Just wanted to inform the seller my pencil arrived. No worries (I have other methods). ;)
...and done! Hopefully they respond soon. :3
Anyway, the mechanical pencil I bought from Japan (way back in March) has finally arrived (chip-chip-hooray)!
Even so, I still have a variety of wooden pencils I want to go through before I return to normal (ie., to ignoring the wooden pencils!). ^^
The wooden pencils have been a fun experience for me to use and play with, and a few users have expressed interest in them, too (so their use wasn't in vain). :3
My great hope (apart from merely raising pencil awareness) was to encourage some of my watchers to try drawing with real pencils. I seem to have failed there, but I give myself an A for effort. ^^
And, yes, I have been asked to give tablet drawing a try,

Because digital has effectively killed traditional art. :P
From VanityFair,

When a Disney animation team (to repeat), a DISNEY ANIMATION TEAM doesn't know which end of a pencil to draw with, there's a problem! XD
I've nothing against digital mediums inherently, but I am against the near complete and total extinction of traditional art and animation.
I swear I'm not against new things. I mean, when compared to (say) a brush made from the hair of a woolly rhinoceros, the pencil IS a relatively new invention ...so there!
Ok, that was a stretch (but still). :P
Again, I have no issues with digital media---it's the annihilation of the traditional that I take umbrage with.
The latter isn't the fault of the tablet---it's just what the general population wants ...and I get it: 'Zootopia' looks beautiful, much more so than if it had been hand-penciled and cell painted ...it's just a shame 2D and 3D cannot coexist (and so I've picked a side, as most everyone else did---I just chose the unpopular one). :3","writing":"","writing_bbcode_parsed":"","pools_count":0,"title":"UPDATE: My KuruToga has Arrived!","deleted":"f","public":"t","mimetype":"image/jpeg","pagecount":"1","rating_id":"0","rating_name":"General","ratings":[],"submission_type_id":"1","type_name":"Picture/Pinup","guest_block":"f","friends_only":"f","comments_count":"0","views":"1","sales_description":null,"forsale":"f","digitalsales":"f","printsales":"f","digital_price":""}
