Hello, how are you? In what is happening to this world right now, sometimes treating ourselves once in a while is a good thing.
I promise myself not to be hard on myself sometimes, one thing that always makes me feel better and best is buying art materials that I like, not just like, but needed, but sometimes like LOL.
So yeah, an online shopping platform always has a free shipping voucher, which means time to order again. I really like to order in bulk because sometimes they get delivered all of them one time, which is good.
So yeah, I am going to show you all the art materials and crafts I ordered for this sale.
All My Orders:
Let's Unbox!
All of the packages delivered to me are all black, black pouch and black bubble wrap, which I saw is cheaper and stronger, like others.
This first order, I saw one of the watercolor artists I love used, and at first, oh, I don’t like this, and one time I use for my graphite portrait, I was like I needed this LOL. This is a retractable eraser which perfect for highlighting graphite and for erasing smaller portraits.
I bought a refill along with it in case I like it. I still didn't open it. I'll save it for later.
I used it for a pencil portrait to add the highlight, just like I did on the photo.
Next is the pencil extender and gel pen.
For the pencil extender, I have this pencil that I cannot use anymore because it is too short for my hand to hold. Now that I have a pencil extender, I can use it until only the tip remains. Mind you, a graphite pencil is not cheap, I need to enjoy it until the last LOL.
This gel pen, I bought two because last time I bought one, I ran out of it, I like to use to my watercolor painting for highlights. Here is a swatch on my hand.
For this order, I bought a mechanical pencil and a refill.
The usual thickness of a mechanical pencil is 0.5, which is a common one, and then I got curious about what the 0.3 one feels like to draw using it. I like to draw small portraits, so I got excited and ordered one.
Look how thin it is from 0.5. I tried it before, and the lead I bought is pretty fragile. In the future, I might order some high-quality lead.
The next art material I bought is this Pentel AIN 0.5 HB lead refill.
I keep hearing good things about this, so I decided to buy one for myself, because the cheap one I bought is too fragile and too smudgy. This one has a cool way to open it, so plus a to the container.
I'm glad I invested in it now. It took me a while to finish one lead.
This is how the swatch looks, I like to use HB because it universal type of value LOL.
I bought this one because I thought I would need it, but I was wrong LOL.
This one is the classic container of the Pentel AIN. I bought one in 0.5mm in value 4H, one of the lightest shades. Perfect for sketching due to its lightness. I am thinking about how I am going to finish this, maybe I can use it more.
Next is I bought an X-Acto knife and a lot of refills.
I've been loving clay craft, so I invested in an X-Acto knife and refillable blades, which will save me a long time buying refills again, which is good.
The blade is sharp and very useful.
Lastly, are these disposable gloves.
Bought for when I am using UV Resin for less messy and it is cheap, so I bought this extra, and it is perfectly fit on my hand because you can choose the size of your choice.
See my next unboxing :D
