Ugh Daniel, I'm sorry.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
(If you have drier noise concerns--be warned, they do bang to do their work, so)
Also that's about the fifth consecutive sentence I've ended with so.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I'm sorry, Daniel. That fucking sucks.

Daniel, can you take some time for yourself? Hide for a little, before looking for new horses?

Indeed, Daniel: that sucks. I'm sorry.

I have an art question, for people who're good at assessing images--composition, key, balance, contrast, and maybe even content. I'm finding some reference pictures lend themselves to a distinctly different drawing style (in my eyes). So if I use this [link] (shirtless boys kissing on the deck), I find it easy enough (aka not impossible, which it is 5/6 of the time) to get a result like this: [link] (boys, also kissing, also lounging)

Is it the lack of shadowing but still crisp contouring that least to me being able to do it? I'd like to recognise what pieces I need to put together when preparing one. Of course, consistency on my part is way non-negligible.
I'm toddling off to bed, but much appreciation in advance for advice from you artists, photographers, people with eyes, peoples with pencils, etc. I'm too close to the code to crack it.

Skipping yet again (though less than yesterday) because, according to the Buffista Calendar, today is Hil R.'s birthday.
Happy birthday, Hil! With lots of wishes for a great day and a wonderful year!

I'm sorry, Daniel. That sucks.
Happy birthday, Hil!

You have to remember that being a 5-time Olympic medalist means Hilary Knight has been playing hockey at an elite level at least 16 years. It's impossible for her to be a teenage girl less than 16 years old, thus the President's complete lack of interest.

It's a very clear image with relatively high contrast and not a lot of murky shaded areas, so it lends itself well to line drawing. That distinct outline that separates figures from background is a good element to look for in a photo reference for drawings.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Happy birthday, Hil!
