I thought you used only pencils and bic pens? :)

yeah mostly but sketch books and comic book paper and inks all add up. the blue pencils I use cost 2 bucks a piece which is just too much

Whoa! Why can't you use regular cheap blue pencils? And there's specail comic book paper?? :/

well I basically could use any old light blue pencil but they don't sell them individually and the ones they do cost 2 bucks, I guess they can charge more since they're individuals. and yep yep there is comic book paper,comes in packages of 24 pages and you can buy a pack of double spread pages as well. I usually don't do that though

Wow I didn't even know that. Apart from my markers, everything I use is 3 to 5 bucks at the most, mechanical pencils, kids' watercolor pencils, little sketchbook and a fountain pen for inks :)

My mechanical pencil cost me 8 bucks and the lead cost just as much. Sketchbooks tend to go from 7 bucks to 13 or so depending on quality. I just buy a packet of pens for inking and they go for about 12 bucks. my bics are probably the cheapest thing I buy and I go through alot of them

well I think I'm gonna stick to cheap stuff for now ause it's quite good after all :) Maybe I should get bigger sketchbooks, like A4. My drawings are too tiny, I can't put enough detail...
