Motivation
The little people don’t need much to make them do what you want them to do. Refined sugar will often do it, hyperactively so.

I’ve done some research on drawing with a ballpoint pen, and it seems it’s in the indelible nature of the medium that practice is quintessential.

Commitment
Romantic involvement often doesn’t lead to immediate engagement or even infatuation, maybe a slight tolerance of being close at best. It’s recipe for disappointment and tragedy as life put its claws into a budding relationship.

Ritual
It is said all things come in threes. Black in the numbers, black in the thoughts and black (and blue) in the face. Online buyers, beware of all kinds of shenanigans today!

Retain
How do you keep your employees in your failing social media company? Well, those who aren’t bound with feudal bonds as foreign workers you lock up with strict contracts under NDA, and throw away the key. It seems ye olden days of cruel overlords are back, baby.

I guess there are lessons to be learned here.
- Keep that point clean!
- Spend more time on analyzing the big shapes, then carefully draft then looking at the reference, not the drawing.
Other than that, I’m pleased with this messy drawing, for now.

Great ballpoint drawing tips from Jess Karp on YT. The most important:
- forget it’s a ballpoint pen; treat it as a pencil
- use a paper scrap to regularly clean the tip
- build your values in layers
Inspired me to sketch some faces from the micro∙blog Discovery Tab.

As per that previous post for microblogvember, I need to teach myself to draw everyday objects to a level that it’s recognizable as the object. Random scribbles aren’t going to cut it.

I had no idea there were boxes filled with delicious food you can mindlessly eat from, like a sheep in a meadow.

Ice
Her frozen lips felt odd. Days she had been looking for her herd. There’s warmth and safety in numbers. More eyes see further. The biting wind makes it hard to think. Soon sleep will come, everlasting slumber.

Repeat
In the olden days we all could still write computer programs to illustrate today’s prompt. It isn’t old, though, but retro. It was a brief period when one person could still fully grasp every aspect of their computer and create carefree.

Novel
Tell me a story, one you haven’t told me before and can be read in a book or any medium stories are told in. Make it a good story I can get lost in.

It delivers a cushioned ride after so much exhaustion that a towel was thrown.

Some people like to enter a scene unannounced for dramatic effect, to draw attention to themselves. It inevitably results in a lot of eye rolling and sighs. It all looks so natural on TV, but in real life, not so much.

Since this month I’m doing ballpoint sketches in my notebook, it makes only sense to upload a selfie in a similar style.

As the sole survivor of a planetary accident, you’ve gotta accessorize and establish a brand before expanding into broader ventures.

Aluminium
Very energy intensive to make, cheap enough for 500 kg on average per person per year to be consumed in foil, cans, cars, airplanes, and what not. It’s so reactive, that it forms a dull layer of oxide on its surface almost immediately, in turn pretty inert.

Leave
With all this financial brouhaha going on in my life, the urge to let go of my sanity is rising rapidly. So what to ditch and what to keep? Since I’m likely not the only one, lay-offs are inevitable. First-world problems, for certain. Why can’t that Russian idiot go?

With the falling of the leaves I had to turn on the heat in my home. It wasn’t as carefree as in yesteryears, because fuel prices have risen spectacularly, especially of natural gas. I blame Russia.
