My classes tend to be very boring, so at the beginning of the semester I decided to practice Peter Han's Dynamic Sketching exercises every day during class in the corners of my notes.
It turns out that being able to draw a line from A to B without trembling like a drunkard makes drawing shapes much easier. Plus, I'm up to a 60% hit rate on free hand circles of all sizes. Next up: gesture drawings of the weird poses professors make during lecture.
Holding it that way can allow for bigger and prettier strokes that come from the arm, especially when the surface you're drawing on is vertical. Then if necessary, you can switch back to a regular old pen holding position for finer details.
It wont work with a stylus on a tablet, because that requires a very specific downward application of pressure.
Most people hold their implement however it's most comfortable for them.
Stan Prokopenko is a teacher and former student at Watts and he probably learned the technique from Jeff Watts himself. It's definitely more suited towards media where you might need to employ the broad side of the implement and work at larger sizes, like charcoal. You would not see it as much with very fine technical work, or with more mechanical tools like a pen, drafting pencil, or stylus.
So I haven't been a regular on this forum in a really long time. I can figure out what Agree and Awesome are for, but what are Snap, Crackle, and Pop supposed to be?

Besides a puffed rice cereal reference.
These buttons are pretty new, but Snap! seems to currently be "oh snap!" or "oh yeah!"...Pop? seems to be the new sympathy button, and I'm not sure if Crackle has a solid purpose yet, aside from sounding cool and being one of my favorites, despite the fact I still don't know what to use it for.
Quick, somebody say something mindbendingly stupid and/or frustrating so I can direct my new reaction .gif in your direction.
Look, you can't deny autism rates have skyrocketed and it has to be because of vaccines. Big Pharma and their liberal gay agenda want our kids to be sick so they can market a "cure" for the thing they caused in the first place.
I just donated to that Kickstarter. I think it's a cool style and I like electronic music...but beyond all that, I also thought it was a cool thing to support.
I've literally got like 20 mosquito bites from trying to sit and sketch my surroundings, I'm so brutally itchy right now holy sweet baby tapdancing Jesus can I get an amen.
Huff Huff Huff going to do my Schoolism class in two and a half weeks. I'm wondering if I can even..."prepare" now to get more out of it? :P
From seeing other peoples' work who have taken that class, it looks like you're asked to do some studies first...maybe I can grab reference now? I am the worst when it comes to looking for reference...I could spend hours and hours just doing that and getting too caught up in it unless I'm careful.
Ugggh. Not only did I choose a the single Poe story that had a massive crowd in it for my adaption, but I also chose to set it in a gravity ring in space, making the construction and perspective work 360 times harder to do. Why do I do these things? Fuck man, it must be an Opus Dei thing.
So, I started watching some of the Achievement Hunter Let's Play videos, and have been getting a kick out of their weird/gross hypothetical questions they ask each other while building stuff in Minecraft.
Now I find myself coming up with similar weird questions and lack enough people to spring them on. So, allow me to spring them on you guys, if anyone wants to answer any of them/find them interesting to think about.*
1) Do you take this deal: Your muscle mass shifts dramatically from left to right side and back again over the course of the year (ie: 2 months out of the year you'd be perfectly distributed, 2 months out of the year you'd have one extremely muscley forearm and leg, and one extremely emaciated forearm and leg), BUT, you'd have access to a private jet that will take you, for free, to anywhere you want at any time you want.
2) Do you take this deal: You get the ability to get any job you want whenever you want (insured employment for any one job for up to a year, can't repeat jobs unless hired to hired to do so legitimately), but 4 days out of the week you can only wear clothes that are one piece designs, ie: jumpsuits, unitards, Star Trek uniforms, robes, dresses, etc. (Women are probably going to have an easier time than men here, admittedly).
3) Do you take this deal: You get awesome Dragonball Z powers (like Tien!) but you have a weird third eye in the middle of your forehead (like Tien).
4) Do you take this deal: Whatever physique you want, but your eyes become completely black, like that creepy alien black oil crap from the X-Files (at least I think it was aliens? I don't remember that show very well).
5) Would you rather be twice as funny, or have any physique you'd like?
6) Would you rather have a permanent falsetto voice, or intrude just a little too far into someone's personal space during every conversation, ensuring their discomfort?
7) Would you rather raise a pig for a year, or eat 3 pounds of pork everyday for 7 weeks?
8) Would you rather live alone in the wilderness for a year with no outside communication (you have one month to prepare any supplies), or live with your parents for the next 5 years.
9) Would you rather have to sleep 14 hours a day everyday no matter what, or have half an hour of everyday spent being taken over by a split personality that you have no information on.
10) Would you rather have it so that every time you see a movie, you have to then watch a movie that has it's opposite rating on Rotten Tomatoes/Metacritic (ie: a 80% movie would then have to be followed up with a 20% movie, a 60% movie with a 40% movie, etc.), or every time you watch a movie you then have to listen to "Macarena" on loop for 15 minutes.
11) Would you rather make out with George W. Bush for 5 seconds, or get punched once by Mike Tyson?
12) Would you rather not be able to leave your house until you had prepared a 5-star restaurant quality breakfast of eggs, french toast, fresh fruit, sausage, croissant, and hash browns, or you can't eat anything until 3pm.
