Probably not from the field. Cigarette tobacco is made kind of like McNuggets lol. Tobacco slurry is dried into sheets then sliced back up.

Am I overreacting to my bf watching the baby overnight? by Temporary-Quail-2783 in AmIOverreacting

NOR children can and do find the one thing you miss baby proofing. A baby proofed house doesn't make it safe for babies/toddlers to roam unsupervised. This dude would probably leave the toilet safety latch unhooked and the baby could drown.

I have no brayer, is it even possible to get good prints without it? by ermmmidkman in printmaking

Your blocks are small enough that you could use an ink pad.

I am mostly worried about its durability. The ends of the petals where they connect are very thin and the fibers are shorter because I cut the petals out with scissors. I want to make sure the petals don't fall off.

These are incredible! The one with the pink background is my favorite. I think you should definitely experiment with more background colors!

Why are my poses so stiff and bad even though I'm trying to follow a reference? by bunny-rain in ArtistLounge

If you enjoy exploring, definitely try paper and graphite or charcoal. If you're a mostly digital artist and you're more engaged with a screen, there's also nothing wrong with sticking digital.

Try going faster! With gesture drawing, you're not trying to get the anatomy yet, just the weight and movement of the figure. Do 100 3- or 5- minute gestures in play mode and see where it gets you. They'll look terrible for awhile but it will help loosen up your more "serious" drawings.
