I cannot help but feel like these drawing methods are more hassle than carrying around an actual sketchbook and a few pens/pencils. Whatever makes you happy, I guess; at least you're not typing shit into an image generator and saying this makes you a great artist.

The author of this, pmjv, is also the champion of unix surrealism, which some of you may recognize and others may enjoy.
Somehow, in spite of noting the unusual physicality of this approach, I was profoundly unprepared to see a physical ruler being used on a touchscreen. Nice.

People creating things that didn't exist before is so refreshing, and Prahou is such an amazing artist.
Making it look easy (or for the untrained eye like silly scribbles on old thinkpads) he created a whole world around his characters, and the talent and rigor is super impressing.
I would recommend anyone to dive into it!

I don't think "crack the screen open" is the best choice of words here …

I’ve never used 9front but I love the whole culture around it in posts like these.

Is the Stanley Lieber referred to by the title someone other than the Stanley Lieber (a.k.a. "Stan Lee") of Marvel Comics fame?

What's this? What's 9front? Who's Stanley Lieber? This is so confusing.

this doesn't actually teach anything about how to draw. there is one thing about using a layer for drafting, but apart from that it is how to use this very specific piece of software if you already have some skills and techniques
