I've been down a YouTube rabbit hole working on improving my art. I've always been somewhat decent at replicating something I can see, but when I have to draw something from my head, the poroprtions always looked kind of off.

I've watched a bunch of videos by a couple different artists, but I've found this one who has a whole channel teaching in a way that seems to work for me. My anatomy drawing (which has always been my Achilles' heel) has rather vastly improved in a remarkably short period of time, and I've been happy with the progress... at least until I compare them against the artist's examples. Hers are way better.

Then I have to remind myself: I've been at this a few days. Of course the professional artist is going to do a better job than me.

Dead priest? you call a “fixer”

The Wolf: Jimmie, lead the way. Boys, get to work.
Vincent: A please would be nice.
The Wolf: Come again?
Vincent: I said a please would be nice.
The Wolf: Get it straight buster - I'm not here to say please, I'm here to tell you what to do and if self-preservation is an instinct you possess you'd better do it and do it quick.
Jules: No, Mr. Wolf, it ain't like that, your help is definitely appreciated.

Yes, like I said, in basic regular expressions those characters only have special meaning when escaped. In extended regular expressions, they have special meaning unless escaped.

Both types of regular expressions are well documented in the latest Single UNIX Specification from The Open Group. Older versions of SUS are available from Debian contrib (or non-free?).

onpoli, healthcare, security breach

Just got a letter in the mail that our healthcare information may have been compromised in a potential data breach. The hospital was very adamant that it wasn't their system that was compromised, but the systems of a third-party contractor used by the province.

Dear government, I take great pains to secure our personal systems. Can you please stop authorizing deals to hand over our sensitive information to sketchy third-party contractors without our consent? It's your responsibility to vet them. You don't just get to wash your hands of it when they inevitably screw it up.

Krit

The only thing I think is bad about the shirt artwork is that the text is not in a position it can be easily understood. Other than that it looks good to me.
If you are using anything other than a mouse you will probably get things better setting accurately the brush dynamic options. Also I believe Krita has a threshold setting for the smooth.
Those are just my views and opinions, not meant to mess up your way of doing things.

I know it's a little late to cash in on the #caturday points, but here's another drawing I did of @Benny in #Krita. This time, in addition to cell shading, I also threw in some highlights. Also, this time his rear end isn't featured.
Drawing of a brown and white cat in a blue tunnel with a yellow spiral trim. He is laying comfortably, looking toward the viewer, with his two front paws outstretched in front of him.

Decided to dust off my copy of #Krita and play around with #drawing again. This is my current work-in-progress. I'm pretty happy with how it's turning out considering I'm pretty much a novice.
Line drawing of my cat, Benny, laying on his cat climber by the window. The angle is from beneath, and only his rear end and one paw hanging down are visible.

@silverwizard No, they're antacids. If someone were going to steal a pill, the ADHD meds were in the same organizer.

There are many benign possibilities. It's possible that when I loaded the organizer, I accidentally put only one of those pills in it (I take two a day). It's possible that since I was late with meds today, I got the schedule wrong, and accidentally took one at the wrong time. These are much more likely.

Still, I'll keep an eye on the situation.
