On PC I use and love Clip Studio Paint. It's decently priced for what you get and often on sale (tho admittedly they've changed the pricing system recently which is a bit whacky, so I still use my old Version 1). However, many people use Krita nowadays, it's extremely good software, open source and completely free! On iPad I think the way to go is Procreate for rasterised images, and Affinity Designer is pretty good for vector art stuff

Personally I'm a bit out of the loop when it comes to drawing tablets, but I still use my ol' trusty Wacom Intuous Pro M. I basically learned drawing with a screenless tablet, so that's still what I'm most comfortable using - especially since I use a lot of keyboard shortcuts. I do also have an iPad and it's definitely nice to draw on it, plus you can easily take it with you. Only downside is, if the rest of your periphery isn't Apple, it's a bit cumbersome to transfer files to say a computer or something (and of course the hefty price).

As for screen tablets, last I heard the Cintique were great, but a bit pricy. Couple years ago other brands like XP-PEN and Huion were already catching up and getting good reviews, so maybe look into them if you're looking for something a bit cheaper, they might be even better by now.

awesome! Just found that the Zoropsis spinimana seem to have increased in numbers a lot here recently, and as I understand it they are some type of wolf spiders? So I think it might be one of those. Really cool to know, thanks!

Oh! I thought it might be eggs on the back that make it look so bumpy

and I just looked up wolf spiders, turns out their numbers have recently increased around here, so it might very well be one! Just thought the legs seemed a little too thin compared to the images I saw online

Found this big chonker in the garden, about 4-5cm big, never seen anything like it here before. Any ideas what it could be? : ) Thanks in advance!

Griaß eich! Wie der Titel schon sagt bin ich auf der Suche nach Kochbüchern oder Ähnlichem mit einfachen Rezepten, die ein jeder Depp machen kann. Ich bin eine Katastrophe was das Kochen angeht, würd das aber echt gerne mal ein wenig lernen. Ob vegan oder nicht ist egal, super wären aber nicht so fettige Gerichte. Also wenn ihr irgendwelche Geheimtipps habt, bitte her damit! Danke und noch ein schönes Restwochenend~

I linked the pattern I got from etsy in the post, you just need some yarn and patience :D

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

I just followed the pattern I got on etsy! But I agree, also love that design!

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

It is a bit tedious, since you need quite a few of those patches, but to me it was a fun thing to do to relax! Took me about 4 weekends on and off working on it : )

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

Hahaha thank you so much!

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 3 points 6 months ago

Thank you! Love the pattern as well! Took me some attempts to decide on the colors, but I think they harmonize really well now : )

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 2 points 6 months ago

Well technically ... I did start a different one before that, but then quickly switched to this one because it's better suitable for summer 😅

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 4 points 6 months ago

It is! I'm glad I could find some really soft yarn for this ^-^

[-] mourningcrows@mander.xyz 5 points 6 months ago

Thank you! The flashy colors distract really well from all the botch hahah

Took me some time and struggled with choosing the right colors at first, but I'm super happy with how it turned out!

I used this pattern from etsy!