13) Would you rather live in a world where birds left human-type poops, or one where dogs had functional tiny human hands instead of front paws?
14) Would you rather have face-blindness, or a mental disorder that made you unable to remember which items on the table are and are not edible whenever you sit down to eat?
15) Would you support Disney re-editing the Star Wars trilogy to remove all references of Darth Vader being Luke's father and never releasing the older versions, if this resulted in one of the next 3 sequels being twice as good as Empire Strikes Back?
16) Would you rather have everyone you meet find you 1.5x as attractive, or instantly have an expert level of knowledge in a randomly chosen discipline that you would otherwise have no interest in pursuing.
17) Would you rather have an borderline indecipherable Glaswegian accent (assuming you live in an area where Glaswegian is not a usual accent- replace with another difficult to process regional accent otherwise), or lose the most recently acquired 10% of your vocabulary.
18) Would you rather spend 1 hour trapped in a room (imagine a pretty decent sized living room) with a wolverine, or 4 hours trapped in the same room with a lion?
19) Do you take this deal: You get the ability to fly in the superhero sense, but it only works for 24-hours at a time, and the only way to activate it is to sustain an open-handed medium strength slap to the testicles (not sure what the lady equivalent here would be)- not enough to cause permanent damage, but enough to be pretty dang sore for a good while) Do you use this ability, and how often?
20) Do you take this deal: You get a million dollars, but you can only use technology that is 10+ years old.
21) Do you take this deal: You get a million dollars, but once a day a randomly selected page from your browser's history of that day gets texted to your parents.
22) Do you take this deal: You lose all of your personal memories (one time only, this isn't a Memento situation), BUT you gain the ability to read minds.
23) Do you take this deal: You get 10 million dollars, but now you're a centaur.
24) Do you take this deal: You'll never forget a face or name as long as you live, but you can never have pizza (or pizza-esque items, like Pizza Rolls or Bagel Bites or Pizza Hot Pockets or Pizza flavored chips) ever again.
My answers:
1) No, but I'm admittedly not super adventurous.
2) Yes. I could probably rock a jumpsuit.
3) Yes. Flying sounds cool and I'm sure I could find an appropriately concealing hat somewhere.
4) No, I think no matter how ripped you are that would be unsettling as shit.
5) Twice as funny. Seems more broadly useful/likely to make me seem attractive- but maybe I'd feel differently had I ever had the experience of being buff like whoa.
6) Falsetto voice. I'd rather be a weirdo than an intrusive creep.
7) Raise the pig. Pretend it's a dog.
8) Wilderness. Far less likely to drive me literally insane.
9) Sleep. It'd suck horribly, but I don't want to take the risk.
10) Watch the second, terrible movie. At least I'm seeing new things even if they are bad, whereas I fucking hate the Macarena and have heard it too much already.
11) Tyson punch. If I survive, at least I'll have my dignity.
12) Can't eat until 3pm. Maybe if I were married with kids and had to make breakfast anyway I'd opt for the latter, but as a single guy that sounds like a tremendous pain in the ass.
13) Bird poops. Gross, but I can see humanity eventually engineering solutions to keep birds away from populated areas, whereas the dog thing would always be super creepy and I like dogs too much as they are.
14) The table thing. I'd just have to make sure I dine with very patient friends and/or make up some picture flashcards to remind me what's what.
15) Wouldn't do it, but thinking about the 'what if' of going the other way would drive me nuts.
16) I'll take the expert knowledge. I think I look ok enough for my purposes, so I'll take a gamble on maybe learning something useful.
17) Lose the vocab- it'd probably easier to get people to explain to me what a "blog" or a "twitter" is than having to deal with having everyone say, "I'm sorry, could you repeat that?" 3 times in a row everytime I open my mouth. (My apologies to any Glaswegians).
18) Lion. Maybe I'm just getting a false impression from zoos and footage of lions just chilling out on the savannah, but I feel like I have a better chance of it just ignoring me, whereas with a wolverine I feel like I would be definitely attacked relentlessly the entire time. Also if a lion attacked me, I think at least I'd probably die quicker.
19) I'd use it, but definitely not every day. I'd probably try to map out a way to minimize the amount of times I had to ball-slap and maximize the amount of money I could earn from it (I'm sure a few billionaires would drop a bunch of cash to be strapped to my back and fly around for awhile).
20) Wouldn't do it. At a certain point not being able to use a modern cellphone or watch streaming videos effects starts to effect your ability to relate to other people, unless you're content with reclusive, 'off the grid' living. I might do it for more money, though.
21) FUCK NO.
22) No. I'm not sure I am close enough to enough people that I'd be able to adequately reconstruct my personality from third-hand accounts, even with psychic access to their memories. Though I have to admit it's tempting because there's certainly a bunch of stuff I'd rather forget.
23) No. Nobody hires...filthy centaurs. [/Christopher Walken]
24) I'll stick to being being socially awkward, I like pizza too much.
Does the being 10 years behind on tech only hardware or also software? You can do alot with tech that was merely from 2004, which unless you still want a tech related job is not going to effect you that much.
Like there are plenty of lower income / slightly more rustic lifestyles that can get on without a tablet or smart phone, which is the bulk of what youd be giving up. Also if the restriction is just "you can get stuff ten years after its been released" and that always moves forward in time with you, thats really not the worst, unless it includes websites you can see and such. If it was more than a million you could just pay someone to send your snapchats, if they were truly important to you.

