Maybe I'm just insane but...

... I was making a panel for my comic and it was too big so I said aloud "Edit Undo, bitch". And then I realized how absurd that was. Anyone else do stuff like this, or is lunacy a party of one?

I've almost broke into tears saying things like, "Why don't you just work? Even for a few minutes. Please, just stop breaking" to a machine I was running in a factory this past summer.

Hah! That's nothing. I'l be drawing, and then I'll make a mistake. Not only will I yell "Edit Undo", I'll actually try to type Ctrl+Z.

It doesn't usually work.

When I draw, I act out my character's roles, means when I draw a sad guy, my face is sad etc.

I do this too, and people think I'm insane. Especially if I'm in a public place.

I'll also try to Ctrl+Z for everything, like spilling milk in the kitchen.

Sometimes I look for the undo button on a sketch pad.

Ah, method cartooning. Where you literally "become" your characters. Like method acting.

There are no mistakes, just happy accidents.

I generally just make growling noises at the paper. Sometimes I get so frustrated I break down crying. Of course, that's usually when I'm already having a lousy day and nothing else is going right either.

HAAAAaaaaaaa... *wipes away tears*

That's so cute of you to say. You are a delight Dutch!

But yeah. I talk to the computer on ocassion. I keep it low so no one will hear me, but I do it all the same. Usually something along the lines of "Oh no! You just DID NOT DO THAT BITCH!" or something like that.

And I do the McDuffies thing to. It helps if you say it out loud because you can then hear what it would sound like rather than just hearing it in your head. Once you've done that it's alot easier to make decent changes to expressions and dialouge.

I will often smile whenver I draw a smile. i will fron when I draw someone who's pissed off. I will raise an eyebrow when I draw shifty eyes. And I do it unconsiouly. Freaks me out sometimes.

It's like I'm getting into character, for my chatacter. I thought I was the only one who did this... And when I make mistakes I say to myself: "one more out of 32. Woo hoo...".

(although I have tried looking for the erase tool instead of my eraser. And I often talk to my computer. Usually along the lines of: "Why the fuck do you moe so fucking slow you dumb fucker!? It should nto take 45 seconds to erase a few fucking pixels!". )

Why yes, I do lack sufficient RAM.

Once I made a mistake on a drawing and spent five seconds trying to hit "Cntrl+z" on the table.

I felt very, very stupid.

The other day I made an inking mistake. I pressed undo on my laptop, and waited till it dawned on me why nothing happened.

I started doing that then decided I needed to learn to use real tools better. Virtual tools are great but they miss the point when you can't cope without them. They're supposed to make life easier, not harder.

I do all of the above.

I often read out the lines in the characters' voices. It helps me get line flow a little better as well as good voice acting practice.

Mostly when I shout things at a screen, it's when I'm playing a video game.

I was a happy accident.

I do the face thing. I even feel the emotion I'm drawing, if I'm really getting into it. I don't think I've ever said "edit, undo" or anything like that. Probably because I'm used to doing most of my work the old fashioned way.

Ditto.
