\"Paper<\/a>
Trahearne Pencil Sketch | Drawn with a 0.3 mm Staedtler mechanical drafting pencil<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Sketched Trahearne the other day when Krita froze, and I decided waiting in vain even though that only seems to work 10% of the time (this was not one of those times). Fortunately, I didn’t lose anything substantial since my last save. <\/p>\n

The full sketch has Malyck in it, but I don’t think he turned out as well. Might still post the full version later in this post at some point. The photo above is also an earlier version, and I slightly prefer this version – I think I overworked parts of it later on. Ah well, learning! Remembering how to draw with pencil again! <\/p>\n

My installation of Krita has been acting a little oddly, which I suspect might be because I have it installed in a portable installation on an external, and I think it is copied over from the previous external I was using. I’m not sure if that should affect anything or not, but I finally installed the latest version of Krita onto it. It immediately loads much more quickly now – hopefully there’ll be no more freezing, too! <\/p>\n

Also! You can see I did end up eventually acquiring the Hobonichi pencil board I semi-joked about way back in February!<\/a> :D It was a bit of a splurge purchase when I made an order to JetPens earlier this year for some notebooks. It ended up being very practical, though – sometimes I want to jot down a note right after doing something in the kitchen that requires me to wash my hands, and before the pencil board, I always had to wait a few minutes for them to completely dry, otherwise any residual moisture crinkled the paper. But now, with the pencil board, I can just jot down a note right away without needing to wait those moments. It also is very useful as a bookmark (it has currently been living on page 178, which is a chart I made during chapter 2 to plot every page’s progress for the entirety of the comic!). <\/p>\n

The last thing I use it for is as a smudge guard for pencil drawings, like this one, though I feel I did something wrong because it ended up smudging the drawing lol, that I later had to fix with some pinpointed erasing. And I don’t ever use it for its “intended” purpose, which is to put behind the current page, to draw over a flatter\/smoother surface. But it is so useful in these other ways, that I don’t mind this. And the pattern is too appealing! Tiny birds! <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
