jim's first steps

Hi y'all
Awww boy, i really am most excited about the 0.99s update
The Warp function changes everything for me and will do me tons of good, i believe.
i thought it would be a good time to post my pre Warp attempts to document progress ... that i hope to make?
The things i tried to draw so far always came out with crooked proportions

(Again, sorry for huge, i have no idea how to thumbnail these? )



i could see all these errors in the relations and wished for a way to nudge things into place.
The frustration drove me to try to tackle isolated things rather than wholes which was kinda nice for a while but really more of an avoidance.





While i of course do see the value in being able to draw something properly without the aid of such features and do admire people capable of doing so, i now feel comfortable enough to approach more complex compositions again knowing there is a Warp to fall back on.
Thank you very much Taron for finding such an elegant solution for this.

While i am here some more early attempts

And some fun test i did last night
Two tesselated planes, instancing + Verve









This really was a blast and very quickly done, though i am not quite sure what to do with it yet

That is A LOT of cool stuff, Jim! Did you just post all of that or how on earth did I miss this much?!?
GREAT!
I love the eye studies and all of those. The 3d is quite cute, too!
AND YAY to Bruce Lee!!! Love it!

By now I think we've really created an art movement!
Just awesome stuff!

Thanks for the hint Borhani ill try to take better care of the file size.
On the other hand, i often rather wished that You would post Your paintings in uncompressed desktop background quality

Morning doodle while coffee and Youtube
Fun.

Just reading that "morning doodle while coffee and (anything)" fills me with a deep sense of appreciation, accomplishment...a hint of pride but a big, warm, fuzzy feeling of true joy!
You're really coming to a very strong style here, jim!

Gooood morning
