    Doodle 101: Live-streaming, multi-stream, and Art Education

    Hi, friends, the other day, I worked on our live-streaming platform for doodle 101. During that time, I built a small PowerShell script to replace the text within a file. OBS has a widget that allows me to select a text file and present the contents on the screen. In effect, the script will increase engagement with the audience by providing them with some nid bits about me. Then, I plan to give the code away on Gumroad or Patreon, or my blog for a small optional donation. In short, I’m glad that the code is working on our live-streaming platform for doodle 101.

    Doodle 96: Alphonse Muka, iMac Giveaway, Live Stream

    Hi, friends, streaming my thoughts for a second and trusting that I have a doodle 96 to write. Sometimes the ideas don’t come right away. But given the right inspiration and genuine fun, then something gives way. For example, I had many thoughts in the morning pages, like getting back to my friends or looking up a famous artist Alphonse Muka. Alphonse’s was recommended to me when I was discussing my need to build out a Twitch overlay. Therefore, I found Alphonse and his paintings series, Times of the day, for the doodle 96.

    Drawing Plan 86: Eczema, Music, and Aspiring Artists

    Hi, friends for the drawing plan 86, I wasn’t thinking about art, but my issue with Eczema on my hands. For example, I had thoughts of examining my skin and running tests. Also, I want to figure out the cause of inflammation. For one thing, I will need to run many days of examinations. To point out, the food we eat is the building blocks of our body. For this reason, I will have to test each item and see the effect on my body. As a result, the food is the culprit—namely, carbohydrates or fats and or even proteins.

    Drawing plan 85: Willful AANYC, Subscribers, and Thumbnailing

    Hi, friends, I got stuck with a meetup with 140 subscribers for the drawing plan 85. Also, nobody attends the sessions in the last two weeks. However, I have a few ideas to try out before I give up on hosting Aspiring Artists Meetup. For one, I was thinking of locating followers of Reuben Lara and see if people use the Art DIET plan to improve their illustrations. Then, I can ask them if they are interested in helping me host. Afterward, I can set up a new time slot to run the meetup to give people more options to join. Meanwhile, I’m sending emails to the meetup subscriber list, so people are aware that we are doing events. Therefore, for the drawing plan 85, let’s not give up on Aspiring Artists Meetup.

Also, I need to spend some time going through our meeting’s outline to come up with a few interview questions. Therefore, let’s be excited about art programming for the drawing plan 81.

    Drawing plan 80: Final Fantasy, IINYC, Stubborn Artist

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 80, I convinced myself to have fun and play Final Fantasy 7 Remake after dinner. While playing, I realized that I made it to chapter 6. Also, I’m up to the part where I have to blow up reactor 5. On our way to reactor 5, we bumped into Roach, who tried to destroy us as we biked through the train tunnels. After the showdown, we made it to the top where reactor 5 hovers over sector five slums. I’m thrilled that I got to play a little while I don’t play games as often as I would like. Therefore, for the drawing plan 80, let’s keep playing Final Fantasy 7 Remake

    Drawing plan 77: Terrytown, Lyndhurst, and Aspiring Artists

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 77, yesterday we traveled to Terry Town and had a good time. For example, the town has a lot of history. Also, it’s known for it’s a headless horseman and historic Cemetery near the Sleepy Hallows area. While I don’t grasp the story behind headless horseman, the Cemetery was interesting. For example, a friend of mine told us a story of a stone carving of an angel whose popularity rose and suddenly fell. For instance, many people wanted to mimic and have that angel represent them in some way. Such as a statue for a burial. Besides, the angel’s inspiration, whose artist chose the face, was a dancer who gives special services to men. Therefore, I enjoyed the stories at the Cemetery, so let’s travel more to Terry Town.

    Drawing plan 75: Flexible, Careful and Aspring Artists

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 75, I wanted to purchase a new artwork tool. I was on OfferUp setting up my shop. Then, I got an idea to search for a new Wacom Cintiq. After messaging a few people, I realized I shouldn’t ask for advice if I’m not ready to purchase the item for the price point. Also, I was hoping that chatting would convince a lower price. After all, I learned something about myself. Before asking, think about my goals because your question will affect many people. Therefore, think before you leap into the drawing plan 75.

    Drawing Plan 74: Mistakes, smart focus, Art Duplication

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 74, I stopped doing the 250 box challenge because I made a huge mistake. Also, according to the instructions, I was supposed to correct my diverging lines after each paper sheet. However, I did the opposite. Therefore, for the drawing plan 74, I plan to start over and learn from my mistake.

    Drawing plan 73: Box Challenge. Attentive Reading. Art Education

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 73, I’m thrilled to announce that I’m half-way through the 250 box challenge. Afterword, I need to go through each box with a red pen and find my mistakes. For example, I will check for diverging lines. However, after I find some error, how do I learn from my mistake? I mean, I have a heck of a lot of boxes to go through. Perhaps the best plan is to reach out to the author on YouTube or Discord and ask them that very exact question. Thus, once I finish the first half, I will turn my mistakes into an experience and push through the drawing plan 73.

    Drawing plan 72: Additional Time. Idea Generation. Keywords.

    Hi, friends, for the drawing plan 72, I was thinking of taking one of the weekends off for my daily blogging. Also, it is an additional day to my already Tuesday and Friday hands-off blogging days. I want to do it because I feel like I’m not connecting well enough with the art community, so I need to change my strategy. Also, I want to make my blog more successful, but I can’t do that if I don’t know how to do that. Therefore, I need additional time, and I think you won’t mind if I take another day for the drawing plan 72, right?
