With Loops’ translation, it almost looks understandable, but it isn’t. Must have gotten a very few letters wrong.

I had fun being your doppelganger for 24 hours

*Shakes your hand* Deal

@ellette-giselle

Oof, that’s no good. My little sister didn’t break anything, but she was in a lot of pain from fallin on ice. Get better soon!

@loopylin

I’ll try. *Stands up and trips again, knocking you over*

@rae

Kay! I will try to remember to read these after finishing the weekly work.

@whalekeeper

No problem!

I’d like to hear your opinion on the stories!

@hybridlore

What is the origin of your last name?

Not sure. It means “blacksmith ironworker” so it probably had origins similar to “Smith”. Interesting thing is, I recently learned that there’s a few different variations, such as Isle (Finnish I think).

Eisele itself is German. I’ve actually met another Eisele whose ancestors came to the US a few…[Read more]

Hehe, the Tell-Tale Heart is pretty fun to read, just because of how dramatic it is. Dark, but fun.

I remember writing a short story about a guy who was the president or something and thought that the sun had fallen out of the sky and went crazy and told the press about it.

He should stop spending time with Chicken Little, that’s what I…[Read more]

After a couple weeks of contemplation, the only genre my project seems to fall into is ‘absurdist fiction.’

Me:

It fits, and it’s funny, but it’s so hard to explain to people. I’m just trying to imagine having a conversation with a writer friend. “I’ve got a deep epic fantasy world, how about you?” “I write absurdist fiction. I’m pretty happy…[Read more]

*SUBSCRIBES*

I need to read this, one hundred percent. I’m sorry I haven’t jumped onto this topic right away, school and thesis have been attacking all my cognitive functions.

@rae

Eeeeyyyyyy cool art!!

Cross hatching and stippling look good, but they take sooo long… And if you get impatient, it looks messy.

@ellette-giselle @hybridlore

well, you got closer than some people do XD

It’s pronounced eyesuh-la. Hopefully that makes sense. Some places will say it’s pronounced with an “ee” sound on the end instead of the “la” but I specifically know my Oma (who was actually my great grandmother and not my grandmother but she always wanted us to call her…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

I’ve been pronouncing your last name wrong (I’ve treated the /G/ as /G/ instead of /J/), but I think I’ve pronounced your first name right. YAY!

People mess up my last name a lot. Either they see it in writing and pronounce it wrong or they know how to pronounce it but can’t spell it. I have a friend who I’ve known since I was…[Read more]

@ellette-giselle

wow! That’s so cool! Is it lines, Xs dots? Like what makes cross hatch “cross hatch” If that makes sense?

It’s straight lines that often cross each other at different angles. The more lines, the darker the shadow.

Here’s a picture of some balls drawn in a couple cross-hatch styles compared to other drawing techniques (I didn’…[Read more]

How cold is it where you are? In Wisconsin it’s currently 8 degrees (Fahrenheit) with -10 windchill. And it’s several degrees warmer than it was yesterday.

@rae

Those are great! And the one of the little kid is incredible. Great job with all of them.

@keilah-h @elishavet-pidyon @loopylin @ellette-giselle

thanks

@ellette

How do you even do that!? I’ve never heard of that style!!!

I first heard about it from a How to draw book who used the technique combined with others to create textures in a drawing. Then another How to Draw book used something similar to create a cat head with pen. For…[Read more]
