Hmm, Bleach is good, but Ichigo's name sorta freaks me out, as the first anime/manga Ichigo I ever heard of was Ichigo Momomiya, a pink catgirl who leads a sentai team in Tokyo Mew Mew. Her name means Strawberry, and, needless to say, a boy called Strawberry makes you really wonder what his parents were thinking. :)

FURUBAAA!!!! *squeals* I love Momiji too! He is SO cute! :D I've never heard of Fate-Stay Night, but I'll have a look. :) And Elfen Lied's theme...oh, I love it! I've heard it before, and it's simply amazing.

DUBBED?! No, not dubbed!!! AT least, not for Negima...the dub really badly sucks. Negi's english voice gives me nightmares. It's horrible...he's supposed to sound CUTE and NAIVE, yet mature in a lot of ways, not like Jake from the Tweenied with a crap English accent!!!

We're off topic, btw :eek:.

So, art...not much Pellinor fanart nowadays...tis so sad. There used to be a massive deluge of it.:(

I stopped reading Furuba after Tohru picked Kyo. Not that it didn't make sense, but Yuki's always been more fascinating to me. Also, it took out a HUGE amount of tension and drive in the series. Although there were still a lot of mysteries. But I was never motivated to pick it back up after like the 14th one.

I'm still only on the 11th one, because my library doesn't have any past it and I can't be bothered to read it online, knowing that I have an absolutely MASSIVE reading list, both manga and book...And I've still got to catch up with almost 200 chapters of Negima...

But I know what happens at the end, so not a spoiler for me. Yeah, I like YukixTohru better as well, although KyoxTohru CAN be very, very cute. But Yuki is just so interesting and mysterious, and I think that both of them need Tohru about equally...meh. I like TohruxMomiji too, for some inexplicable reason. :D Same sort of thing with NegixChachamaru, I like them together even though it's never gonna happen (it's so obvious that Asuna or Nodoka will get Negi...even though I support both those pairings) and what feelings there are are Chachamaru's well-hidden crush on Negi and Negi's respect for Chachamaru as a fighter...:D There's a lot of couples I support like that.

Ahhh, i havenīt talked about fruits basket in ages (attempting to remeber when i finished it...at the end of year 9-start of year 10) but out of Tohru+Kyo and Tohru+Yuki I think i back Tohru and Yuki more...

mainly because he is that much more mysterious and is always a gentleman, and when he is a rat he is so darn adorable ;)

Kyo is too angsty for me, though he is hilarious when he gets angry at Yuki.

Darn, really straying off topic now...will shut up...

now :D

Sorry :o We got a little off topic.

I just use pencils, just your regular old graphite, mostly just use 2B and 6B leads. Also erasers (of course) and blending tortillons.

There's nothing that's really THE BEST, but if you're going for realistic drawings, I'd say start with pencils & tortillons. But everyone has their own style and way of making art.

Aha. Off-topicness is one of my specialities, and I'm afraid it is mostly my fault. :D But sorry. :)

I haven't got a scanner, so I'm not really known as a fanart person, but when I do do art, I generally use some pencils all the way from H to 8B, because I like making my life complicated. Also, a rubber and sometimes a fineliner, but generally not. :)

Kool...I have sketch pencils...H to 8B... and colored pencils and pastels and watercolor paints and regular pencils and erasers adn ummm what else.....*thinking*....oh yeah and I have this sandpaper stuff that is awesome for blending and I have something else but I cannot remember what it is. I guess I just have to try all of them our until I find the one thing I like best.

Oh and what is a tortillon exactly, I have heard of them but I cannot remember what it is...I know its for blending but other that that I am stuck...
