@xin-li I saw this work in the book 🙂 now I know who you are talking about.

@Jeremy-Ross Oh cool! Thanks for the heads up!

Someone on FB helped me. I wish I had asked three hours ago! I will leave this up with the fix...it might help someone else. Soooo simple!
Try resetting your text attributes. It would be in the options in the Character panel. I think it says Reset Character or something.

Thank you Lisa.

Welcome Barbara! This looks more or less like a professional editorial image to me!

Hello again fellow artists!
So guys, listen!

Staying safe from the virus and being Quarantined at home sure is interesting. You find time to deal with a lot of stuff, and also concentrate on stuff that you want.
So I have been thinking how can I help in this situation!

In order to help some artists that might feel a bit cornered right now, I am giving away free lineart designs for you to color or tweak however you see fit!
The linearts are mostly Fanart designs, cause most of my Instagram requests were Fanart.

If you have any fellow artist or any child that might feel good with those lines, please notify me!!

Share the word, so that other fellow friend artists learn about this too!

Let's all do what we can for the world and help in any way we can think of!

Stay safe and healthy!
G-Chris

Ps.this is the link of the original Instagram post, if you feel more comfortable communicating from there! I also upload some of the examples! Hope it brings happiness to someone!!

@jdubz Children are the beauty of the world. They contain a genuineness that so many adults get striped of over the coarse of time.

Could a person not have been draw to a practice simply because they love to do it regardless of knowing what it is exactly? For your friend who has but didn’t know doesn’t mean they were just gifted with this skill. It could also be a possibility that they were drawn to a practice that builds it up naturally without even intentionally knowing it was a practice.

I believe that it is that intuition and natural unconscious practice of said thing.

For example I do not listen music and sounds like my cousin does. She has a keen awareness to music notes before she knew what they are. Didn’t mean it was something untaught just means it was a natural attraction to an aspect of life. Constantly practicing before she knew what practicing was.

I still do not believe that people are allotted a gift. Or you are just “born with it.” I have four boys and at every birth I learned that they were totally dependent on me with no abilities, but with endless amount of potential. Watching them grow I recognized glimpses of what guided them to be who they are. Still there is much unknown. I do believe people can have a better understanding of different aspects of life even at a younger age. I just believe that people work at these things during their life especially in their childhood.

The brain is the instrument of knowledge, the mind is the use of knowledge and the conscience is the manipulation of the brain to produce mind.

No worries at all. Thanks for the reply and food for thought.

I’ll give another example. Kim jung gi explained that he was drawing 3D shapes in kindergarten when the other students were learning what shapes are. Many would say that he was gifted with the ability to see in perspective. However, he would tell you it came with practice. Not just our typical idea of practice but also the tasks here and there that enhances our abilities that we do not even know is practice.

Anyway much love and have a blessed day!

@chrisaakins Reminds me of the time when I was in 3D computer animation school in the mid-90s. We all whined why we all had to take figure drawing classes when we’d be using computers to draw. The instructor told us, knowing how to draw would make us better at our craft. We quIckly learned how right she was.

I couldn't find the original post...

The Georgia Aquarium has live feeds from their exhibit tanks. That would be eastern time zone, US. Not sure if they are on at night. I've got it running now. It's very calming watching whale sharks and a cute, little sting ray doing loop-de-loops.

They also have an online art contest for kids. So maybe your little ones will be inspired by the fish and can send in an entry.

Hope everyone is safe and sane and getting a lot of artwork done.

Cheers!

@Marsha-Kay-Ottum-Owen Just saw it. So cute. Love the text!!!

@Jeremy-Ross thank you so much.

@Adam-Thornton That's a really good suggestion. I've "signed" things over and over again but I've never really sat down to think of even what I want it to look like. I've always just sort of thought - it will happen! haha

I really like your suggestion and I'm going to go see what it is I want my signature to represent. Perhaps I'll no longer feel the need to hide it haha

@MissMushy Good job! Pat yourself on the back, for spreading that message.

And thank you.

Haha, this is so much fun! I am going to save your picture!

@Jeremy-Ross thanks Jeremy!

We're on our first day of stay home orders in Wisconsin, USA. I'm out in the country so nothing really changes for me. We have only one reported case in the county although I'm sure there are more so I'll time my grocery shopping for an off hour and wash up as soon as I return.

I started a new story about my electric car, Ruby. In it, Ruby is asked to deliver medical supplies and meals during the quarantine. She has to drive a long way and is worried about her battery. Then she discovers that, in her haste to help, she forgot to bring her charging cord. Steep hills on the way to a remote clinic in bad need of supplies really drain her reserves. She doesn't know what to do. Think.Think. Think. She's got it! Ruby rolls down the steep hills with her brakes on to increase the regenerative charging she gets from her wheels. She makes it back home to her charger with just enough battery to roll into her snug garage.

I'll need to insert some tried and failed attempts before the brake thing. I'm trying to use EV terminology where it fits.

Other than that, I'm really glad we have such great people here on the forum. Social media is pretty ugly right now. This is a safe haven for a little interaction. I'm doing some spring cleaning and, joy of joys - I found an extra roll of toilet paper in the back of the bathroom closet! Cheers!

I haven't been on here for awhile but, I just want to say that I'v been looking around at all the art and I am so impressed with all of you. Keep up the good work 🙂 Stay safe and healthy too!

@Leah-Katz I think if you subscribe you'll be able to get it. It looks like its just an offer for current subscribers. @Nyrryl-Cadiz subbed last Thursday and got the bonus months today. Adobe have a decent help chat so it's worth asking them if they have any offers for new subscribers. When I got my sub renewed it was just before black friday and they reimbursed me when I asked and gave me the black friday offer, which I was paying £50 all apps and got it for £30 per month.

@Jeremy-Ross thanks!
