I'm inclined to give shows a break on that front, the writer's strike had a huge impact on productions for just about everything.

Dang…

Ive finally got into drawing in tablets, got a Procreate to play on my old iPad, it seemed fine, but then I noticed my old generation iPad didnt support any pen. And obviously newer iPads are too expensive to invest when Im still only prospecting tools. Aside that Apple pen are goodamn expensive.

I also have a newer tablet, but Galaxy Tab. I did buy a pen for it and downloaded Sketchbook to draw (because Procreate is Apple exclusive, damn).

Then later on I noticed that Sketchbook was discontinued by its developer. It was a shame because it seemed a pretty good tool.

But my current problem is that there are few limitations when drawing: seems slightly laggy the pen sketch and the tablet response. And in some points, feels like it behaves kinda weird: like when I need lines to intersect, the draw wont happen. Idk if this is intentional safeguard but it just makes me uneasy knowing my draw wont behave the same all the time.

Worst is that Idk if the problem is my (cheap) pen, my Galaxy tab or the Sketchbook. I just made some sketches on my iPad (with my finger), and the experience is better.

Idk, I need to figure how to proceed this week, if I insist with Sketchbook, if I insist with Galaxy Tab, if I invest in a newer iPad, or maybe an actual professional drawing tablet (probably not, I wont invest on it until I feel like professionally drawing).

Some random lore dump, it wasnt really my first time trying to draw with tablet.

When I just got hired for my first job, I used my first salary to buy the best drawing tablet available. It was extremelly expensive and the ***was a damn monster. But then I started playing FF11 and stopped drawing.

That expensive tablet I gave to my older sister, so she could resell and use the money.

Couple years later, I invested again in a drawing tablet, but not the best of the best, but a professional one still. Again while playing FFXI, I wasnt ready to draw again, and gave the tablet to my younger sister, that also likes to draw.

But now I feel really into drawing right now. And as Im not active in FFXI, maybe this time I can finally do what I wanted over a decade ago

Thursday morning: “I cant open anything because my c drive is full”
My answer: “you need to delete files or move them to network storage at [location]. If necessary, you can buy an external drive [provide link of example]”


Today: “I cant open files again, my C drive is out of space”
Are they expecting a different answer from 2 business days ago???? Like what do they want me to do? Hold their hand and go over the files on their system for them to decide if their keep or delete??

interesting. you can give up to 19,000 dollars to your friends and coworkers as a gift. If you give any more than that, they will have to pay increased taxes when they file for that year.

You've got that backwards. Gift tax is paid by the giver, and they have to file a special gift tax return for it.

Above a certain amount, a gift will be taxable income to the person receiving it.

So, i tested my Galaxy tab, and indeed, it is inferior to my iPad in terms of screen sensitivity, despite being a newer equipment.

The good thing is that I tested my pen on this iPad and it worked.

So I will just use iPad/Procreate for my drawing.

Im quite happy, now I need to study it a bit.

Sketchbook had animation feature, I do hope Precreate has it too.

Gonna need sauce on this, because it directly contradicts the IRS:

IRS Publication 559 said:
Property received as a gift, bequest, or inheritance isn't included in your income. However, if property you receive in this manner later produces income, such as interest, dividends, or rents, that income is taxable to you.

IRS Publication 709 said:
The donor is responsible for paying the gift tax. However, if the donor does not pay the tax, the person receiving the gift may have to pay the tax.

annual tax-free allowance of up to £3,000 per person.

Quote:
It’s also important to remember that even if your gift is exempt from inheritance tax, any income or gains arising from it could have other tax implications for your children, for example, capital gains tax.

There is a potential additional tax if gifting to your own children.
