@peteolczyk @lenwen @demotlj Thank you so much for the support, advices, and encouragement. I will do my best to do a good job, and in the same time taking care of myself.

@Heather-Boyd This is just me tho. I would really prefer a new piece of good quality paper. I kinda feel like your cheaping out on me by reusing old paper. But then again this is me. Take this with a grain of salt. 🙂

@Phil-Cullen One thing I've noticed though is that "Colorize" style seems to work differently based on the program. Sketchbook, Photoshop and Procreate I know for certain differ wildly on how colorize interacts with the colors. Oddly, it works really well for Sketchbook in my opinion, but the other two just make the colors not reliable (at least on the two platforms I'm running on).

@Laurel-Aylesworth As an alternative to blender, you could have a look at Shapr3d
I’ve not used it for a while but its more intuitive and quicker to learn than blender.
I’m not sure if it’s still completely free.
The other snag is it needs the Apple Pencil.

@jdubz 🤣🤣🤣 you’ve joined the right club then 👍

Thanks @chrisaakins and @StudioLooong!

@VivianTong half circles are pretty clever. Thank you for the tip. I will try it out.

@Coley very interested I that

ok I ended up getting the link 🙂 Hope it gets sorted for everyone else!

@robgale OK THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR SHARING YOUR EXPERIENCE!

@demotlj Very well put. This is a nice and important reminder!

@Braden-Hallett 2020 does seem fast I will need to experiment for awhile the upgrade is $98 now, but that bundle does look good !

@TwiggyT no problem 🎨🙃 it’s fun to play about with it

@Gary-Wilkinson Awesome. Yes. It's great to hear about people's experiences, what they've arrived at through trial and error. I like that so many people are saying the same thing... basically spend a lot more time up front and the painting will go faster and you'll be happier with the results. I also like your comment about, if it's taking longer than the 20 hours (for you) it probably means something more fundamental isn't working.

Thanks!

@Chip-Valecek said in When is the cut off to sign up for the free 30 day trial?:

The offer will be available until Oct 31. Once you sign up for it you have 30 days. If you sign up Oct 1st it will end Oct 30th.

Thank you!

@BichonBistro ohhh yay enjoy! Mine isn’t as great as some of the others damn. I saw some on their website and was totally blown away.

@Amelia-Bothe yes I think I know what you mean. I also find it strange how an image can read better in one direction than another.

@Shara-Mills I use a simple (probably way too simple) sorting method.

Is it something you are capable of doing but choose not to? If yes, then it's a style choice.

Is it something you cannot do or hate doing and so choose not to incorporate it for 'style' reasons? If yes, then it is a weakness.

When in doubt, ALWAYS just keep creating and figure it out as you go 🙂

As for choosing what elements of reality to keep and what to let go I'm still kinda struggling with that question.

Good luck! Style is a weird, elusive and fickle little monster.

@MissMushy ANytime! GL on your masters adventures!

I just had a visit with a potential client that is looking like a good project. Our next steps will be going towards contracts. I started the contracts course and thought it would be great to look into tailoredlegalservices.com that Sara Payne was from.

I only got security errors trying to link to that site.

Anyone know if Tailored Legal Services is still a thing in 2019? Just website bugs? Does anyone know if there's something similar if it's not still around?

Thanks!
