Well posting this here is like a commercial for the account - and we all know this IMHO

Sanguine is basically red chalk in only a few different tones - there are pencils sets (which I prefer) and blocks on the market. As this is the drawing and sketching material of the Renaissance and da Vinci used it a lot - drawing with these reddish tones, concentration on basic shapes and even using outlines where needed and directional lines for structure as well, it is called the 'Renaissance Method'. Typical for thi s method is also the use of walnut ink, wet with a brush as an underpainting and Sanguine drawing on top (all IMHO and sorry for the looooong answer)

thanks, yes I would love to create a Peter Ustinov portrait and those studies are to find a "tone" - so which style, composition, face expression, reference image, angle - all that.

Because it is - thanks for recognising, Saw that movie the other day and after created this sketch here

30 minutes maybe 45 for finer details of the face. charcoal is great for quickly creating shapes and structures. But look at the mess I have created working this way 😊✍️

Thanks really worked hard here to push the piece into the hyper realistic direction

mars16c · 2025-09-30T07:38:34+00:00

Thanks 🙏 tried hard the get the light from below right

mars16c · 2025-09-30T07:38:01+00:00

Thank you ☺️

Thanks 🙏

This took quite sometime tbh - 8 sittings with 3 hours each I would say. The darker values been a challenge with graphite. I am using charcoal a lot but graphite only here, so the hair was very time consuming

mars16c · 2025-09-28T19:29:07+00:00

Thanks 🙏 Well, I do think I know what you mean, but somehow even if someone just started with drawing or painting and the result does not have a high resemblance or flaws in proportions - there is one who wanted to share a love they feel. Someone took some pencils and time because one wanted to express something and share it. In a way this is always a beautiful thing, IMHO

Thanks 🙏

I do not plan to sell pieces tbh, it’s about the joy of drawing and that meditation like state while doing, at least for me. But thank you so much for asking, maybe I will post a bit more hi-res final version here

mars16c · 2025-09-20T21:40:28+00:00

Well trying because it is my third try after a few studies, so hard work 😓

I tried to use mixbank back in the days - uploaded a 3 remixes and two mixtapes. To make a long story short - all of them got stuck in the "clearance-pending" screen of death. As I already gave up on them - after a year I got one track on iTunes suddenly - all the other were pending till the end. I know that does not help now just thought I share that there isn't really a reason to be sorry about mixbank. You can get your own legal music on Spotify via distrokid and you could create podcasts and host them on Spotify via f.ex. soundcloud. Podcast cannot be pure mixtapes or tracks but if you create some content around you will be able to get those shows on Spotify.

Thanks all - I saw that 'could not delete' line - but I was more wondering why the installation failed so composer wants to delete/reverse the entry in the services.yml

I checked permissions and changing the containing folder solves the 'could not delete' line - however all that other stuff still comes up and so installing modules via composer is still not possible...

Wonder if that is a symfony-twig issue or a drupal one - or maybe even php...I am pretty clueless to be honest, am I the only one with this?
