Alright so last night I said hey folks, I'm 40, dyspraxic as heck and can't draw, and it bothers me, pls recommend me a beginner-friendly course, and drawabox was recommended among others.

Started it today. Dude's telling how to draw smooth lines that don't wobble; use your whole arm not your wrist, practice each stroke first to build muscle memory, put your eyes on the end, do the whole thing in one constant motion at one constant speed and don't think until you're done with the line, I nod along and go alright and give it a try and ffs this is welding, this is literally MIG welding, it's also how you spray paint and clearcoat, it's how you brush polycrylic onto wood, and I've been drawing crappy wobbly lines my whole life because no bugger ever told me "Hey Dan why don't you try moving the pen like you're spraying lacquer onto a pinball playfield."

Still cannae draw, but at least I've figured out how to do straight smooth bloody lines with a pen, wish I'd put two and two together ten years ago

@ifixcoinops with lines I found that paying attention to where my eyes are looking really helped with accuracy. But that isn't really transferrable to ellipses. My first efforts look as though I'm not trying, though I am

@jake @horrorbooks yes indeed

Standout faves are:

My Heart is a Chainsaw by Stephen Graham Jones (just started the sequel yesterday)

The Pallbearers Club by Paul Tremblay (melancholy and not so scary, but great)

Several more I've really liked. Keen to read some Australian (or, at least, non US) authors

    @jebba This is true. I have played with Calckey and it's fun. I'm not wedded to any particular software, but a lot of admins I respect are running Mastodon (or something similar like Hometown). I think the community governance aspect is the important bit.

    Here's a list of servers in Australia and NZ if you're looking into migrating from mastodon dot social aka Spamalot, or if someone you know is https://thefediverse.au/
