All My Art Supplies FROM JAPAN!

[@NutCaseClips]

Funm Fact! the sketch book you got, they are used for stamps a lot of the time! From shrine visits or train stations, or other places in Japan with stamps!

[@Drpepperlover4evera]

That's really cool

[@gamerheroine]

I'm a digital artist living near Tokyo and I can vouch the art supply and stationary game is on another level. Its been great for inspiration but not for my wallet. However its gotten me back into physical sketchbooks and actually using my planner (mostly as an excuse to use stickers and stamps) If you're still here, there's a place in Roppungi Hills called, "Shueisha Manga Art Heritage" which currently is featuring One Piece but has some traditional manga printing plates on display. It was really cool to see even if you don't watch the show. Also its in the basement of a new building in that area that has a really great free viewing area of tokyo. We went on a clear day a few weeks ago and were able to see Fuji

[@SunniestAutumn]

Echo is my favorite. I still love that I got a bunny drawing of myself from her.

[@AnotherMADCreation]

Micron pens come as small as .005, so when these run out, you can look at micron for replacement.

[@vanwinklemeister]

Came here to say this. I’m genuinely shocked echo didn’t know about the 0.05 Micron

[@Ddalgiichigo]

Staedtler too

[@PickledPyper]

Something I learned for pens after taking drafting/technical drawing/architecture and am so sad isn't part of the normal artist pens- Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph Pen A MUST HAVE for any traditional artist imo. They are AMAZING and can come sooooo small. I love them and need to rebuy because mine got ruined by someone in my family. (They can not be washed in water!)

[@corvigae]

Oh my god, those pose books look so useful!! Now I wanna see if I can find any similar ones online! And oohhh, I didn't realize that screentones were such a hard thing to find anymore, I used to work in a comics museum as the student assistant who made high-res scans of the artwork and sometimes recorded the metadata for the museum back-end, and a significant chunk of the stuff I scanned was one particular newspaper comic from the 70's that used screentone as a material in every single comic. Like, I scanned literal HUNDREDS of these strips and they all used it, so it must've been easier to find in the states back in the day.

[@raycreveling1583]

In the US you'd be looking for halftone sheets of screen sheets. They were common in the printing industry when I stated in the 90's. We kept them in 5% increments from 20% to 60%. We used them with our press camera to make polyester plates for our presses.

[@GremlinModeLLC]

My little heart melted at the reasoning behind getting the yellow pens 💕 Thank you for sharing, Echo! Your videos are always so delightful and comforting.

[@DanaBeaufait]

I used to write names on grains of rice with a .05 pen. It’s crazy fun.

[@MelontoninBonin]

OMGG i love art hauls, it’s nice to see one from you :D

[@elisebjerke3976]

I sat and had a small mindboggle at Echo not knowing about .1 and .05 pens. They're not exactly commonplace here in scandinavia, but, they're not hard to find. Any art supply store has them, usually in sets ranging from .5 and down to .05. Always interesting to learn about differences between countries :)

[@fishfish7985]

Shocked but exitited got you that you hadn't seen 0.05 before, normally they are in the sets of graphic pens at least over here , like the stadler ones, might be because metric ?

[@hasti5915]

I remember watching your videos avidly through my high-school days I stumbled across your channel agin. I’m happy your still making content and seem to be living your best life. Will be binge watching all your content ❤️

[@connorkennedy1794]

I had no idea about screen tones. I've learned that black dot gradients are traditionally used in printing operations, but it's cool to see how they were actually done in comics. Thanks Echo!

[@arthur-oy2ki]

i own a micron in a .05 hehehehe its one of my favorite pens ive owned, same with my other microns

[@Janelle-nu1ep]

This is one of the reasons I want to visit Japan, the art supplies!!!

[@miss_xandra_mars]

When I eventually get to Japan, I will have to refrain myself amongst the art supplies. This is a beautiful haul. I definitely need one of those rulers. Hope you had a wonderful trip!

[@angelofmusic997]

Those small pen sizes are the reason I LOVE Pigma Micron pens. I own 0.05 point pens and have seen 0.03 pens in the wild.