#7. Three pounds is a lot. I'd raise the pig. Much rather clean up after a pig than try to lose the 30 pounds of pig fat added to my belly.
#10 I do that already. MST3k isn't a show, its a way of life.
#21 is super easy to deal with. Write a small script that browses generic reddit subs like r/aww and r/funny all day every day. The probability of your three pages of dirty dirty fetish porn showing up against 100,000 pages a day of cat pictures is minute. And if it does, blame reddit!
8 is a defo yes. It's basically my dream, to just fuck around in nature and draw, that's what I want my life to be. I'm also really good at throwing stuff, so I can fling my shit at strangers really far away. I would make a great hermit.
1) nah
2) eeeehhhhhh maybeeee
3) Yup
4) mmmayyybeee
5) Twice as funny, no doubt
6) probably the first? I guess?
7) Raise a pig for a year. A lot to be learned there.
8) call me Grizzly Adams
9) call me Rip Van Winkle
10) Macarena, I think
11) C'mere, you little old war criminal you
12) I routinely skip breakfast so
13) Dogggs
14) Face blindness
15) Fuck off, dork
16) Nollij pls
17) Malky fookin heroin
18) wolverine
19) I'll walk thanks
20) only the latest and greatest for Tam
21) naw tho
22) haha fuuuuck no
23) hmmm let me think on that probably not
24) you fukken mental, m8?

