AKIRA MOCKINGBIRD

After lying around untouched for over 20 years, I finally tried out my ancient set of colored pencils. And now I’m wondering why I didn’t use them for so long - I love drawing with these!

Ball's on BTU bearings for no stiction, sensor's a PMW3389, and going with an analog axis for the scroll wheel which works surprisingly well after tuning a pressure curve.

You know, I'm not too fond of Kensington's "slab-like" form factor for their trackballs, but their scroll rings do be kinda cool don't they.

is it too much to ask

With the oranges painting you put as an example, I noticed they painted the lighter values more toward yellow - they also exaggerated the hues of the undertones of the photo, so I'm guessing they either did it in their head or bumped the saturation up to get a closer look! I really love these paintings you shared and I definitely share your desire to paint/draw like that :)

Here is friendly reminder for all paisas to not waste your money on Abuelita chocolate, which is owned by Nestle. Instead, consider buying Ibarra or other Mexican or Latine owned chocolates and cocoa powders for making your champurrados and chocolates calientes
