@Booderdooder: oh nice. what is your job?

@Bonnnie: I'll have something to look forward to and plan for tomorrow, so probably!
@eyry: I work retail. I'm basically a cashier that's in charge of the other cashiers lmao.
We all have assortments of highlighters on us, so that was what I used, along with pen.
I grew up using whatever I could find to make art, so I like to think I've gotten pretty good
at using mechanical pencils and crayola markers to make whatever
@Booderdooder: ohhh cashier leader :> haha it's cool you have downtime/space to draw though
ahh yeah I mostly drew in pencil/black and white for a long time when I was drawing on paper because I felt like coloring ruined my stuff xD and then I started drawing digitally and found lines were sooo hard |D so then went into a phase of trying to avoid lineart lmao
but now I draw with pen again to practice on paper

@eyry: Oh, that's so interesting. I really didn't like coloring my stuff for the same reason,
but I went the complete opposite end with digital art. I LOVE lineart, I hate coloring lmao.
@Booderdooder: haha since getting clip studio paint recently, I'm finding lineart not as bad
much smootherrrr
much smootherrrr

@Booderdooder: yay! I’m happy to hear that! I hope you have a wonderful day tomorrow!
@eyry: I've never tried that one, but I've heard a lot of good things about it.
I've been using Sai for years, so I think it would take me time to get used to something new OTL
@Bonnie: Thanks! I already got up and had a refreshing face wash and face mask, so we're off to a better start.
Do y'all have any weekend plans?
@Bonnie: Just vibing this weekend. That's good, too.
I'm not sure if I need to get ready for my trip now or tomorrow, waiting on my boyfriend to tell
me what the plan is so far >>; so I'm just twiddling my thumbs.
@Booderdooder: oh yeah I always wanted to use SAI but never could because I've always had a Mac. so yeah CSP is pretty great haha I'm not really learning as much about its functions as I could probably.

@Bonnie: Back from my vacation within my vacation!
How was your weekend?
@eyry: I've never had a Mac. I was loaned an iPad to use my senior year of high school, but that's about it.
Oh yeah, I'd recommend finding some speedpaints by artists that use CSP. Watching people use SAI
is how I learned there's MUCH easier and faster ways to do things I was already doing (bless you, opacity preservation).
@Booderdooder: hahaha yes opacity lock is a great one
I should find out what the keyboard shortcuts are for some things at the least |D I'm used to the defualt ones from photoshop and they're not all the same xD

@Booderdooder: my weekend was fine! I gotta get back into the swing of things though!
@eyry: Yeah, that would make sense. I could probably make drawing/painting a lot faster
if I bothered to use key commands. I click through
all the menus just to undo something OTL
I first learned to paint digitally on MS Paint >>; then my dad gave me his copy of Photoshop
I wasn't used to how FLUFFY brushes could look.
@Bonnie: I feel you. I had a week off of work and spring break from classes,
so I was trying to remember how to do anything at work last night,
and now I'm totally lost in class. I was late to
my first class of the day because I couldn't remember what time it started...
What's got you thrown out of swing?
@Booderdooder: this weekend. This class is ending today and the time change and whatnot has me feeling lost but I’ll get what I need done
@Bonnie: Oh yeah, the time change threw me off too @-@
I had stayed out late the night before, and when I woke up early to get things done in DC,
I didn't realize I'd only gotten 5 hours of sleep. It explained a lot that day lmao
@Booderdooder: I'm so used to the photoshop ones and I really should find out which one is for moving the canvas/layer. it's v on photoshop and I keep pressing that key but it's not it xD
I've tried to hitting other buttons to see if I'll happen upon it, but alas it hasn't worked out yet |D
undo is at least the same. and brush/pen/eraser are logical enough/the same
but move!! what is move xD

I am back! It took me a while to get back home this week between classes and work.
Though with COVID-19, my classes are being switched to "online", so we'll see how that goes.
Work, of course, will make me come in until I die.
Anybody around? What's the state of things where you live?