Both. Webpages would be like, you could read them, but you couldn't use any content that hadn't been usable 10 years ago. So you could read youtube comments, but you'd have to wait another year (debuted in 2005) to actually watch any streaming videos. Then you have to wait for all the resolution updates to roll around over time, etc.
Also 'tech' would include things like video game consoles and cars, so that might be a bit of a pain.

8) Wilderness, sorry mom (can husband's come with? Dogs?)
16) Random knowledge one please! Please tell me what I get!
18) Are either of them/both of them fed? Probably the wolverine?
8) Neither, otherwise you're not alone.
16) Ok, scrolling to a random spot on this page, I made a decision. Congratulations, you've just sacrificed a general attractiveness boost for an expert knowledge in.....[drum roll].....Labour Economics!
Followup question: are you still happy about this decision?
18) You don't know, you also don't know if either has lived in the wild all its life or raised in a zoo and has learned to get along with people (my impression is that wolverines don't really do this, but I dunno)- so you're taking a gamble on all these things.
RE:#8: Glad I'm not the only one that would Walden Pond* that shit, but y'all seem like you've got much healthier, more positive reasons than I do, so good on ya for that.
* I didn't actually read this book so maybe that's not a great reference to drop.
Bonus question: (which was actually in my original post but then I got nervous because I feared it maybe accidentally would offend somebody because it deals with sexuality, though I'm not sure how? I super don't want to offend anyone so if I'm somehow being a horrible person by posing this question let me know.)
25) Would you rather have sex for 20 minutes (no quickies, you gotta do some lovemaking here) with someone of the gender you are attracted to, but is the single (non-criminal) person you despise most of that gender on a worldview level (ie: if you're a politically left leaning hetero male this might be a Sarah Palin/Ann Coulter-type, if you're a hetero woman whose pet issue is hating the pandering to the lowest common denominator in media it might be one of those Jersey Shore-type bros, etc. I'm sure whoever you are, you can think of someone who just makes your skin crawl), or have sex for 20 minutes with a person of the gender you're not attracted to, but they can be anyone of your choosing. (For the sake of this question you can assume whoever you choose they would be totally down to get down in this scenario, even if that would be extremely unlikely in real life).
(Also I realize for that if you're AT ALL bisexual/bicurious, the question comes down to, "if you had to have sex with anyone you wanted, would you have sex with anyone you wanted?". So you win I guess, though then it's not a very interesting question.)
My answer:
Definitely (I'd describe myself as a straight male, btw) have the naughty times with a dude of my choosing. It'd be awkward, sure, but I wouldn't find anywhere near as 'spend 2 hours crying in the shower with my clothes on like the girl in Casino Royale' as the other option.
I would have thought that would be the obvious way to go, but a friend of mine disagreed so now I'm wondering which of us has the more unconventional reaction. He also threw back a question of whether or not it would make a difference whether your choice was totally secret or widely publicized public knowledge. Personally that wouldn't change my answer either, but then living in the Bay Area I would expect the amount of flak I would get from this to be pretty much none. Maybe if I lived in the deep south or something I'd reconsider- but if I were in the deep south for any reason my first priority would be getting out of the deep south regardless of whether or not I was actively facing prejudice.
Well, you were right, I have no interest in labor economics. Whoops, what a waste of a modeling career!
In answer to the new question I think your friend is the weird one! How would you not hate yourself after? Is that not a lot worse than getting familiar with someone of your gender? Whaaaaat?

That's what I thought! I guess you'd have to mentally detach who they are from what they are, which I can't see myself doing (or wanting to be able to do so).
Or I guess if you are the world's most neutral person and have no opinions whatsoever on anything to begin with I guess it wouldn't really matter, but who is like that?
(Alternatively perhaps he thought this question was me possibly leading into an atrociously awkward bicurious come-on and wanted to head me off at the pass, but come on. It's a legit question, and I wasn't using my sexy voice or anything!*)
*I do not have a 'sexy voice' but the point stands.
I bought a pen like that in the hopes that Fancy Pen would force/guilt me to spending some time and energy working on my handwriting so it's actually remotely legible.

