thanks! the blocky triangular brush informing much of the shape language to this approach.

thanks ... so long ago now...

thanks, I've started using the trinagle brushes again for blocking and colour flatting - I missed that graphic blockiness it gives.

very kind thanks!

I may or may not have made a few videos about Sketchbook which are up on the Tubes. Apologies for the dreary tone of my voice if you venture that far...

anecdotal perhaps, but one of the big -if not biggest- game changers for me is mapping the pan/zoom tool ('puck') to the pen button, essentially being able to navigate the drawing quickly and seemlessly without a keyboard makes the whole drawing experience quicker, more fluid + natural.

I've been using it since about 2010-11. For all sketching, drawing and painting. It was the first to have rulers and ellipse drawing tools that allow you to keep stroke pressure etc. Simple but the best digital drawing experience in my experience. I'm cintiq based so that may have some bearing too.

thanks Ste, usual process of drawing and colouring in Sketchbook Pro then grading in Ps until it looks good (or better than was, at least)

Amazing, I appreciate you buying this one too, I hope the print quality is good. Thanks!

not sure, something to do with accounts being deleted or just those in charge hating the user base or I don't know.

not sure if this will do it?

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

oh cool! I remember Jess talking about this!

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

stand by

exactly - the immeadiacy of sm is the appeal - and the curse!

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

Yeah I did think about adding a blog page to my website...

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

right, need to get my asccount up to date over there...

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

yeah haven't been on one for about 20 years. Maybe a very large Whatsapp chat group?

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

I think - as usual - those running the joint hate the user base.

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

i haven't used a forum in years - yeah, I guess it's quite a different experience these day.

ᴄᴀʟᴜᴍ ᴀʟᴇxᴀɴᴅᴇʀ ᴡᴀᴛᴛ @calumalexanderwatt.bsky.social · 2d

not right now, i could fix one up maybe- with the text?
