A new profile picture, drawn in ballpoint pen, scanned, and digitally retouched and colored. I’m curious how long it’ll take before my avatar is picked up. I suppose most Fediverse users don’t update theirs regularly.

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!

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 microβblog Discovery Tab.

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.

I suppose I’ve decided not to run the marathon in eight days from when I write this. Too much has gone wrong in the past four weeks that haven’t yet been righted, not in the least this nasty cold I caught two weeks ago and just keeps buggering on.

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.

Rough ideas are perhaps wishy-washy, trite, or even dead wrong. The text is also in the alt attribute.

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.
