    Copying is fine. Of course, if you're learning art with the intent of applying it, you should copy the stuff in the books to learn them. But the text is equally important, cause it breaks down the picture and helps you understand what's happening in it faster than you'd learn by trying to understand the stuff yourself.

    Great video and I love that the intent of the game shines through, and you've given me an idea for another variation. In-world there are different rules in different regions, taverns, and groups. People add their own twists or house rules. Technically one does not win by having the face cards on the field of battle (table) but I kind of like that variation and will be adding it to the rules.

    From Reddit it is extremely expensive for the content you are getting, i do not recommend it at all. it's extremely thin in terms of the density of information you're getting. there's also complaints about the book pushing debunked racist beliefs about how different characterstics in humans emerged and i would agree with the complaints as an example, the section on eyes posits that asians speak "indirectly" because they have epicanthic folds so there's less of the eyeball to make eye contact with, therefore they are shy and less direct in speech. "westerners" (the author means white people) speak directly and are less shy because they don't have epicanthic folds. basically pushing the meek asian stereotype... because of eye folds. the author also uses stereotypical depictions of black people when he is talking about what happens if our features were exaggerated. the author also has really bizarre views of the human form and how it was developed to become "feminine" (this is me paraphrasing). basically, if you've ever seen bad anime/manga of female depiction, the author tries to defend the exaggeration and ridiculous proportions. the content of the actual muscles and bones is not bad and i like the way he organized it, but it's not worth $80 since he provides very little information (it's literally a sentence worth PER MUSCLE GROUP, not even per muscle). to be honest, i highly doubt he's the only one who's organized his anatomy book based on functional purpose vs location on the body. the book in itself is also LITTERED WITH TYPOS AND ERRORS! they are EVERYWHERE, some sentences don't make sense because of the typos. some parts of the diagrams are labeled incorrectly. KEEP IN MIND THAT FOR $80 YOU CANNOT RETURN IT PER THE PUBLISHER'S POLICY. it's just really not worth it. i got the book and i honestly feel like it was one of my biggest cash sinks ever.

    Does this tablet+ stand still cause neck pain after extended use? Screen tablets were causing me neck pain, I tried fixing my posture but I could never really zone in when I’m drawing because I constantly had to focus on keeping my back straight. I tested the 24inch tablet at a local Best Buy and it’s huge but I’m still unsure if ill get wrist pain from having it propped up too high or neck pain if I angle it too low lol lmk how you’ve been feeling about the tablet so far fam.

    • @diligentvisual2086

      I would think that this is more about the stand than the tablet. The stand I reference in the video is amazing! Because you can position it with ease. This can help alleviate staying in the same posture for too long. Hope that helps.
