Just bought some supplies from Jetpens.com which were my first ever manga supplies in my life, spent about 30-35 dollars on all of them which would probably last me 2-5 years, suspecting that I won't be drawing all year round since a. Full Time School Student b. not planning to be mangaka as career and c.[S] too lazy[/S] //shot no, actually I would be drawing manga digitally

And now a showcase! (whatever that is.... I don't even know what it means :fail:)
Anywho....

Minor typo by the way, on the fourth item was meant to say 'maru' instead of 'mar' pen

Didn't buy any paper due to my lack of a budget :cry:
But at least I have my sketchbook to ink on and what not. :thumb:
Besides, it's just for inking pictures, not really making a manga (traditionally)
Just hoping I don't break anything on the first day :point:

Mmm.... A lot of new age comic and manga artists are using micron pens. I personally prefer them, but eh. Nubs are fun too

Much better control with felt tip or brush pens, but personally nothing beats the quality of ink and nibs. Though I feel like you could have gotten some india ink and nibs for much cheaper at an art store? Or just some micron sakura pens since you draw predominantly digital stuff?

Well the ink and nibs and stuff are just mainly for inking my full page sketches that I do and I sketch a lot. I didn't want to go with the micro pens since well, I just wanted to try out the old fashion way though I might try the micro pens later on. Oh and there is like only 1 art store around my area and they don't really have the things I need.
