Don't use VPN services.

Don't use VPN services.

No, seriously, don't. You're probably reading this because you've asked what VPN service to use, and this is the answer.

Note: The content in this post does not apply to using VPN for their intended purpose; that is, as a virtual private (internal) network. It only applies to using it as a glorified proxy, which is what every third-party "VPN provider" does.

  • There's also this article about VPN services, which is honestly better written (and has more cat pictures!) than my article.

Learning to draw

Tips about drawing digitally

I asked on https://www.facebook.com/groups/1014974001864957/permalink/1252338398128515/ and these were the main points:

  • Set the tablet settings, on the driver and on the software used for drawing. For example, pressure sensitivity.
  • Check the projection: what screen you're using to project the table and ensure the "constrain proportions" setting is checked.
  • Consider line stabilizing software like Lazy Nezumi Pro (only Windows so far). Sketchbook Pro has this sort of line as well.
  • Use Mischief rather than Photoshop for line drawing. It's simpler and produces more natural line drawing, which can be later exported for rendering in Photoshop.
  • Get comfortable with using undo constantly.
  • Use hard felt nibs for the tablet, the have increased friction and feel more like a pen on paper.
