That, and my "drawing tecnique" is so full of bad habits and bad ways to go around things that makes me more in need to follow a tutorial, rather than to write one ;P But I could do a tutorial about expressions, perhaps? Mmh, I dunno.

Well, for reference I mostly use "myself" - any kind of reflecting surface often turns useful. ;P I don't usually hunt for reference pics, I never find exactly what I'm looking for anyway ;D The materials are simpler still - a regular mechanical pencil + eraser + kneaded eraser, that's all I ever need :) The kneaded eraser, in particular, is a real asset. :D

Aw, I'm glad you wanted to know in the first place! ;)
