Well, yeah, when the blade is too long to draw on one side, it would be very awkward. But in the case of that particular sword, the blade is short enough that it could comfortably be drawn on the same side.
I guess that boils down to preference.
Also we're making some assumptions about this fellow's fighting style.
no not really
If you draw it from the same side as your hand, it's going to come out with the blade facing backwards along your arm, it doesn't come down to preference. Nearly every sword tradition in the world places the sword in the scabbard on the opposite side of the dominant hand. In fact, I can't think of one, East or West, that doesn't. Probably because every retard that put his sword on the same side as his dominant arm took too long getting into position and got his head cut off or his guts spilled all over the ground by the guy who put his sword on the opposite side and drew it into position in one smooth motion.
edit: you could put knives on the same side as your dominant hand, but that's another thing entirely
Yeah colour picker is shit, I've done it, learnt absolutely squat and have never used it again.
If you pick from multiple places on the face where you can NOTICE a color change after already knowing that there would be one there, it can help you get a sense for subtler changes and relationships in color. Like how desaturated reds can still look more brown or blue in the darker part of a face without actually moving in a cooler direction. Yet, you need to understand it fundamentally and then like, learn from that example, not learn the fundamentals through color picking...

Yeaaa. I noticed my pics came out rubbery. Same with this one a bit.
eyes messed up, nose big, anyhoo, whatever.
Thanks a bunch mustang for that image It helped loads. Dunno if it shows in the practice. But It helped me a lot. The Reference image i used was very flat, this helped me add in different shadows and what not via knowing the planes a bit more. Oh, and no eyedropper this go around
My ex-girlfriend had a clit ring with barbells on each side. She had to go to the emergency room one night and the doctors took all the metal off her (it was screwing up one of their machines). When I picked her up they handed me a baggie with all this metal in it. Just remembered that.
It's the hood of the clitoris that is pierced. To me, that's not nearly as extreme as a "prince albert" on a man.
Don't google Genital Bisection.
I have never said aloud "oh my god" so many times in my life. not even during Saw II when the chick falls in the pit of hypodermic needles.
this discussion needs to end now.

Is it bad that I'm not only certain I've heard of genital bisections before, but that i've seen several examples?

What makes it worse is that every single picture has to be the brand new, still bloody goblets of flesh hanging from the shaft and precariously dangling by a small tendril of tissue.
Jesus fuck that must sting like a motherfucker. It's like you'd be standing there and all of a sudden you'd double over and start screaming and be all "Oh god my bits are twisted up!"

So I messed around with this
Im considering cropping it off away from the tombstones (blue-grey blobs) that I have been stalling doing, because they worry me.
If you see any glaring errors or something looks weird/ off lemme know

We shall see that at which dogs howl in the dark, and that at which cats prick up their ears after midnight.
Here's a self portrait sketch I had to do for a class tomorrow. The teacher specifically dislikes digital, saying that even graphite pencil is superior for sketching. But we could do the sketch in whatever medium we wanted. So I had to be an ass.
Some mediums ARE better for certain tasks than others. Like, for example, I think that you could (potentially, not me)do more with ink nib and brush work than you can do with a tablet. And at the same time I think that you can accomplish more subtlety with digital painting than you can with real painting (though Oil comes pretty close.)
That being said, I don't like it particularly when people write off any particular medium. Oil's better for realism than watercolor. Or at least easier (to me). But watercolor still has it's value in fluidity and style. Along with speed. So they both have worth. So to me someone saying "digital mediums are shit" is like me saying "oil can accomplish so much, no one should ever use watercolor."
Which, as anyone can surmise, is ludicrous. But no one contradicts these teachers (or professionals)for saying these things about a medium they're simply unfamiliar with and prefer not to use. Just realize it's a preference and get over it.

I'd imagine almost every school has a teacher like this.
Actually, most professors are like that. They're all baby boomer hippies that don't really understand computers or only use macs to little effect. (PC user, all the way, dawg) Not to diminish their skills or understanding of concepts, which is considerable. They, like most generations, are just afraid of the new.

I hate it when teachers say one medium is better than another
unless they say paint is better than graphite for painting
