
Hehe I'll try and see if i can post at least one of em tomorrow. I'm still working on a painting, which started of with a bad color scheme but I somehow managed to change it and hope it works out nicely.
Thankyou, Stormy!! Yes, its $8 in the Eshop! I wanted it when it came out, but I never got a points card... eventually my parents just let me use their mastercard though^^ Its really an awesome program, with the 3D capabilities too! Its got lots of depth *pardon the pun* I can't believe it was so cheap!
Sera! Yay, you're online and seem fine^^ Thankyou for the lovely comment, I laughed so much and blushed lots xD I'm really glad you like this! Your comment made totally my day!! <3
It was hard at first and I felt like giving up when it gave me trouble, but after reading your comment I think I shall keep working on this game! Its really something^^ but its still confusing me a bit xD
ELLEN!!! *hugs* I saw your comment and flipped in excitement!! I miss you so much! I'm really glad you've come to visit and saw my artwork! :DDD Tahnkyou so much for the lovely comment^^
I was working off a little overlaying ref pic so I can't take full credit for the drawing, but I did the colouring! It means a lot to me to know that you love it and could tell that it was my work! even though it was digital and I haven't done much digital at all :)
YAY!! Yes, please post as soon as you can! I really want to give you a nice comment on it... I know I'll love it!
*hugs again* Talk to you soon, dear!
Ciao!~ (funny you say ciao, I've been saying that non-stop for the past couple of days xD)
Thankyou, Rose!! Yes, you should definitely get this! At first, it confused me big time.. but I love it! Its only $8 at the EShop! *You know you want it* :)
Heya Jen! Haha I immediately recognized this as your work when I browsed the fan art section :P It's really amazing and i'm having fun watching the drawing process, it's quite amazing how you build up the blue hair shading as well as her shirt.
Guess what? I've drawn something again! HA! Finally got my inspiration back in four months (xcept for that one human draw i did).
Hugs, probably will post some new work when i scan it or finish the drawing on the comp.

oh my goodness Manga! your digital drawing looks awesome! I thought it was copiuc until I read the disciption and I also looked at the video! really nice!!! awesome job!!!
Nice art. The colors here are so beautiful. The details on the girl and the background are beautiful. Amazing art as always. I love this! Great job Jen-kun.
OAO *is amazed* you.. did it.. with your.. 3DS?! but but but it's so AMAZING!! O_O the colors looks so nice and light... it's incredible, Jen XD you can do amazing things with everything! I bet that if I gave you a simple rock, you could turn it into something beautiful!! XD

Lol you should!! I like your digital work as much as your traditional! Itemilicious actually passed a link for free sai to me! So I might download it when I get my new laptop!
I'm so glad about that!! I really recommend it, its good for hard-core gamers or just casual gamers^^ Yeah Nintendo has a website with more info and then you can look at some reviews, let me know if you have questions! There's a neat Zelda game that I really enjoy, and I have the pet game Nintendogs xD I hear that Icarus Uprising it really good game but I've never played it. And there are Mario games. And also a free download with pokemon info and profile things! I'm sure there'll be some new games coming out soon too! Definitely check it out x3 I'd love if you got one sometime!

the game sounds like fun it's tempting me to go doodle something in sai?!! XD
wow the DS you told me about sounds really good and I really want to get it! But I'm not to sure yet cause I have to make sure I have enough money! XD Plus other then the Colors 3d game I want to see what other games I can get?

Aw! :( I'm sorry that it didn't work for you... I wonder why! I hope its not disabled for everyone now O_o I must check this out!
Lol yeah, its digital! Its funny that everyone thinks it looks like copics! I wonder if its because copic works+looks like digital, or vice versa? Or maybe a certain way I drew it? x3 I'm gonna post some more 3DS art soon!
Ah! I'm glad you're interested in Copics! But yeah, phew.. They're definitely expensive! I got the Ciao type though, they're the cheapest. I heard a friend who saw a pack of 72 markers for $500 O_o But never spend that money on them, I didn't! I think its best to start with a small, affordable pack. And then just build your collection one by one. Thats what I did! I still spend a lot but it doesn't feel like my $ is going down the drain xD Either way, they are definitely worth it to buy them!

