How could I have been so dumb

[Flash Fighter]

On the way home from school, I accidentily left like 90% of my art supplies on the bus....... pencils, leads, charcoals, prisma markers, tombow markers, rulers, french curves, circle templates..... the whole shebang........ and since I don't have any money right now.... well, I won't be able to replace any of these items for a long time..... :(

I feel like I'm going to die..... I'm going to call the bus office tommorrow, and hope to God that the busdriver turned these items in to the Lost and Found.......

Ouch! That stings!

An emergency back up plan:

Check out your school/library photocopier. Often they have dedicated waste bins for photocopies that went wrong. Loot those at every opportunity for paper. At least one side will be blank. I even used to iron the crumpled sheets at home when I was a penniless student. I used to use pva glue along the edges of the reclaimed paper to bind the found sheets into sketch books, but that's not necessary. Some days you will find more paper than you can carry just sat in the bin.

You can get a basic pencil almost anywhere, and they dont cost much to buy. You can find them lying about most places.

Now you have all the stuff required to put in some hard core learning-to-draw time!

All the fancy stuff is fun, and nice to make pictures with, but now you have a golden opportunity to just work on your drawing skills without distraction!


Trying to find the positives here....anyway the bus drive probably looked in your bag and thought "what the hell is all this crap?" and handed it into lost and found.

That sucks man. It really sucks.

You'd be amazed what you can find on E-Bay for cheap....:)

that sucks, stilll use this as a chance to learn to do circles etc freehand, to not have top fall back on rulers and such. i had a tutor in collage who did not allow any aids bar a pencil, rubber, sharpner and paper in the class, good skills he taught, best of luck i know how much some of the gear can cost, i hope you lost none of your work,

Thankfully, my work was in my bag, and I had just finished a 2 page sequential comic for a midterm. Luckily I got a chance to turn that into the instructor.
