Im so glad you guys are here, god dammit. My job is just small time stuff but I love it! It brings me to new clients and I also am forced to design everyday. I've had a few year of being rusty but last year an opportunity and I was so damn rusty. I learned so much here through CNC and the community. Im definitely going to start posting here again. I've explained many times how I started designing making "small picture designs" on a sub forum of a game called Diablo lol.


I'm so jealous. I wish I could do art for a living. Haven't had the opportunity, but I'm hopeful!

I thought the same thing for a long time, now i see my error tenfold. They open up Photoshop to so much more than a mouse could ever do.

Ask these oldfags how long they have been barking at me to get a tablet


I do have a tablet myself, but i lost the pen ... and i find myself missing the ability to draw something relatively often, so i do get it ;) BUT one does not need (emphasize on the need) a tablet to be able to do the design work, a lot of people i work with don't use them, but they do recognize the uses for one :) drawing anything with mouse just absolutely sucks, but i do use the mouse for most of the stuff i do, tablet is quite niche tool for me atlast.

You're sweet, nice try xD

I already am doing it. I'm just being hit by that keto flu thing right now and it sucks. I was really just trying to see if anyone here followed that diet and knew of any good fake bread recipes (or dessert stuff) to make me feel better through this shit. I've tried making biscuits and cloud bread so far and they were both disgusting. And I don't cook things that are disgusting, so it seriously has to be these recipes.

well of course you dont Need one. Not arguing that point. i haven't needed one for the 10 years i've been in graphic design. But I look back and see all the potential benefit of one and it makes me want to cry lol.

I can't help you there. I think the last time I was talking about my daily diet you refereed to them as "Cami snacks"

just the rule of thumb, if you are craving sweet - go for fruit. I don't have a huge sweet tooth, but when I do I stick with good ol apples.

When I got myself a tablet not too long ago, I found myself using it more in daily application than design software. It is however, as I see it, a must-have tool if your jobs vary greatly. Being able to draw freehand is part of any job I take even though I do paper and pen sketches a lot, also.

Surely, you can do most of tasks without it but for me, it is not really niche. I wish I had more time to practice drawing with it, though. Perhaps sometime later.

I have been doing logo and website design mostly after getting the tablet, paper sketching is an absolute must for me though. I actually thought i could sketch with tablet better, but for some reason i could never get the volume of sketches i want :huh:
I believe it's more of a personal thing though, me not liking working with tablet. I find the .. unprecise nature of freehand drawing interrupting my workflow more often than helping it, thus only relying on a tablet when i absolutely need something drawn freehand ^^ i might be total garbage with it too ;)

EDIT: my point being; i never got to point of completely relaxed drawing/working with tablet before i lost the pen during moving out of my last apt. And while i do miss it occasionally, i don't find myself needing it enough to call my ex to get my pen back. :rolleyes:

Well you're still young, you should be harnessing all the technology that you can :c

Lol I don't remember that..what were the snacks? Avoiding fruit as well, sugar and carbs you know. I need to get some oranges, they're not too bad. I can't stand apples though, unless they're in some kind of pie

It feels like everything -.-

Breads, rice, pasta, cereals, sugary stuff, but I think the thing that's hitting me hardest is not being able to have potatoes. I love my homemade mashed potatoes and my roasted potatoes ;-;

frozen pineapple with mango and crushed ice (or just water) in a blender taste fucking good
you can add some spinach or kale (it turn everything green but you dont taste any difference) for extra fiber and vitamins

I dont know if your working out or anything but if you want you can throw a scoop of protein too or pretty much anything lol

Mango and pineapple are pretty high up there on the bad fruit list lol. I just need some sort of baked good that doesn't taste like dirt.

I'm definitely getting a ton of protein and fiber already. Basically been living on meat and veggies. I'm surprised my body isn't going insane tbh, after all these years of eating junk. I don't want to bulk up or anything weird like that haha, strictly for losing weight.
