I noticed a lot of companies (Coates for example) make their charcoal out of willow and I always liked those companies because they're really smooth and dark. A couple of weeks ago the willow tree in my back yard lost a branch so I broke it up into pencil-sized pieces and used TKOR'S paint can method for making charcoal. It was super easy and once everything cooled down I wrapped my favorite ones in painters tape and put the rest in a box! Here's a pic of the ones I used to draw that. I think the different shapes they came out in gave me a cool variety of different tools but I should have straightened some of them out when I was drying the branch.

I was surprised to see people don't do it more here. Lemmy has such a knowledgeable and supportive community and it's such a good place to go for honest constructive feedback

Thank you! I think this piece took me like four hours. And definitely give it a go! I forgot how much fun it is to work with

I'm looking forward to practicing with this medium more, I used to love it but I haven't done anything with it in years.

Let's also not forget Lateral, which he said he'll still be doing and is quickly becoming my favorite podcast!

Holy crap you're right. I like it better in both of those orientations. Art is crazy because you can spend hours every day painting something before someone makes you realize you've been holding it upside down the whole time

That image got really dark when I uploaded it, here's a screenshot of it for better colors

"In December 2018, The Tampa Bay Times reported that the guitarist had called relatives speaking about extraterrestrials arriving and "the rapture," before his house burned down. As the headline states, the investigators found 80 firearms (50 of which were shotguns), weapon parts, and the three skulls. O'Brien had broken into a neighbor's home with a knife, where he was later tased by an officer. His house caught fire shortly after, and explosions caused by ammunition made it difficult for firefighters to put out the fire."

He had, indeed, committed a crime. Not a gun (or presumably skull) related crime, but a crime nonetheless.