[@crazygemgirl1990]

Comic student here-we do have pre-lined comic bristol here! Strathmore makes it in 11x17, a bit pricey, but well worth it! Saves me hours! 🖤

[@Tazer_Silverscar]

Most art books (yes, even the Japanese ones) are like, 90% art visual guides. So they are useful even if you can't read them (I own a ton of Japanese art books, many of them in PDF form ^^) Jo must be great at shopping 😮 Good call on the prop art book! I'd buy a lot of stuff like that - maybe not specifically girl's clothing books, but you know, like, props and stuff. Really neat. So many stamps! 😮 Cinnamonroll is a what? Does Ironmouse know? 😮 6:41 - accidental Jojo pose? Oh yeah, we have that sort of correction tape stuff here in the UK too ^^ Haven't seen them with art on them though! So many stickers 😮 9:09 - H'llo, Jo! Hope you're doing well! 9:34 - Fuji-san eraser! Neat! I've always wanted one, they sound so cool 😋 I'm quite amazed that you don't have those ultra-thin fineliners in the US. I have like, a budget multi-size pack from here in the UK (from a company called Hobbycraft), and there's a 0.05mm pen in there. Honestly, I didn't think to check until this video, lol. Grafix! Good brand. Okay, most Japanese stuff is good, so maybe I'm a bit silly saying that. But that brand is really common here too (I used to sell them in a discount store, lol 😋 Oh lordy, I've never seen real screentones before 😮 (and no, that's not an age thing, they've just never really been around here). I did have a disc from like, back in the late 90s that had digital screentones though - branded 'Computones' - not that they're usable now, they're too low res 😅 Based on what you've said, it sounds like screentones work like transfer stickers, which are pretty common in the hobby/model kit stores, so I don't think Japan will ever totally stop making them. 24:56 - Japan kinda celebrates it more like an excuse to cosplay and get drunk, lol. Look up Shibuya Scramble on Halloween, it's nuts 🤣 They do celebrate a ton of like, autumn related stuff though, so they do celebrate the autumn harvest (Halloween is based on a druidic/Irish autumn harvest) and stuff like that. Breathing outtakes 🤣

[@Cherryvine]

Hey there! Old comment but i was wondering if you’d be able to share where you got your pose books from! They seem so helpful and im having trouble finding something similar in north America, so those pdfs sound great!!

[@little_roomplant]

These art supplies are so sweet and useful

[@lauraleecreations3217]

I love .3 pens. I use them in sewing. I trace around the patterns. I sew mostly doll clothing; Japanese dolls (Smart Dolls). And hand sew the clothing.

[@shakibone]

Jo's excited noises at the yellow pens were wonderful.

[@LifeLostSoul]

A DIY that might work for making screen tones at home if someone just wants to try it out before investing. You can make an image transfer with packing tape, that basically becomes a transparent sticker. So if you print a screen tone pattern with a laser printer you can transfer it onto packing tape. By sticking the packing tape on the image. Soaking it in water for a little bit and then rubbing the paper off the back. It does seem like some tape works better than others so that might be worth testing before making the final artwork. Like there are limitations to the size of packing tape you can find. But this also means that you design your own and print your own. There is a good tutorial by our upcycled life about how to do this for like scrapbooking purposes but I think it could be applied other ways.

[@darren.mcauliffe]

The dot thing is as you said an old printing thing that doesn't happen anymore. If you want your art to 'look like a comic' that's what you do. You can replicate it digitally, though it's been a loooong time since I have. If memory serves you lower the DPI to get that effect. But as an exploring artist, absolutely do it in analog while you can.

[@KikiContrerasNyu]

I don’t usually interact that much but just wanted to say I watch EVERYTHING you upload, your videos bring me a lot of joy and you’re the cutest byeeee

[@amyshaw893]

I went out shopping recently, just to a sort of general store, and I saw they had 003 pens and immediately bought 2. Gotta love the thin lines. The shop also had mango bepis for some reason, which I've never seen before. Would recommend

[@ultimate_cheddar]

One of my favorite places is Kawashima in Yokosuka. Two floors absolutely stuffed with art and stationary supplies. Also almost any 100yen shop (Daiso, Wattman's, Seria, Can Do, etc) - it's amazing the amount of decent-quality stuff they have for 100 yen (~$0.68 - $0.80 depending on conversion at the time). It's where I like to get all of my origami paper, card binder pages and deck cases, stationary storage, notebooks, even the pens at those shops are better than most American pens. I got a coin purse at a random shop under a train station and 2 1/2 years later it's just now starting to fray a little bit.

[@boxland5230]

Had been a while since I hovered into Echo's channel!! I've been a subscriber since like 2015, and your content fills me with nostalgia and comfort

[@missjenkenz]

I love in the UK and recently took my boyfriend to Birmingham (about an hour away from home) for Valentine's weekend. Little did he know I had been looking for a set of uni pens and had tracked them to a Birmingham based stationers. He knows were going to japan for our honeymoon but he doesn't know why.....

