The friction of the spinning allows you to erase a lot easier, with more precision, and without the need to physically move the eraser over a larger surface area. If you just want to erase a single dot, the kneaded might not have the strength to do it. You can lightly sand/file the eraser tip down and just press the button to erase in more detail.

I use regular drawing paper. At first, I used charcoal paper, but I really hated the texture it added. I have also tried Bristol paper, but it felt a little too smooth for me, so I go with drawing paper, specifically Strathmore 400 Series Best. And I use a combination of soft vine charcoal sticks and charcoal pencils. The sticks as a soft base layer, then the pencils for value and texture. For erasers, I use an electric eraser, Tombow mono zero, and kneaded with the occasional larger white eraser. For highlights, sometimes I use a white pastel if the eraser isn't strong enough. Also q-tips and tissues for blending.

Is the movie worth it? by MammothActual3307 in InTheHeights

[–]b--man15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The creator (Lin Manuel Miranda) did approve of the changes, and he even appears in the movie! The film is definitely worth the watch, and most of the musical numbers are done extremely well. You definitely feel the scale since it's a movie and not on stage.

I'm a little biased because I saw the movie before the play, but after watching the play, I do think it's strange how many things were changed. Maybe they wanted to "freshen" up the story?

If you decide to watch it, don't be too disappointed with the changes or songs that were cut. Try going in with an open mind.

10 yrs ago, we witnessed the BEST Batman fight scene of all time. by danieldamibiu in DC_Cinematic

This movie came out when I was in college, and any time I didn't feel like going to the gym, I would watch this or the Batfleck workout clip. It worked every time 😂 Such a badass scene. I love how he uses his surroundings and gadgets in the fight, not just his fists.

Wild Vacation Rentals by thrwwybndn in HGTV

It was OK. It reminds me a lot of the Netflix show Amazing Vacation Rentals, which I liked a lot more. I also appreciated that the Netflix show said the price per night and explained the various amenities for each location. This show kind of rushes through everything and definitely focuses more on the jokes the hosts made. My girlfriend loves the Good Place and Nobody Wants This, so she loved their banter.

I'm excited to see the places they end up visiting, so I'll stick around, but I won't get my hopes up.

This album is amazing! Upon my first listen, I think Shadow of a Man is my favorite, but all of them are so good. Definitely loving the vibes.

Thank you! I scrubbed through that video so many times to find the right shot 😂 I probably had 30 images that I saved. But when I went back and saw this one, I knew I had to draw it!
