not sure what you mean, but I find that Dells are also cheap (second hand) easy to find, reliable, solid and easy to maintain (like the hardware is easy to access for cleaning and replacing/updating).

edit : I'm using a latitude 5470 with lubuntu. I bought it second in a pawn shop a few years ago and added some RAM last year, it still runs like a charm.

for a lot of people (me included), a cheap second hand thinkpad (or dell pro) with a light distro would be more than enough to cover their computing needs for years.

the archerfish can accurately spit jets of water to hunt inscects ... I'm sure there are much more examples of other species accurately throwing things around. we're not that special ...

thanks for the clarification ! that clear it up :) I'm pretty sure I've seen it advertised several times, but I can't find the actual claim anymore .... I hope I haven't made this up somehow, otherwise I apologize for the misinformation :/ (I'll keep looking).

Hi all, not sure this is the right place to ask... mods, feel free to do what has to be done if not.

I'm interested is "stone paper" a kind of paper made out of calcium carbonate (from limestone or construction waste) and HDPE (High-density polypropylene).

It's been advertised as a more eological solution for producing paper as it doesn't requires to cut down trees and uses much less water and chemicals in the process, compared to traditional paper.

My concern in about HDPE (that represent more or less 20℅ of the final product). Most companies advertise it as a "non-toxic biodegradable" plastic. But I can not find any reliable information to back this up.

I'm then inclined to think it is just green-washing.

but still I'm wondering if anyone could bring some insight about HDPE being biodegrade ...

thanks !

A deep pen with a good nib makes nice clean lines. It's a terrible "scan" of the actual drawing. I did it with my terrible phone and cleaned it up a bit with curves and sharpening filter. that might be that as well x) haha

I did not finish drawabox nor did I exactly follow the exercises, but I certainly got better line work and spacial vision through the drills !

thanks ! this is india ink on paper (not digital) with a first construction step with graphite (that has been erased).

if you're intrested. I'm currently studying this. and draw a box has been really helpful to me as well.
