I can barely stand Acryllics. Oil takes too long to work;

and Watercolor Pencils are fun. (More fun anyway)
I boguth a pack of 72 for 50 dollars !!

I only used acrylic at school, I liked the vibrance of the colors over the way cheap watercolors generally turn out, always too much water. ._.

Your problem right there. If you aren't renting out your kidneys to pay for this shit, you ain't getting the right stuff.

I don't hate acrylics if I can work in washes, but I'd still rather smear around a stylus-full of pixels. I think I like the way oils blend all yummy-like and stay workable more than acrylics, which dry too damned fast even if I drown them in retarder fluid (nnnnnng) and end up as plastic before I get half of it off my palette onto board (nnnnnng), but I can't imagine working with oils without my own proper studio space on assignment timetables concurrent with several other projects.
So, acrylics. I must say I am itching to break out of the shackles of wet media--no, physical media--for assignments; afterall, I plan to work digitally professionally.

In conclusion: buy thicker paper, dude. Or, better yet, get some illustration board.

Ast: Oil are the opposite of Acryllic

They take FOREVER to dry. The worst part of Oils was the fact i could be inhaling toxins at any point many times while working.


Wed. Im gonna be buying "Watercolor" Paper.

Yeah, acrylic takes a long time, I think it was said that some of the more famous acrylic paintings have some wet paint underneath still.

Thats Oil champ.

Acryllics dry in 10 minutes. (Estimate; but pretty fucking close)

Eh, ignore me, I have no idea what the hell I'm talking about when it comes to paint, I just like how acrylic turns out. ._.

I like my tablet.

It so dry, yet smooth, and the paint cleans off perfectly if I make a mistake.

Well aware of that, as I've painted with oils several times before. Joo misunderstand my post? ;>

But, yeah, the fumes are delicious. I don't mind the smell of the paints so much, or even turpenoid, but whooowee the medium I've used will knock you flat.
