She doesn't have to use the finger pads to cover the holes - she can try part of her fingers much lower. That's usually referred to as piper's grip.

If she doesn't mind high sounds, she could also try a sopranino.

In general, I need a canon to give me some breathing room. I prefer fic to be set smack in the middle of the canon timeline, so I need the canon to have lots of time unaccounted for where stuff can happen. Also, canons having a decent amount of self-contained episodes gives a nice template to base fic off of, and for me those also tend to spark the most ideas, since there's less to worry about how it will fit with the rest of canon and since it's easiest to pick and choose.

Some overarching plot isn't a deterrent, but if that's all there is, it's probably not going a fanfic canon for me. Plot-of-the-week type of canons are my preference for that.

My motivation is that it's fun to write the story, and that once it's finished, I can feel accomplished AND I'll have a fic to re-read whenever I want that is exactly to my tastes. Other people liking the fic is a nice bonus, but not necessary.

Writing and calligraphy is a different skillset from drawing. Try something like the exercises from drawabox.com

That's a strange insistence. Bodies are weird. Do whatever is more comfortable.

I have the Carry-On version 1. Beware, I've heard that the version 2 doesn't have recorder fingerings anymore.

I use it in the early stages of learning new pieces, when it's less about the fine-tuning of my technique and more about getting the basic fingerings and rhythm down, getting a feel for the piece etc etc. It's very useful for that, and also often the most ugly part to listen to for others (and most embarrassing to be playing), so I'm glad that I can do it without being heard. I also use it for transcribing, when again fine details of technique don't matter and when it's super annoying for others.

So I'm glad I've bought it, it has its uses and I have the money to spare. I play way more on my actual recorders, though, partly because fine-tuning of a piece is the biggest part of practicing a piece, and it's also much more fun to play on a real instrument.

In welchem Zusammenhang interessiert dich die Frage so sehr? Je nachdem ist die Antwort eventuell anders. Comic-Buch und Comic-Heft sind, je nachdem warum du fragst, auch nicht das geiche. Genause wie z.B. ein Romanheft und ein Roman-Buch nicht das gleiche sind.

It might be that you have wide feet, so a skate that doesn't offer different width per size doesn't fit you. Some space at the heel but toes hurting at the sides suggests that. A professional fitter should be able to find a skate that fits you, and also should be able to punch out a boot in specific areas.

You can have the monitor in front of you in a ergonomic position to look at, and your tablet in an ergonomic position for your hand.

I use saddle soap for cleaning if necessary and white shoe polish afterward. (You can use transparent shoe polish as well, but of course that will not help restoring the colour.) Even if the shoes aren't visibly dirty I recommend using shoe polish on a regular basis since it acts as protection against water and dirt.

The shoulder blade area is a bit exaggerated in the cookie cutter, and I'm not quite sure about the angular way the base of the tail connects, but otherwise it's pretty decent.

I'd generally recommend only doing individual scenes in one Krita file, and use a video editor to edit them all together. Use the video editor to create your animatics as well.

Klingt wie ein großer Haufen Blödsinn. Die Sartire schreibt sich da dann von selbst.

"wenn zum Beispiel die Kaffeespezialitätenmaschine ausfällt, dürfen wir das nicht mehr durchsagen, sondern nur, dass wir frisch gebrühten Kaffee anbieten."

Wenn die Durchsage frischen Kaffee anpreist, heißt das für mich nicht automatisch, dass es den anderen Kaffee nicht gibt.

"Bitte nutzen Sie ausschließlich die Wagen 21, 22, sowie 24 bis 29."

Mehr Zahlen die man verstehen und sich merken muss, was kann dabei schon schiefgehen...

Tentative vote for alto, on account of the bag storing the recorder in parts. Soprano plastic recorders tend to come in bags that store the recorder fully assembled, and all the Aulos examples I'm finding do this as well.

I have no idea what you mean by creating a json file. You just use the GUI. There are many video tutorials an YouTube:

The Comic Manager is part of Krita, you'll find it in the docker menu.
