My first ever drawing of Trixsie was with biro.  Can't remember if it was a four or a six colour... I probably have a copy somewhere here.


The permanency of them actually increases ability... until you mess it up

I basically do all my art in biro. Sometimes with a pencil sketch, but normally not
I've definitely improved in some areas, when using biro. Especially textures.

And, meanwhile the only two drawing utensils I can keep apart are pencil vs pen... :I

Where does one find such information?

[Trixsie Vixen]

Maybe you need a desktop organiser?  Or a pencil case...

I actually bought one, yesterday!

But, I still don't know what a biru is...

Biro is a brand of ball-point pen.  In Australia it's used as a generic term for pen, but I don't know about elsewhere.

Ah... Yeah, I just googled it...

In the Netherlands, we have the tendency of calling every pen single pen, regardless of brand or make, a "pen".

The only thing that stands out from the crowd enough to get a diffirent name is the much dreaded "stabilo"...

yeah, it's weird which things will become catch-all terms.


Texta, Band-aid, Windsurfer... um, well, there's three...

Good evening/morning/applicable time. How are you?

Hey Ten!


I'm good thanks.  Technically it's morning here, but it's fast approaching home time for me so it feels more like afternoon.


How are you?

[TenOfSwords]

158887

I am feeling OK. It's the evening here on the edge of nowhere, and it gets real cold at night.

[kiindling]

Yea, biro is basically all ball point pens here in England as well
And its good evening here, TenOfSwords c; hope you are having a good day ^^

Yep, today was good. Well, not much happened today, and I've still got a wheelbarrow in my room, but it's fine.

A wheelbarrow you say?


Should I ask?


I feel like that's the sort of thing one shouldn't poke one's nose into

Well, we didn't have a wheelbarrow, then a pig died of disease so we needed one to move the pig, so we got one in exchange for a turkey, and now we just need to assemble it.
