Oh master of pencils give me some advice I've been trying to find proper paper for colored pencils but I'm struggling a little. Copic papers don't seem to grab enough color but I'm finding it hard to produce a smooth surface with the more heavy, mildly textured papers. Is it just a matter of patience? I'm using Canson Mixed Media paper and I also got some Fabriano Academia paper which also has a mild surface texture. Both are 200mg papers.

Haha, 'master of pencils'? I wish!
Anyway, proper paper for coloured pencils, hmmm... personally, I only use Bristol paper (the smoothest I can find), the Canson ones are nice (it's the orange packaging over here). Thing with coloured pencils is that they handle a lot differently than graphite - you can't just gently shade things, you need to push down on them if you want to get a decent effect. Sharpen them often so you don't have to ruin your paper by pushing.
I have to say though, I'm not the best person to ask for advice when it comes to equipment, since all I use is a single 2B pencil, a cutter knife, a kneaded eraser and a box of regular kiddie coloured pencils, always on bristol paper... but I find that combination works for me

Thanks I actually just ordered some Canson Bristol Graphic paper. The selection is rather pathetic here in Finland. And I absolutely love kneaded eraser.

Oh yeah, don't draw with a regular eraser, you're doomed before you start. Kneaded erasers don't ruin paper, don't smudge, and don't leave flakes that you have to brush away.

I really hope I have a female doppleganger in real life that's making a shitty and linear FF13 comic. xD;;;

Dude, I totally forgot you'd said you didn't want your older Jeanette pictures in the group (d'oh). Sorry, I added them again *facepalm* just ignore the requests, they'll go away.

Hey I agreed with your argument back at touhou-koruindou
Not many groups even care to give a full explanation of why reject works. I've had works declined without even knowing what was wrong.

Verily, unidentified deviant, you seem in some way familiar... Did we perchance cross paths on another wave of this internet's great ocean?