Cool! The program actually is more complex then I first thought, but there's only 5 layers so its simple too.
YES! Exactly! I've ended up ruining some of my digital pictures on the game because I forgot which layer was which! I found out how to fix it though so it wasn't so bad! xD
Awesome!! Yes, no problem! I've been buying the DSs since they came out and they've evolved now. I got the first two old ones. Here's a pic: Evolution. Don't get any of these though, they are all old!!
The nintendo 3DS is the latest installment. So far, its worked really well for me! It has all these features that the older 3 don't have. And the price has gone donw quite a bit since it came out. I was silly and bought it for $300 @_@ but now its under $200 uncluding tax.
So its obviously a system to play gamecards, but the 3DS has other features like an eShop to instantly buy little games including the Colours 3D game! (it gets transferred to your system immediately)
The 3D is a cool feature, but its good that it has a depth slider so you can turn the 3D to different levels or even turn it off if you want. The 3D is cool for games though!
It also has a camera installed (not the best quality) and a note-sending game that you can download for free and send notes over wifi!! I mostly use it for wifi, except be warned that you can't comment on theO.. you can only write emails and look at art. Sucks about no comments.
You can also read manga, but only on websites such as mangareader.com... they don't have to load as much! Its not too slow either.
Also, there's the top screen and bottom screen. The bottom screen is a touch screen.
Lol phew! Sorry for all the info! I hope its not confusing!! If you got a 3DS, it would be awesome though :D You could play the Colours 3D program and we could send written notes to each other! :D I highly recommend the 3DS now that is gone down in price and has lots more features added onto it!

It looks like that game is pretty similar to photoshop or sai since you said you worked in layers. Layers can be a little confusing but once you get us to them, it's easy, you just got to remember what's on which layer! XD
Lately I'm getting interested in getting a DS, would you mind telling me a little more about it? XD

Yes definitely! There's this scroll for the brush size and opacity. There's also the colour wheel for whatever colours your want, an undo/redo/copy/past button, zoom, colour-picker thing, and then 3D options too! The only thing that sucks is that the replay records only about 6 hours of work and after that, the undo button will only undo to your last save cuz of memory or something =_= That was a fact that slapped me in the face cuz I ended up getting confused and not saving my work properly Dx but now I've got a hang of it!
Yes it is lots of fun though! ^///^

Ah the lace! I almost forgot to add that before saving the finished work xD It didn't take me too long!
I sorta just scribbled it on therexD But I was working of an overlaying ref pic so it wasn't as hard as it looks. Its a lot of fun colouring digitally though!!thanks again, my friend!

Yeah! it was drawn on a system like this: 3DS
The drawing can be seen in 3D too, if I draw on different layers. IN this pic, the girl was in the middle layer and I had layers in front with the petals and then layers in the back with petals and the tree. It confused me so much!! XD But I've got a hang of it now and I'm doing a fun landscape based on a ref pic. I'l upload that after too^^ Thankyou SO much again, Toya!

I really appreciate your nice compliments! I'm definitely gonna upload some more 3DS pics now ^_^
It actually does have layers but they work mainly with the 3D capabilities. But if I turn the 3D off, I believe I could use the layers just the same as Gimp! There's a limit of 5 layers though. The game is simple compared to Gimp but also has lots of options considering its only a little download game... at least its giving me a taste of digital! I'm really happy you enjoyed this pic^^

I need to learn some digital from you, cuz what I've seen in your portfolio, you've got a great digital style! I like it lots <3

The colors are done so well and the lines so neat for a 3DS! The lace on her ribbon is also done so well! How long did it take for you to draw that lace? It's so detailed and perfect!

I know right! Seriously you've become really good real quickly with digital art. I still kinda suck at doing line art digitally. If i start from scratch on the computer with drawing I usually just outline it all with colors (general shape of body etc) and then start filling in all the details. ANyways I was talking about you, not me lolz. I especially love the eye coloring as well, the eyes gleam.
Hehe I'll try and see if i can post at least one of em tomorrow. I'm still working on a painting, which started of with a bad color scheme but I somehow managed to change it and hope it works out nicely.
have a great day and see ya around dear! :D

Heya Jen! Haha I immediately recognized this as your work when I browsed the fan art section :P It's really amazing and i'm having fun watching the drawing process, it's quite amazing how you build up the blue hair shading as well as her shirt.
Guess what? I've drawn something again! HA! Finally got my inspiration back in four months (xcept for that one human draw i did).
Hugs, probably will post some new work when i scan it or finish the drawing on the comp.
