I personally can't. Used non-screen tablets before, but my hand-eye coordination is garbage, thanks to my dysgraphia. I have a difficult time with writing and drawing as-is with my disability, so the last thing I need is to throw an extra hurdle into the mix when I frequently misspell my own name.
It's a goo-dra-ing!
Like... "good drawing." But with emphasis on... goo... dra...
It involves six people who aren't even in the same room, but share a Discord server. They don't say much, other than "what the fuck" in an exhausted tone over and over again. They sometimes yell at a rubber duck. They decide the AI code is FUBAR and delete it all, rebuilding it all from scratch.
Ahh. I also had to add edge loops around the shoulders and the waist as well, which was certainly a far more troublesome process because of me mouse's more squat and cartoonish proportions. Had lots of overlapping edges, so I had to be careful and creative on how to fix them. I think I did well!
Alrighty, finished part 3 of this 10 part 3D modeling series.
I added more definition, elbows, knees, and a butt to my model. It may be a cartoon mouse, but the butt should serve more purpose in animation than for looks.
The next tidbit should be interesting. Looks like hands are up next.
But what about the shareholders and their profits?!
Elbow
Sounds like your type of guy. Have you considered marrying him?
They call him "Why" because everyone is constantly saying "Why the fuck do we keep this guy around?"

These comics were difficult for me to understand at first, that these characters weren't different people. Just different aspects of your psyche. They're sometimes charming, or frightening, relatable, or even alien.
But always informative, even if disturbing at times. I appreciate the Brain Bunnies
Maybe because one could be less specific about the color and grayscale can be a bit more... I dunno. Vibe-based?
Beats me. I just keep a color pallet on-hand whenever I color things, so it really didn't matter; especially when I start experimenting.
I remember working at a McDonald's years ago. It was next to an interstate. I was cleaning lobby at the time and looked up to catch an accident; a vehicle rolled and threw someone out of the windshield, to be crushed. I had just watched someone die that day, but my manager told me to keep working.
...OH, IT SAYS "GIRLFRIEND."
Sorry, I only glanced at this the other day and thought it said "Garfield." Thought you were referring to the incredible blob that is Tyranitank.
Nice
This process overall should be longer and more complicated. Last time, I just made a model with no consideration of mesh placement for animation. It was just a 3D doll and that was it.
So, we'll see what tomorrow brings. I already made more progress than I thought I would, so let's keep it up.
AAAND... here's where the current tutorial I am following ends for the time being. That was video 2 out of a 10 part series (I think), but I'm feeling pretty good about my current progress. There's certainly a lot more to consider than the last time I did this. But for this, this is a good start.

Yes, I am currently modeling him to be nude. It's so I can create costumes for him later. It's easier to make those different clothes if you have a nude model, instead of trying to change an already clothed model.
But this is not going to be made with any lewdness in mind, so don't get any ideas.
Fun fact: My mouse may look cute and young, but he's the same age as me, which is 37. He's middle aged. His hoodie hides most of build under baggy, comfy clothing, but he does in fact have a pot belly going on due to the slowing metabolism of getting older. Just like his creator.
Heck, I'm even making some deliberate mistakes and going off-script of the tutorial I'm following, just to see if this is a time saver, if I'm learning certain commands right, and even learning how to fix certain mistakes if my undo history cannot go back far enough to correct something.
Learning.
But it's fine to make mistakes; that's just part of learning. I'm sure I'll make mistakes here, too. But y'know what I'll be able to do next time? Get to the step I'm currently at in a quicker time frame, with less mistakes than I already made.
A thing I did do wrong last time is I got overly ambitious, tried making it high-poly. Thought it would mean better quality; didn't quite translate as well. Made it harder to fix mistakes. Going lower poly this time, but smoothing techniques should help mask this and make it look fine by the end.
Progress is slow: Very slow. I've always been very slow. It's the reason why I had to abandon the field of art to begin with; my set of disabilities wouldn't allow me to compete.
But this ain't a job, it's a thing for myself. So slow progress is progress all the same. I'll get there, bit by bit.
Ho boy... this 3D modeling work is kicking my ass a lot more than last time. Before, I did it in a few hours, first time. Here? Different story.
Reason probably being that this model is going to be animated in some way, while the last one was just a stiff 3D doll. More to consider this time around.
