Aw man I was hoping that you would say that ha ha ha man after my own heart well maybe I should put these to useView attachment 4833638instead of just looking at them

I can now. Had the graphite set. Should try these plastic things I'm playing with. My weapon of choice is honestly a standard 2B by Faber Castell. The ones we used in school. I just drew in class. Aced or close all my tests and exams. Most teachers let me after a while. LOL.

I cast a few things in hot metals class in high school. And why aren't kids learning life skills and trades any longer? I carved a blank of a Bud Man from plaster. Came out nice. Teacher judged the work then. Not content.
