A poor carpenter blames his tools.
Photoshop should have a filter that removes any blue, so anything should do.

Theres this arts and crafts store that Ive seen popping up around here. Its a HUGE store too. Like the size of a freakin SafeWay, but filled with art supplies.

Its called Michaels, and they seem to have every damn thing I could want. The one thing they dont have though are good pens for inking in stuff. Well, they actually dont have any at all.

But other than that its a nice store.

I was going to mention Art Media, but I guesss it's Portland only. Everything you need.

If the blue was that important, draw it in black, and use a color layer of blue in PS.

No there isn't. I've been all over Portland and haven't found one yet. I think that's why I made this topic.

Michaels sucks. It's a big dumb craft store and their art section is tiny and lame and old ladies give me dirty looks.

That's because rubbing your nipples with fine tip brushes isn't exactly 'Michael's behavior'.

Re: My local art suppliers suck

staffer do this. when you scan your art in photoshop use the hue/saturation tool. you can then use the top bar to colorize the lines to any color you want, yes even blue. just clean up the line work first then use this tech. I use it fairly often.

If is just a look you want then that will work fine but if you need the pencils to do you rough sketching then this will obviously not help. BUCK BUCK!

Michael's is for craftbooks, and... construction paper.

Good look finding anything for comic.

Re: My local art suppliers suck

They got all kinds of stuff for coloring in comics, and good paper to draw comics on. Thats all you really neede for comics anyway. >_>

Re: My local art suppliers suck

Inking pens? What do they sell to color with?

At least the Michael's by me has crap. I doubt they have any velum.

Re: My local art suppliers suck

Yeah I cant find any pens for inking in things, but they have pencil crayons, pastels, felt tipped pens, and paints for coloring stuff.

And not the crappy sets you buy for little kids going into grade 5. Some high quality stuff.

And if you've never colored in anything with pastels, shame on you.
