@Snatcher Even the designer of Hero in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate?

@Princess_Lilly
I personally will not give ridiculous task for the students as I want to measure their capabilities to do the task. I keep seeing some of my students especially the boys who have tendency of being sloppy in handwriting are also sloppy in their lifestyle so I want to teach them how to fix their sloppy behavior started from fixing their handwriting and drawing style to be better. And I also keep telling them how important the tidiness in real life and how peoples will judging them based on their tidiness.

@HenryKibble you mean akira toriyama? That man is a legend, of course, he doesn’t just draw goku out of thin air, and sure maybe he can draw some things without reference, but he as been drawing for years! He has drawn goku many, many, many, many, times, it’s something he has spent over decade doing, so of course he doesn’t need it all the time I’m sure. But you haven’t been drawing for over a decade have you? Neither have a lot of artist, remember, the tallest mountain used to be a stone.

And even then he probably still uses reference from time for specific things.

@Princess_Lilly Why would they fight eachother

@EllaTheQueen6 because pokemon do

@Anti-Matter guys being sloppy is kinda normal tho, isn't it

I really hate people who judge others based on tidyness (or anything else, really). I'd teach kids not to judge anyone, because everyone is trash in their own way, but I am a hopeless optimist

@Princess_Lilly
But when started from grade 4 and you are still sloppy in everything, it needs a quick correction.
Tidiness is a must from my point of view.
It will make you discipline and organized.
They need to have sense of tidiness since from young age so when they grow up, they still able to be tidy and organized.
I also find some students at my school are really tidy from their handwriting, coloring and the way the organize their stuffs.
I can see they got taught from their parents very well. It become their habits.

@Snatcher No, I mean, I used to doodle a LOT when I was little. But I was forced to give it up halfway through middle school because my parents and teachers needed me to get through my classes (although considering how boring they are, you can't blame me for wanting to draw little egg-things running around getting into wacky mischief).

Then I tried getting into art in high school, but doodles weren't allowed, we only could draw "realism".

After a few failed attempts to try again after that, I gave up and spent roughly 20 years buying commissions, then I decided to start drawing for myself because artists keep jacking up the prices for their commissions.

@Anti-Matter being tidy in colouring tells you that they were raised well?

well, I think milage may vary, I don't know a single person who can afford the time to be tidy, things are too fast and hectic all the time.

The world is a sh*tstorm and you can't stop it, you have to learn to surf the waves

Being tidy is pretty important. Idk about Anti Matters country and how they teach, but where I’m at coloring in the lines, writing, help motor skills and that’s important. Tidiness is also important for organization. It just doesn’t look good to your boss/teacher/professor/whoever to keep things disorganized. But each to their own.

@Princess_Lilly
But it doesn't mean you can make an excuse to pity yourself.
Being tidy takes a lot of determination and time.
I can see myself when being tidy since from elementary school, it still carried when I already grow up.
My handwriting is really good (the reason my principal asked me to write the students certificate every year), my hand drawing is really good, my coloring is also really good.
Sometimes I can be sloppy for a while but I still have tendency to be tidy as possible.

@Summer235 it could be true but most people just dont have time. You can try to look like you can get things done or you can spend that time and effort on actually getting things done.

@Anti-Matter nobody tries to pity themselves. And yeah being tidy is good if you have the time. Most of the time, most of the people dont. You have 10 things on your head with another 3 coming and if you start sorting them and putting them into pretty columns, you wont get anything actually done

My handwriting is barely legible, but I can still be a very good chaos coordinator

Today may be the last of 80F (26C) temperatures here as we head into fall. So, I was damn sure I was going to ride some pumptrack today, a nice sunny day. Pretty good day of riding. Did some fun lines, squeezed some moto whips into some of the airs. I rode till my leg muscles were exhausted.

I also heard a cicada today while I was riding. I don't know if I've ever heard one after september. Cicadas are the sound of summer, and I love summer, so I always miss when they're gone.

No way I just wrote an entire TED talk on a track where you drive on a rainbow around the solar system as an Italian colorful plumber 😭

@HenryKibble I mean it depends on the artist, some cost more for commission then others, they think th e price is worth there time, do you think that there time is worth the price? Obviously not since you said you are doing it yourself.

But pretty much, just don’t feel bad about using reference.

I just
You ever got that moment where you don't speak a word of Spanish but you've been listening to random Spanish anime covers for the past hour
No? Just me? Ok then.

@Snatcher BTW, how does a tiny rock even turn into a mountain? I think your little metaphor would make more sense if you said "even the tallest tree started off as a tiny acorn".

Rocks turning into mountains...pah!

@HenryKibble mountains can be worn down and turn into little rocks. 🤔

@HenryKibble I mean because there pretty much a bunch of rocks crushed together over a bunch of years. Plus it’s just a metaphor, so maybe I should have said stone, whatever the case is you get the idea.

Sometimes I say stuff that I cringe at later.

@IAmTheSword I dunno who you are, but I thought you were my best friend for a second
