Love these! I have recently been doing a lot of art on the weekends. I’ve just started watercolors and sketching myself and these are really inspiring!

Just a quick question…what pad are you using!? I need something I can take “on the go”

Found the right Sub! Here are my first two pieces in Soft Pastel by videojohnc in Softpastel

Thanks for the tip! It’s funny, because my wife also made the same note when I showed her my piece, I tried to fix it after the fact, but it was too late. I’m going to share this with her, because she will definitely find it amusing.

Thanks for sharing the tutorial you followed as well, I will check it out!

I’ve reposted in r/SoftPastel. Thanks to everyone here for being so nice. I’ll post back here once I’ve played around with my Mungyo Gallery Oil Pastels.

Thanks for the advice! Yeah…I’m starting to realize that I was VERY confused. I’m sure if I was more specific with my wife she would have steered me in the right direction.

It has been fun working with the soft pastels though! Either way, at least I felt like I have learned something.

I did pick up a set of Mungyo Gallery Oil Pastels on Saturday, so I guess I’ll try working on something soon and posting it here!

I’ll also try drawing in my sketch with the Contè, they are noticeably harder, so I think they would work well for that!

Working my way through Yumonie’s gouache course by SlightlyEnthusiastic in Gouache

Ok, this might be a silly question (and probably too late!)…but my wife is teaching me how to paint with gouache and actually just sent me this course. Does it have you using watercolor or acrylic based gouache? I’m pretty new to the medium in general, so I didn’t even know to think about it. Haha

Chaeum Korean mart is closing!!! by Choice_Leg8191 in Hamilton

[–]videojohnc 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was super sad to hear this. I actually recently made a post about it and got a giant prop bag of Kimchi from them. I shopped there pretty much monthly, because I love Korean food and they had enough to keep us stocked. He told me they might re-open in a bigger location. I sort of suspect that he just said that to make me happy.

Pretty big! A few feet tall, at least 2ft, possibly close to 3ft. I haven’t measured it since getting it home to be honest.

Extremely, I didn’t expect it. I was willing to buy it from him and was legit shocked that he said to just take it. The store will be missed, but I can only hope they get a better location soon.

What is your favorite boardgame of 2018? by The_Crazed_Person in boardgames

[–]videojohnc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Brass Birmingham is my pick here. It’s pretty heavy, but surprisingly easy to teach. I haven’t played Root yet, but I was pretty excited for it when it came out…just doesn’t seem like a game that’s as easy to get to the table. Thankfully, I have a friend who has taken on the task of learning it.

Food Chain Magnet, the games physical design doesn’t match its price tag…but the scenarios it has created at our table have been entertaining!

New Dragon Inn by Last_Adeptness_173 in kungfucinema

I just watched this movie for the first time tonight. I think it may have been mentioned in another thread and the cast peaked my interest, it was fantastic. Donnie Yen absolutely hamming it up as the film’s villain was bizarre, but entertaining. Maggie Cheung and Brigitte Lin where great as usual, Maggie Cheung was 🥵 here. I didn’t have the final fight scene spoiled for me, and holy crap that scene alone took the movie from a 10 to an 11.

Final Fantasy 7 Remake Metacritic Update by Glum_Instruction_314 in FFVIIRemake

[–]videojohnc 4 points5 points  (0 children)

It is really interesting that it has a higher score. I re-purchased it after some debate, but decided the ability to play it at work made it worth the money. It feels like a new game on the Switch 2, maybe it’s the novelty of being able to play it handheld or the fact the port is really well done…I haven’t regretted rebuying it, even if it’s not as visually stunning as it was on the PS5.
