Pigma Sensei | Manga Drawing Set!

First to recommend

2 people recommended this item

Description

A new set of drawing tools specifically for drawing in the Manga style (japanese anime)!!

A pencil and trusty eraser are included to work out early-stage ideas in rough concepts and sketches. The pencil’s fixed sleeve protects the sturdy 0.7mm lead from breaking whether sketching or using templates.

Versatility is built-in with four tip sizes. Beginners and artists select a tip size that suits their style - fine lines for facial expressions, lettering Manga phrases, detailing images, or bold lines to add impact and drama. No need to miss an opportunity to sketch whenever creativity sparks, take Pigma Sensei along to Manga classes or conventions. The Pigma Sensei Drawing Kit contents, from left to right in the package, are:

* 0.3 mm ultra-fine durable plastic nib
* 0.4 mm plastic tip
* 0.6 mm bullet fiber tip
* 1.0 bold fiber tip
* 0.7mm fixed sleeve, cushion point mechanical pencil
* Sakura pencil on paper eraser

Warp Your Room.
It's really a process more than a product but here's the place that will do it.

Wallpaper that actually warps its pattern around outlets, lights, doorjambs, photos, whatever you want.

Pretty amazing.
