On some paper usually. I prefer that yellow/green engineering paper. Having a nice straightedge is important, too.

But can you draw me 7 perpendicular red lines?

That video feels more and more real the older I get.

Why do you discriminate against blue engineering paper?

[โ€“] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

When I say engineering paper, this kind is what I mean. I've only ever seen it in white or shades of green and yellow. Where do you get it in blue?

I drew the line on a Huion tablet for years, and now it's like my brain is expecting the disconnect between my hand moving and the image appearing on my monitor, because drawing the line on paper feels so unnatural now.

Don't lose that skill!! Don't be like me

These days that's true for me as well, but I do miss the old blackboards and chalk.
