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]

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 @keilah-h

*bows dramatically* I’ve been pronouncing your names right! Do I get cake?

@rae

Okay! Neat!

@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]

@hybridlore

I don’t know where the emphasis is on my name. Everyone just kinda lets it flow without much emphasis. So yeah, not really sure where it is…… lolololol

@rae

Hmm, like Liesl, but without the “L”

@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]

@rae

Oh okay, that makes sense. I like that look a lot. I think I have a few books where the artist does cross hatch with a pen and then fills in with watercolor.

Okay, well, I love your realistic type style, if you’re willing to do that. Would you be willing to draw Werner? He’s a young German doctor, dark hair, dark eyes, tall and slender.…[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]

@the_lost-journal

That’s how they said it when I lived in Italy.

EhL-EH-T   JHih-ZEHL

If that helps. Those pronunciation things never made sense to me.

@stephie

Haha! I’m no sure if that’s correct or not….. lol. I’m not sure how my name is pronouced in French.

My name is Anglo Saxon and ancient Britannic.

@keilah-h

Wait.

so how is your name pronounced?

I bet people on here murder my name. lol. You should hear some of the weird pronunciations I get when people read off my name.

@highscribeofaetherium

It was -30 yesterday morning. Not sure what it is right now.

Cold.

Very cold.

@rae

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

YAY!!!!!!!
Ummm…… do you like little kids or grownups best?

@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]

@godlyfantasy12

Oh I really like the look of this!! Have you heard of/read Dust? This reminds me of it.

Anyhow! This looks really cool!

You two loons are insane. And….. the bad thing is when i get notifications I get them in the name that you have given yourself, not your tag. You hear I am thinking I’m a…[Read more]

AH!
