I’ve always been somewhat of a stationery geek — when I was a kid I always liked colored pens, mechanical pencils, crayons, etc. Nothing freak-show or anything, I just liked collecting stationery and I used them judiciously to draw all the time back in the day before I discovered video games.

Take this work by Julia Randall for instance. That’s all done with colored pencil? That’s pretty amazing. Imagine the mouth cramp the model had sitting there all day with a spit bubble (via Today and Tomorrow)