[@brucejacobs4026]

In the 80s we used to do newsletters using cut and paste sometimes with pictures before the days of easy access to scanners. We had a couple of sheets that we could put on the copy machine glass before photo copying. You can buy transparent sticker sheets for printers here is the US. I wonder if you could print a pattern on them if you run out of your nice ones

[@Sorry_i_eated_it]

Omg echo hi?! I haven't watches you in 6 years! Glad you're still active ❤

[@1001reasons1968]

I was not expecting this video to hit on my special area of interest. Japanese stationery being one of my hobbies. I'm not an artist but I do a little doodling and journaling. I'd also never heard of .01 pens 😮

[@zuzanna2664]

These are such cool little treasures! Thank you for sharing. I think doing a comic page were you test these all out could be cool

[@blakej9040]

😭😭😭I was hoping I was late to this video so I could go see the new pen art right now! Looking forward to it 😎

[@soupoup]

Im glad i found ur channel again i watched u religiously as a kid and now u bring me joy all over again

[@RedQuill13]

I think you would like the Steadtler mechanical pencils. You can find them in various lead sizes as well.

[@MusingsFromTheDen]

I love Japanese supplies because they seem to make things beautiful just because they can. 😊 I'm also glad I watched because I have a mechanical pencil lead case like the one you got and I didn't know it opened like that so you've just saved me from breaking the case when I do open it for the first time! 😂

[@MonsterMaker]

Cant wait to see you try out all of these goodies!

[@readmachine18]

Loved the Wind Waker background music for the whole video, peak nostalgia XD

[@saragrekey]

so excited to see you try out some of these!

[@slushcrack]

Yay new video!

[@TheDarxpixie]

I love watching stationary haul videos! Especially from Japan so this was awesome. Maybe the more I watch, the less I buy...? 😅

[@katerclysm2337]

Was very fun to see what is available over in japan and to learn about some art supploes in general :>

[@peachyjjarred]

This is so wholesome and so fun to watch 🥰🥰🥰

[@joyjohnson8776]

I can't wait to see all the fun things you create

[@crazytooley]

Echo we've been waiting for a chui bunny comic PLEASE make the comic

[@Skibbityboo0580]

Hi Echo! I am so glad the algo brought you around to my feed! I wish there was a way to prioritize that because you would be near the top!

[@hartantoanggoro]

I just saw your travelogue with Jocat in his channel and congrats for your engagement.

[@royalry7129]

Are these pen sizes not common?? I feel like the micron set I used for architecture school, was also commonly used among artists.They go down to 0.05 as well.

[@PrincessBlumie]

Wondering this too but I was also in architecture so im wondering if only we used them 😅

[@matydonatova7305]

Pilot sells just the ink cartridges. At least here in Europe. Recommending. You can just change the cartridge for less money and your pen will last you longer. ;) And for fine tip pens check technical drawing section :)

[@bethanygent8575]

UniPin Fine Line also go from 0.05 - 1mm, have a brush pen, and theyre waterproof! i know theyre available in the uk, so maybe the states too?

[@shionyitzumura]

for micron pens ive seen as small as 0.03. Though of course they are a Japanese brand name Micron lol.

[@ROARROARROAR]

HI ECHO I LOVE YOU I GET SO EXCITED WHEN U UPLOAD YIPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

[@KVerityart]

omg, I cackled so loud at the end!

[@xx_mzhyde]

I also like me some thin lines. my art (when I get around to it anymore...) can tend to get pretty detailed so thick lines just ain't it. my favorite pens go down to a .05 as well and they do in fact say made in Japan. they sell (sold? they've lasted me forever and I don't even remember when I last bought one oop) for less than $5 a piece. pigma micron. your little Japan haul makes me wanna take another trip out there so bad. I had so much fun when I went in 2017. def most of my money was spent on [mainly anime] gachas too lol. living vicariously for nowww

[@am_9782]

Hi Echo! Also went to Japan recently! Have you been to tokyu hands?? Such a heavenly store for stationery!!

[@ChaoticJester180]

Hello, Echo, I've been watching your content for a long time. I, myself, am learning Japanese. It's hard, but it is fun to learn. I'm planning to visit Tokyo. I've been into anime for a long time. Keep making great content! 🎉🎉

[@MiaMeow365]

Interesting how you haven't seen a 0.05 before! I'm an architecture student and I use a 0.03 pen on the daily haha

[@hiddentidesgaming]

Wait why is that so distinct with memory of the lady who moved to Japan to learn comic making??? That sounds so familiar!

[@catsoupzzzx]

what was the title of the first pose reference you showed? the lazy day poses. it looks so helpful

[@rosedoesthings98]

the smallest pen that I have is a 0.03 so I don't know what that would be over there but I completely forgot that I had these pens until I watched this video.

[@PukePunk77]

Hell yeah echo vid

[@reviloliehos]

1000 awesome points is great but the real prize is the inhale edit at the end lol

[@viviennart]

I have a Copic liner pen that's 0.03

[@DNA930]

Nice haul. How much cheaper in Japan compared to ordering from Jet Pens?

[@niqui0990]

Wait...every pack of micron i have bought so far goes to 003 isnt that .1? Am i wrong? Is there a smaller size????? 😮😮😮
