somewhere around $14-15. dwai, it's on me.
o, btw… taboo: we have a set limit of 1-2 pages PER ARTIST, right? now, is this 1-2 pages as in 1 SHEET front and back, or 2 sheets, only use front, never use back?

woot!! I'm the Canadian who's making the sketchbook route difficult!!
go me!!
yarh. you damn canadian you.
btw, mail to canada should be considered domestic, right? or am i wrong about this?
hey… i have a friend who is probably still a "pending member" under the name CrimsonDreamer who wants to join the sketchbook thing, but you don't need to have her mailing address, she'll probably send it off with mine. I'm gonna live with her anyway ;p

Two leafs of paper, front and back. :D How many pages are in that thing?
160… so it will go around for about 13-14 times. XD
@pirateneko:
aw that would be so awesome if you colored it! I'll clean it up and ink it asap then!
and that is such a cute Doublefinger fanart! I hope you posted that in DA, cuz I'm gonna go fave it! X3
XD of course it is…. ;p
I will eventually post it soon!! yehey…when I get the free time I'll color it...Zoro and robin were so cute!!! XD
thanks for the watch by the way in DA!!!
dragon warrior: awesome for a first time CG!!
i made an info page and a signature page on the AP sketchbook.
it would be great if those who are participating can scan their work. i will keep a collection of them in here: http://e1n.kefi.org/AP-sketch
if you've scanned your work but have no idea how/where to host, let me know and i'll be glad to host it for you (it's ocean's hosting anyway XD)
Thanks cool ^_^ BTW, if someone doesn't have a scanner, just say so, so that someone with one can scan it if you like.
yay, this is gonna be so fun!
btw, who is mailing it to me and who am I mailing it to? …or should i be asking this in a PM? =/
i think that will be for taboo to organize. she'll send you who are participating some PMs. just wait =)
How thick is that paper? Will markers bleed through it?
yey! I wanna sign in red <33
Another note on the book: Uhh Taboo/E1n whoever xD The site says to place a piece of wax paper between the pages to prevent smudge damage, what about spraying them with like hairspray or some sort of art spray to stop that?
I've been thinking about that, and I think that if you're planning on using charcoal or a very residue-y medium, it would be best to use wax paper. But I don't think you'll need to use it if you just use ink or pencil (not using wax paper with pencil is your own judegment).
i have no idea where to find wax paper, so i will leave this to the next person. XD
DW: markers like SHARPIE will definitely bleed thru (i've tried), but brands like vis-a-vis worked just fine (that's the red and blue i used up there).
Ai, my pencil drawings are kinda smudgie… I hope I don't damage some one else's O_O;
Might be a problem when doing group-doujin >< I can't draw something without failing several times, erasing, redoing, finally getting it right, and then scanning and cleaning.
Well, let's see what happens first! Screw anything else XD
You can buy wax paper at the supermarket, next to the aluminum foil and plastic wrap.
I wouldn't worry much about pencils smudging. Only if it's lots of big patches of really dark, soft pencils spots, or charcoal, pastels…. If you're worried about markers, just put something underneath the paper while you do it, and then let it dry before closing the book.

that reminds me… we're out of plastic wraps. should go buy that tonight. thanks CD. XD
Hehe, no problem. Hopefully I'm not wrong about that. XD
BTW, I have a problem with one thing in the directions for the sketchbook. "Plan your drawing ahead of time". That's fine, but I thought spontaneity was the original inpetus behind the idea?
Well, it's good to have a general idea of what you want to draw ahead of time. It doesn't need to be merticulously planned out to the last detail though. x3
my contribution (and the first) to the sketchbook.
three heads at the top were doodled when sober. the rest were after my roommates and i killed leftover vodka and bacardi in the fridge.
i think i'm just gonna do a page. cosmic, i'll mail this sketchbook to you on monday the latest. can you PM me your address?
Heh, and here I was worrying what masterpiece I have to create to look good compared to you, and you doodle. XD
you're a monster, e1n
o_O
i guess i failed to live up to your expectation, DW =P
but come on now dudes, chill. it's a SKETCHBOOK. what do you do on a sketchbook? you DOODLE. no masterpiece allowed. XD
last time i tried to make a so-called masterpiece on a 7x10 sketchbook was back when i was at a starbucks in minnesota, and ended up making this.
later on i regretted that i had something like that on a 7x10 instead of an 11x17. not to mention how painful it was fitting that many people on a 7x10 paper -__-
How many OP pairing communities on LJ are their? I know there's a Zoro/Nami, Zoro/Sanji, Usopp/Kaya, Usopp/Sanji, Zoro/Robin, and I'm guessing there has to be a Sanji/Nami, but I could be wrong. Any other ones?
Yah, there's Sanji x Robin community called cook_book. ^_^ I co-mod it.
[/shameless promotion]
Usually pairing comms have affiliates listed in their profile's page. There are also Luffy x Nami, Sanji x Nami, Ace x Sanji, Ace x Luffy, Zoro x Luffy, and Zoro x Tashigi. I am yet to see villain's love, but I'm sure it's gonna change soon.
Ah, pairing love.
o.O Ace x Luffy? Incestarama!
o.O Ace x Luffy? Incestarama!
Yep. Smokin' ^_~
It's pretty popular too, IIRC, in the yaoi side of the fandom.
Is it too late to request to be involved in the Sketchbook thing? Sounds like fun!
Heh, and here I was worrying what masterpiece I have to create to look good compared to you, and you doodle.
YES! This is what the sketchbook is about, doodling! If everyone starts planning out masterpieces, it'll ruin the whole thing.
<3 e1n's doodles.

