DickBlick Art Supplies - Almost everything and anything you would need art wise you can get from this site or from their catalogue. Paper, pencils, paints, and supplies, you need it, they probably have it. From Prismas to How To books this is my favorite place to order from

Draw Furry - If you're into drawing anthropomorphic animals or want to get into it, this is a great site to get awesome suggestions and how to guides. I will admit that sometimes if I can't get a face or a muzzle correct, this is the first place I check!

Manga Tutorials - There are a lot of how to draw manga and anime sites out there but I find this site to be one I keep checking back to again and again for brushing up on certain skills. Its great for beginners or intermediates...

Paypal - Its secure, its online, and it helps you buy and sell things online without a hassle. Many of my online purchases have been done using PayPal and I have yet to experience any problems!