It did not accomplish this.
I've got a lot of empty sketchbooks and fancy pens

Look, you can't deny autism rates have skyrocketed and it has to be because of vaccines. Big Pharma and their liberal gay agenda want our kids to be sick so they can market a "cure" for the thing they caused in the first place.
hey I really like that. do you think you could do some work for me?
I can't play of course, but you will get exposure
i can confirm that the goal of every artist i know is to expose themselves
fucking yes! i was so sad when i thought that had died
From seeing other peoples' work who have taken that class, it looks like you're asked to do some studies first...maybe I can grab reference now? I am the worst when it comes to looking for reference...I could spend hours and hours just doing that and getting too caught up in it unless I'm careful.

Both. Webpages would be like, you could read them, but you couldn't use any content that hadn't been usable 10 years ago. So you could read youtube comments, but you'd have to wait another year (debuted in 2005) to actually watch any streaming videos. Then you have to wait for all the resolution updates to roll around over time, etc.
Also 'tech' would include things like video game consoles and cars, so that might be a bit of a pain.
THREE pages?! HAHAHAHAAHAHAHA that's adorable.
8) Neither, otherwise you're not alone.
16) Ok, scrolling to a random spot on this page, I made a decision. Congratulations, you've just sacrificed a general attractiveness boost for an expert knowledge in.....[drum roll].....Labour Economics!
Followup question: are you still happy about this decision?
18) You don't know, you also don't know if either has lived in the wild all its life or raised in a zoo and has learned to get along with people (my impression is that wolverines don't really do this, but I dunno)- so you're taking a gamble on all these things.
RE:#8: Glad I'm not the only one that would Walden Pond* that shit, but y'all seem like you've got much healthier, more positive reasons than I do, so good on ya for that.
* I didn't actually read this book so maybe that's not a great reference to drop.
Bonus question: (which was actually in my original post but then I got nervous because I feared it maybe accidentally would offend somebody because it deals with sexuality, though I'm not sure how? I super don't want to offend anyone so if I'm somehow being a horrible person by posing this question let me know.)
(Also I realize for that if you're AT ALL bisexual/bicurious, the question comes down to, "if you had to have sex with anyone you wanted, would you have sex with anyone you wanted?". So you win I guess, though then it's not a very interesting question.)
My answer:
I would have thought that would be the obvious way to go, but a friend of mine disagreed so now I'm wondering which of us has the more unconventional reaction. He also threw back a question of whether or not it would make a difference whether your choice was totally secret or widely publicized public knowledge. Personally that wouldn't change my answer either, but then living in the Bay Area I would expect the amount of flak I would get from this to be pretty much none. Maybe if I lived in the deep south or something I'd reconsider- but if I were in the deep south for any reason my first priority would be getting out of the deep south regardless of whether or not I was actively facing prejudice.

Well, you were right, I have no interest in labor economics. Whoops, what a waste of a modeling career!
In answer to the new question I think your friend is the weird one! How would you not hate yourself after? Is that not a lot worse than getting familiar with someone of your gender? Whaaaaat?

That's what I thought! I guess you'd have to mentally detach who they are from what they are, which I can't see myself doing (or wanting to be able to do so).
Or I guess if you are the world's most neutral person and have no opinions whatsoever on anything to begin with I guess it wouldn't really matter, but who is like that?
(Alternatively perhaps he thought this question was me possibly leading into an atrociously awkward bicurious come-on and wanted to head me off at the pass, but come on. It's a legit question, and I wasn't using my sexy voice or anything!*)
*I do not have a 'sexy voice' but the point stands.
Twitter
but fancy don't gotta cost a lot
check it, write like a boss for 15 dollars:
damn that shit look fancy
(I really like this pen you guys)
It's because I'm an ARTIST.
It did not accomplish this.
Twitter
I've got a lot of empty sketchbooks and fancy pens