I see room for plenty more! XD
Wierd, I guess I'm the only person here who doesn't use sketch books just for doodling. I'm an outcast.
Ace x Luffy?! O_o
Looks like I'm skipping over all those yaoi pages.
Nobody ever said they use sketchbooks only for doodling. I do some serious work in it too, but the way we came up with the idea to do this came from the idea of people getting together and just casually and spontaneously doodling. I mean, we draw stuff and scan it and post it here all the time, if this was no different, then what's the point? You can do whatever you want in it, the only thing I don't want to see is people feeling pressured to perform or match up to what someone else did or get all stressed out trying to come up with an idea. Instead, be inspired and just let go and do whatever your hands decide to do. :)
Always the words of wisdom from Cosmic.
if it's okay, when the book's done being passed around, i'll make a site for all the pages.
taboo already set up a site, but it doesn't hurt to have more. =)

Sure thing, just send me a PM with your city/state. :)
Doodles? XD I have to bring that thing to class, then…
That is the best place for doodles. I have no classes to doodle in anymore, though.

loove your sketches e1n! i always love how you draw Zoro <3
edit…. sorry i changed it ^^;
There are currently 8 on the list, but I can think of about 5 more people who should join. x3 If you have any questions about it, I've made a little site thingy: AP Sketchbook for it where I'll keep track of everything. :D
Taboo, you can contact me so that I can host that site. Geocities? Yikes…
It'll be http://something.kefi.org/, where something will be replaced by whatever subdomain you'd like.
... Unless of course, you're happy with that Geocities thingy >.>
(Don't worry about bandwidth etc blah, since e1n's already hosting majority of his art works on there ~.~)
that's why i volunteered to host everything. I've got like 250 MB of webspace on my server.
@pirateneko:
loove your sketches ein!
O_O I hope nothing serious comes out of this.XD

Textbooks can also be used to stimulate the "dreamy" effect :evil:
SKETCHBOOK IS ON ITS WAY!
i sent it media mail, costs $2.07. post office dude said it would take about three days, so you should get it by the end of the week, cosmic.
Cool, thanks. :) Kind of funny how media mail works…if you put a letter in it, it doesn't work, yet you can send a sketchbook with writing in it....
Ocean & Jadie: That would be awsome if one of you would host it! Who ever it would be easier for… (I use geocities because I'm a poor starving art student ;__; )
I'll do it.20 characters
O_O I hope nothing serious comes out of this.XD
O.o what do you mean…?
nevermind, i found it >.>;
This sounds so exciting, it makes me want to participate too. But, I lost some motivation as of late and I haven't drawn anything in a long time. Everybody is soo good! So I'll be looking forward to see people's doodles on the net!! (^_^)/
(if I do decide to join in the future, I hope it ain't too late)
@pirateneko:
O.o what do you mean…?

supposed to be 1, neko, not i. XD
but it's ok, i always forgive and forget. =P
yeah, i realized that and i went back and changed it… e1n ;p i think its cuz that's how i pronounce your name it came out that way.... but anywho, on with the fanart
I'm posting this for CCann b/c she said she wanted to color it, so here's a link to a large sized version, its pretty big so hope that's not a problem. I'll post the smaller version on DA in a bit too...
ZxR Chibi Love
gaahh… sorry if my inkwork sucks in this >.>
