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!

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.
My temperature regulation is ferwonked. I'm blaming the flu shot. Predicting a day of variable layers.
OMG, my coworker just came back from vacation with a video of her baby niece laughing so hard she falls over and it's the cutest thing I've ever seen. We're trying to get her to put it on the internet.
below freezing here last night. 32 degrees when I woke up. Double tights for me since I work in a old trailer.
Paging Steph! My school is looking for an editor to help our nurse researchers prepare their papers for publication. They have been apparently having trouble finding one. It is part time and my boss thinks that distance working might be possible. If this sounds interesting to you I can explore getting a better job description and get you contact info
