| Proportions and ratios when drawing a face are extremely important - it's the way we tell one person from another in real life. I almost always start off with the Loomis method when sketching a human character for the first time, but I like to experiment a lot with shapes - I find you can use just a... |

| I just wanted to say I really appreciate the candor and honesty in these post-mortem articles you write. Not too many game developers, indie or otherwise, go into the financial numbers and profit margins as detailed as you do. It really helps temper expectations for new indie developers, humanizes y... |

| This or maybe they've put invalid licenses in order for you to seek an upgrade ? Yeah, I know... It can't be secure boot related since.. well.. you can boot on your system (you need a UEFI capable motherboard anyway for this.. "feature"). Seems weird alright. It's most likely what LVUER s... |

| 1) the project is pretty much guaranteed to be completed? 2) you have enough materials (writing, art, etc.) to appeal to your intended audience/investors? Those. Generally you'll want to first announce just a few months before release, and then slowly and continually build excitement and interest. ... |

Usually it's better not to work with friends or family on personal projects because you'll likely get behavior exactly like this or similar. This. I know it seems like an amazing idea to people just starting out in a creat... |

| but assembling from scratch is kind of bothersome and not the cheapest or most mind-settling route these days. I kind of disagree with that - the cheapest part, not the most mind-settling one. Assembling a computer yourself saves you money if you're going high-end - my laptop would have cost about ... |

| It's not so weird to feel that way. I actually got that way after a similar string of problems like yours - I built a new system, and it worked fine for a month, then it died in the middle of the night, no explanation. I'd worked on and built computers for years, so, while worried, I was confident ... |

Not a full on panic attack, I know what those are like, but my head fills with thoughts of dread and I can't do anything and ... |

| Today, I was sitting in the hallways, waiting for the bus to arrive. This is not an altogether strange thing─though most choose to wait outside, I prefer to sit down. Since I've recently gotten a tablet as a gift, I like to browse the internet or read books while I wait. As I was doing so, someone ... |

Nothing for about a minute, says the problem is the router, and then I can reconnect. I wouldn't be so annoyed if... |

This is my absolute favorite commission thread I've seen go up, looks like you're doing everything right. I would include more of your artwork up top though.
I'm my own artist, so I just wanted to tell you good luck. |

You said she has a serial number - why not put that on her outfit? Why not emphasis her job more, with the some of the... |
