      Mister Stan I have a question ,I have been watching your posts for over a year, and in one of them you guys mentioned the name of a Greek fellow artist that the US department of education, had him draft a drawing manual .. I can't remember which video that was in ..🙏 can you remember his name, I'm pretty sure it was you that threw the name in to the conversation. I lost my laptop in which I had the specific info and I don't know why but that type of scribbling I like

    • @Carl_Wheezy
      @Carl_Wheezy Před 2 lety +2

      i think its kind of like the posterize effect in Photoshop where it reduces the values down to light, dark mid-tone and with the lines you use thin lines (sometimes even no lines) for where there is more light on an object and thicker lines for heavier shadows. Also you can graduate the line width with pen pressure or using brush pen and drawing at different speeds. Would be very good to see in a video though

    • @floatingdisembodiedhead8975
      @floatingdisembodiedhead8975 Před 6 dny

      There's a little backstory why some people called him that. "David" is his middle name or maybe it was Bruce. Stanley always had trouble remembering names, hence why most of his creations has alliterative names to make it easy, like Peter Parker or Reed Richards. Although evidently he still has trouble with it. One day he forgot Bruce's name and just called him David Banner in the comics. So when a reader asked him about this he said that his full name is Bruce David Banner, hence why it stuck for people who were from the older generations.
