More back to basics stuff. Just working on expressions, head shapes, angles, and features. I remember being a kid and pumping my sketchbooks full of this stuff. The work is still fun, but a lot more difficult to make happen when you‘re old with a house full of rugrats! 😆
I've been trying to reignite long dormant creative fires by going back to basics. Working on perspective exercises from the ubiquitous classic "How to Draw..." by Scott Robertson and Thomas Bertling. It's not done, but I'm done with it for now. Feels good!

Casey Stoner’s talent was so great that in 7 top class seasons he won 38 races, stood on 69 podiums, and won 2 titles, but still had a “what if” career. 20 years ago he made his top class DutchTT debut with LCR Honda, finishing 4th. In 7 top class races at Assen, he podiumed 6 times, winning twice
Am we to believe that Gigi Dall'Ignia used the word "precocity" - or at least its Italian equivalent - to describe Pedro Acosta? Really? It fits, but really? 😂 precocity [prɪˈkɒsɪti] 1. noun form of precocious Looking forward to 2027!
It has been MANY years since I last read through the entirety of the Akira manga. I have been going through the collected volumes, hoping to jumpstart my motivation and break out of this creative funk. I'm really appreciating the lettering/sound effects this time! 😆
Herman Corrodi, Night on Mount Athos (1880), via u/Rembrandt_cs in the r/DarkRomanticism subreddit. No offense to the photographers of the world, but who needs cameras when humans can paint like this! 🤯
Damn this cursed AI slop! 🤣 I was sincerely hoping it was real! Here's a legit one from an MSN article from a few months ago in the interest of redemption.
Things are going well. The President is in great shape and ready to lead the US into a golden age.
I don't know about you, but seeing a sitting US Senator characterize POTUS' threat to escalate an illegal, ongoing war to a war of annihilation as a distraction is insane. Suggesting that this war is a distraction from corruption, rather than a direct, violent expression of it, is deranged.
POTUS’ Easter message. The dumbest people alive turned the country over to a demented monster and his cabal of amoral sociopaths. I think we’re finally great again.
I'm way passed my prime and I know that I'm completely irrelevant where the game industry is concerned. I haven't played a Ys game since the Neo-Geo was a thing. I opened GOG to see if there are any interesting games for fossils in their Spring sale. This listing was on the front page. 🤯
Anyone else getting this when trying to load the videopass live feed? I've tried every browser installed on this machine to no avail.
Finally worked a drawing from start to finish in CSP. I'm just trying to learn the tools and climb out of the void. This is the first time I have ever used Daub's pencils, inks, washes, and watercolors. If anyone is thinking about picking them up, particularly enjoyed the ink and wash brushes!

We get Apple TV+ as part of our sub package, so I decided to watch qualifying from Australia. Good grief, things do not look good for anyone not driving a Mercedes. Those lap differentials are nasty! Good luck and godspeed to the rest of the field...and the fans who watch this stuff regularly.
Hold on to your butts folks, we could be in the September-into-October period on this chart from 1929. 😵💫 en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wall_St...

It's true! The Lucky Strike bikes, Rainey's Marlboro-Yamaha, Stoner's Marlboro-Ducati. 🤌

Keep hoping we'll get higher resolution versions of Ducati's GP26 launch pictures, but so far, it seems like the largest images anyone is sharing are 1200x800ish. I like the matte/glass red finish and the racing stripes. We're getting closer to the first tests!
