It does stick with epoxy but mixing it's a pain and it tends to bleed through the page and stick the calendar pages together. Any suggestions? ...

nashona posted:Look at this cat's huge balls I was telling a friend about how weird it was that cat stuff from Ali seems to often include a cat’s testicles. Then, because I get lots of resin molds from Aliexpress AND I look at miniature offerings of everyday objects because I think they are hilarious, Aliexpress showed me this: US $64.50 57％ Off | 1/6doll- Sphinx cat Joint Doll Free Eyes https://a.aliexpress.com/_mOZvi8P  She was pretty creeped out by it. Edit: damnit. Beaten. I just remembered how funny I thought it was, when I studied abroad in japan 20 years ago, that hamtaro merch include a little cartoon anus. It was just an “x” iirc. But still weird as hell from my perspective. Bored fucked around with this message at 00:04 on Aug 27, 2021 |

I have one without the little plastic dome thing. It works, but it probably won't say, write exactly where you expect it to, since it's basically emulating a finger. Perfectly good enough for jotting down a note on a kindle or something. The real issue is that unless you're using an ipad or one of those samsung tablets or something with palm rejection, you have to be careful to keep your skin (or some headphone cables) off the screen, or you'll find yourself suddenly zooming out or whatever.

Yeah, or a sleeve'll work more or less. Still something of a drawback, unless you've got a drawer full of 2/5th gloves.

I already had some of the old fashioned ones with the big fat nubs. 10pc for 3€, https://www.aliexpress.com/item/4000151947641.html. But I slowly gave out all of them to get the family boomers slowly used to touchscreens. I wanted to know if the "active" ones do anything better. Especially if they are worth the 10x price. Ooohh, suggestions for wireless mice: Q: Is the scroll direction of the mouse USB connector and Bluetooth connection the same? A: No, they are different. When using the USB connector, the scroll wheel slides in the same direction as the computer mouse. Bluetooth connection is the opposite.

nashona posted:The listing implies "Palm rejection function" aka funky glove Those don’t work for Palm rejection. They are to keep you from greasing up your tablet or paper with the heel of your hand when drawing and writing. The lady that started marketing those commercially originally made them for her left handed daughter since her daughter was getting frustrated with how smeary her notes were getting in middle school. I do recommend those gloves over making your own due to the comfort of the fabric on the parts of your hand they touch while drawing. In my experience, Palm rejection doesn’t work very well with styli made to pair with expensive tablets that you can use gestures on. Maybe it’s gotten better since an iOS update killed my cpu.

My friend has an iPad Pro with the Apple Pencil and it seems to work great, haven't tried it that much myself but I imagine it works better than any weird Ali product. There's also a Wacom pen that I have no idea about how good it is or not.

I have a last-generation iPad Pro and Pencil 2 and it’s great. I do a lot of note-taking and some diagramming on it for work and play, but am not An Artist. I should find an Ali source of stylus pen tips though.

My friend does tattoos and it's a godsend for that, you can take a pic of someone's arm or whatever, make an overlay of the design to see if it looks good in the position it's supposed to go, then you can print if out to make a perfect looking stencil when it's time to do the actual tattoo. I think a lot of pro tattoo artists use them nowadays.

ipad + apple pencil revolutionized my ability to practice and learn art skills, and while I couldn't replace traditional art with it entirely, it's truly something that any artist should have around if it's affordable, it's that much of a game changerSubjunctive posted:I should find an Ali source of stylus pen tips though. I hate to recommend amazon but you can just get a pack of offbrand silicon stylus nibs for a tiny, tiny fraction of the price that Apple charges and they're the same exact thing. I bought these: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B089Y2W56J/ 20 cents each, compared to the $3.75 each that Apple charges, and each one lasts me longer than an officially branded Apple one edit: Lol I bought this pack in January and I am still using the very first nib I pulled out of it. Comparatively I went through 4 apple branded nibs in 2 months, and during that 2 months with the apple branded ones they fell apart and scratched up my screen pretty bad due to wear and tear - this off-brand one has never done that deep dish peat moss fucked around with this message at 18:18 on Aug 31, 2021 |
