T'is the season for 'when will I draw my ghost hunting teens book'

Three teens gathered around a stairwell in an old, dark house. One boy with blonde hair and glasses sits at the top of the stairs on his phone with a bored, unimpressed expression. Another boy with shaved black hair holds a device producing a growling noise, his face is excited. At the bottom of the stairs stands a girl with her arms folded and a nervous look over her shoulder.

For reference, before the update I worked at -7 and it looked like this

Screenshot from procreate app. Words in a comic word balloon read ‘But, then, as a parent I should be used to cleaning up children’s messes by now.’

Did procreate’s new update take away to shrink the leading in type past 0? This is the smallest line spacing I can get?

I love taking a few supplies to a cafe and doing a thorough art session with friends - here's a spread from earlier this year, drawn by putting down flats first with crayola markers, and then layering neocolor ii crayons overtop.

A photo of a tabletop covered in markers, art crayons, and a sketchbook spread showing a drawing of a twisted tree, and another drawing of a large impossible castle in a pastoral landscape against the sea and a pink cloud-filled sky.

I saw the dot coms crash from a front row seat. AI is running out of money way faster.

An investment manager realized he made a crucial mistake — and that his grim prediction about AI investments may not have been cynical enough.
