It just gives me more control as I’m often drawing very fine details with a hard lead which requires pressure to make the line darker😅 but for the apple pencil I found using a very thick grip allows for an easier posture so I’ve been trying to find one for regular coloured pencils too.

Thanks! I use arches watercolour paper - hotpress 300gsm, paints are schmincke horadam, holbein and daniel smith watercolours, brushes are holbein black resable series 700R.

It’s a great synthetic sable brush called “neosable” made by pentel, size zero round. It’s got a nice springy feel and durable against lots of mixing! 😊

@@natalie.illustration thanks! I appreciate you answering! I’ll have to check those brushes out!

Thanks as always! 😊🎶

Happy to hear that! Thank you😊🎶

Thank you😄🎶!!!

Thanks for your kind comment and appreciate you watching! 🎶😊

Thanks so much! ☺️🎶 It was a fun one!

Cool! I wonder if they have a front facing version too 😀 it was interesting to see it only available in profile view.

Aww thanks for the kind words 😊 appreciate you watching! 🎶

Thanks so much! All the best to you too☺️🎶

The flea market is usually every Saturday and Sunday at Oi Racecourse 大井競馬場 (it’s a horse racing venue) and the flea market happens in the parking lot. You can double check their instagram account Tokyo City Flea market for their official dates (as they may cancel due to weather). The drawing supplies vendor had some truly wonderful pencils for maybe just 200yen a box. He doesn’t seem to be always there though so hope you can find something! Regardless its a super fun experience. Enjoy your trip! 🎶😃

@@natalie.illustration Thank you so much for your kind reply! I hope to be able to go! 😊

Thank you! That’s very kind of you😃🎶 appreciate you watching!

Aww thank you Kat! I appreciate the advocacy in your videos too🙌!!! I actually first came across the blue brushes in HK, they are synthetic sable brushes (good for gouache and acrylics) called “pentel neo-sable”. It’s got soft bristles but holds its shape well and comes in flat and rounds. One of my faves 💕

Thanks for watching!🤓💕 yay to workflow emails! Wishing you all the best with future negotiations too!

Yes for sure! I love talking about those haha🤣. For a very thin and sharp line: mitsubishi hard 7700, ちゃいろ brown 21. For a softer lead but darker line: mitsubishi 880, こげちゃいろ burnt umber 22.

INFJ 🙌💕!! I feel uncertain and anxious emotions strongly and then I need a logical structure to make sense of it all 😅. I think heading into a new career it helps to gather as many resources as you can - in the case of illustration, would be to equip yourself with knowledge of the terms and conditions. All the best! 🤓

Thank you! I’m glad I could share some helpful thoughts 😄 have a nice day🎶

Aww thanks so much!!! ☺️💕I’m glad you found the info helpful. There are so many resources and art inspiration in Japan I hope to share more while I’m still here🎶

🤓💕

Thank you 😛! I think each painting took me about 4 days so maybe 25-35 hours. I know there are digital watercolour brushes on the market but I could never quite get the same effect as a scanned traditional watercolour. For work that is primarily digital but I still want the traditional watercolour effects, I will select certain parts of the painting and complete it traditionally - it sort of tricks the eye into thinking the rest of the digital portions feel more traditional. On my videos its usually fully traditional with very little digital touchups but for client work especially branding work with a high revision rate I found it more convenient to work digitally with just hints of traditional to preserve my style. Hope that answered a bit. That’s a great question to explore further in another video too. Thanks for the idea😊🎶!!

@@natalie.illustration No worries! thanks for the detailed response. Quite some time huh.. Haven't done watercolor traditionally and started directly digital. Tried those watercolor brushes and cant seem to figure out the right opacity and crisp texture of the outside of each stroke if that makes sense. I'll be hovering around once you've released that video in the future 🙌. Thanks again!

Hmm…perhaps trying digital gouache brushes will better retain a crisp edge. I tried the maxU gouache brushes for procreate before but maybe the default procreate dry brush could add some harder texture too.🤓

Aww oookkay, haven't checked gouache brushes... By checking some gouache tuts online it seems like this will do the trick. I might as well try and experiment with it.

Thanks so much for the encouraging comments! Appreciate you watching😊🙌

Aww thanks☺️! I’m interested in trying out crayons too but haven’t really had a chance to explore that yet. Sometimes especially for client work I’ve been doing illustrations fully digital too. I’m reading the card captors “clear card” series! I got more interested after going to a CLAMP exhibition recently~

Thanks so much! I'm thrilled to hear that! :)

I use a mix of schmincke horadam, holbein and daniel smith 🙂🎶 all of them are artist quality paints with amazing pigments so i highly recommend any of those brands💕

Thanks for watching this one too🙂🎶

Hope the tips are helpful 🙂thanks for watching! 🎶

Thanks so much🙂🎶🙌

Aww thanks! Glad you found my video 🙂🎶!

Thank you! That’s lovely to hear🙂 appreciate you watching!

Thanks! 🙂glad you enjoyed!

Aww thanks! 🎶 I guess from a self perspective I don’t see as big an evolution in myself so it’s nice to be reminded others do observe me levelling up🤣❣️

Wow that’s a wonderful list of supplies! Sennelier watercolours are gorgeous and flow really nice! I heard it has honey in the paints. I hope you get to try schimcke and daniel smith too🙂 I never heard of kalour so that would be fun to try! Recently I picked up clip studio paint on ipad and downloaded procreate dreams. Thank you for sharing! Appreciate you watching 🎶

Thank you☺️🎶! I’ve noticed Japan has a whole genre of comic storytelling books called “comic essay” and they can range from non-fiction, personal diaries and even how to books. I think it might be interesting to pickup some unique or strange art tools and make a video too🤣. Appreciate you watching!

@@natalie.illustration Oooo 😃 thanks for the tip about comic essays! I’ll check it the genre. And that would be a cool video to see more unique art tools! Thanks for the reply and sharing your at knowledge! 🫶🏼

Thanks so much! So nice to hear great feedback for my human characters too. I’m glad my videos can fill up your Japan travel content until your next trip🥰🎶 appreciate you watching!
