Word of the Day: Ad Hominem

 This week's word of the day sketch is ad hominem.


Annoyingly, brushes don't seem to scale when zooming in and out of documents in Krita. Is it an old Wacom tablet thing, a Linux thing, or just a thing, I wonder?

Word of the Day: Effusive

2020 was supposed to be the year I attempted Inktober, or something similar. But October came and went, and I completely forget about it. "Next year," I told myself, as I did the year before, and the year before that. But why wait? Getting word prompts is easy. Online dictionaries readily offer them up. Merriam-Webster even has permalinks to theirs.

One drawing a day seems a bit onerous. One per week seems more reasonable, so I came up with the following "rules":

  • Read the definition of the Saturday Word of the Day on Merriam-Webster.com. Draw it and post it here before the next Saturday.
  • Is Saturday's Word of the Day just utterly uninspiring? Choose a different word of the day from the previous week. But use Saturday's if at all possible.
  • If you miss a week, get back on the proverbial horse.

I expect it'll be a bunch of quick sketches at first. I may put more effort into it once I get comfortable drawing on my very old Wacom tablet (the one I was using to draw Home Run) in Krita.

With that, the inaugural Word of the Day sketch is effusive.
