I did a bread I'm very proud of today. Cold proofing in the Banneton gave the surface an awesome texture and I'm really happy with my scoring. (Friendship with labe has ended, Victorinix chef's knife is my new best friend)

3 days post op and I can't eat it but I made bread.

Mulligan, that last loaf was actually wildly undercooked cuz I'm dumb so I bought a thermometer. 210F is the target.

Ayyy I'm starting to figure it out. 70% hydration. Jalapeno and white cheddar. Good oven spring

I think next time I need to see what it's like to overdo the browning tho and see how far it can be pushed

Ughhhhhh I baked my bread at too low a temperature and it didn't spring. 500F not 400F T_T

It's as flat as me 😭

Behold for I am maker of bread now

This was my first sourdough loaf, I should've taken a picture of the second but it came out awesome! Home made starter too :)

Got my friend a Warhammer model and decided to assemble one of my pile of shame

Ok I feel less bad now. My little guy came up to lay down in my office so I took a crack at drawing him.

His name is Astolfo and he's a precious precious bean.

Ngl I'm sick, my dog had to go to the emergency vet, my dad had a heart attack. I'm not really feeling this whole learning art thing right now.

I forced myself to do this one but I just can't bring myself to care. So I gave up. Idk hopefully I get that spark back in a few days

Day... Idk

Reaping some benefit from being a hobbyist lifter.

Well I know where my weaknesses are at least.
Day #10

Assembled some sigmar models (that I will be using for pathfinder) today. Can't bring myself to draw right now. Pretty distracted.

Did a couple pages of two minute gesture drawings.

Definitely a good idea. I officially need to buy a pencil sharpener.

Reading "Force Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators" by Michael D Mattesi. Trying to keep myself only doing one stroke for a line (need practice)
Day 9

Since I can't find the og artists name, I can't credit properly. But I tried to copy the character portrait for Miriam from Bloodstained Ritual of the Night

I pretty much hate everything about how this turned out. Day #8

Ya know that's not completely terrible. But man oh man is that road ahead of me long. Hopefully the days of quick progress keep on for a few more weeks though

Day 7.

Today it's back to basics (what does the difference in hardness mean)

My partner has a book on perspective they're gonna let me borrow

Day #6
November 22, 2024 at 6:08 AM
Today I'm attempting to draw balls. Shadows and perspective are hard. I'm enjoying the struggle though.

Today is #5 of learning to draw
November 21, 2024 at 5:55 AM
I literally made this account to show me learning art. I'm legitimately terrible. Life is easier if you don't let tripping on your face in public destroy you. Though it's a skill one develops.

Anyway I'm gonna try to learn ball and shadow tonight!
November 21, 2024 at 3:00 AM
I'm 30 years old and have always been angry that I couldn't draw. I'd try and get frustrated immediately.

Anyway, Day 4 of learning to draw.
November 19, 2024 at 9:50 PM
Literally the first thing I drew tonight was the best. How did I make the hair work? What magic did I weave?

Day 3 of learning to draw
November 19, 2024 at 4:36 AM
Decided to learn to draw. I've never been much better than stuck figures.

Anyway here's a cube I'm proud of. Day 2
