Got some shading done, but I still have to figure out what to do about the acoustic panels on the wall. I haven't even really attempted that yet. I have some ideas about how I might try to go about this, but despite any appearances to the contrary, I really have no idea what I'm doing. I'm just kinda making it up as I go along.

The drawing from the previous post (with no graphics on the shirt) with basic shading and highlights added, giving a sense of depth. The acoustic panels on the wall still look completely flat.

Why is it that I always find some stupid little line or two that I forgot to draw when I go to colour? The bucket fill tool is a harsh mistress. Also, because the lines are anti-aliased, the bucket fill tool is not a silver bullet. I had to manually touch this up in a lot of places. Still better than colouring everything by hand though.

The decision to add the art to the shirt definitely complicated the process, still the finish line is within sight.

A basic colourised version of the drawing without the graphic on the tshirt from the previous post. Everything looks flat because it lacks any shading or highlights.

Because I'm a glutton for punishment, I'm going to do two different versions:
Version A: the same lineart drawing as above with some minor fixes

Version B: The same image with intricate artwork on the thirt included (the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles)

Here's the question: should I do the artwork on the shirt too, or should I just leave it blank? It's a bit of a pain, but I feel bad wasting all the work I did on the guidelines.

Interestingly enough, as I was painstakingly tracing out my guidelines, I noticed a colouring mistake in the graphic on the tshirt that I hadn't noticed in all the time I'd owned it.
A closeup of the graphic on the tshirt. It depicts the Ninja Turtles. The tails of Leonardo's mask are outlined in red. They are coloured green instead of the blue colour of the rest of his mask.

Got a request from @Katy Lamothe for my next drawing. Of course she would pick a picture where I'm wearing an intricate graphic tee. Here's a preview.

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.

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.

We got a little impatient waiting for it to reduce, but we made a delicious lentil dahl today.
A blue and white ceramic bowl filed with one half rice and one half lentil dahl. The dahl is a little more liquid than it should be (but still delicious)

So, I spent hours trying to fix it the way that I had planned and was met with frustration. Katy eventually had the idea to remove the cuffs, shorten the sleeves by about an inch, and reattach the cuffs. They were a little on the long side anyway.

Is it the neatest repair job ever? No. Are both sleeves exactly the same length? Also no.

Buy you know what? We spent hours working on this. It's good enough.

The left sleeve of my jacket. The sleeve is green and the stitching is black (because I didn't have green thread) and a little crooked. The fabric is a little worn but intact.
The right sleeve. It looks like the left except that there is a tear in the cuff that has been stitched shut.

My makeshift fix to hopefully keep the problem from worsening until I can come up with a more aesthetic fix.
The same sleeve from the previous post. The tear has been somewhat crudely stitched shut with black thread.

It has come to my attention that my favourite jacket is falling apart. I would like to repair it for two reasons:

  1. I love this jacket.
  2. I can't afford a new one right now.


I have no opposition to #VisibleMending.

Suggestions?

It doesn't look like that much of a difference but it really is. I think that "mushy" feeling I was feeling was the resistance from my pick scraping ever so slightly on the sides of the keyway.
The bottoms of the Master and dollar store locks side by side. The dollar store keyway is perhaps a couple millimetres smaller than the one on the Master lock

The biggest problem I'm having with this new lock is that my tension bar keeps slipping like so:

the underside of a padlock with a tension bar inserted and turned on an awkward 45-ish degree angle

When it does this, it doesn't leave enough room for the pick to move around freely. I've tried a using a wider tension bar, but while it doesn't slip, it also crowds out the pick just on its own.

This is what the key hole looks unobstructed:

a view of the underside of the lock. There is a small notch on the lower right side of the keyhole that is causing the nuisance.

Any suggestions on how I should proceed?

Just picked up a $3 "secure" lock from the dollar store. Let's see how long it takes me to get it open. I love how the diagram on the back shows six pins but I can tell by just looking at the key that it's four.

Here's an example of what I'm talking about.
A five step illustration describing what is supposed to be an "adjustable ring with a single crochet in the ring". The first step is shows a strand of yarn wrapped around a crochet hook. The subsequent steps get increasingly complicated and confusing.

You probably don't need to be able to read #teeline to tell which item on my to-do list was cleaning (and re-inking) my #FountainPens.

Life pro tip: do not leave 3D printed parts in a hot car...

Edit:

the phone holder from the previous post, bit kinda... melted with the support arm snapped off

Kitchener Public Library has discontinued their 3D printer program, but Waterloo Public Library hasn't.

In other news, I now have a custom phone holder for the car.

Edit: autocorrupt

Encountered my first mask ban in Canada. I had hoped we were smarter than this, but I suppose I'm not surprised. I guess they value their bottom line over public health, but it's a vape store, so I suppose that tracks.

Edit: autocorrect

Edit 2: It has been pointed out to me that there is an exemption for medical masks in the tiniest font imaginable at the bottom of the sign... almost as though they don't want you to read it.

@smellsofbikes I've got a MicroSD card that has adaptors to turn it into either a full-sized SD card, or a USB drive.

This weirdly reminds me of this scene from Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

This was the best photo I could find.
