Boy

It's very annoying, that the same Hebrew word can be used for 'boy' or 'servant'. (Same with 'girl'). Annoying, because when drawing a picture it's helpful to know roughly how old someone is. At least are they an adult or a child.

I suppose it's the same as in American slavery, where a slave would be called 'boy' no matter his age. Or, indeed, a stable lad, who can be a 'lad' till the day he retires.

Work in progress

Trying out some ideas for an illustration. I don't usually do shading on thumbnails, but it really does help. I should do that more.

Comic exhibition

Went to see this exhibition yesterday. Wasn't very familiar with his work, but I'd seen a TV program about him which particularly interested me as he's a fellow Glaswegian.

Not sure if it was inspiring or demoralising :-) I think inspiring.

Fascinating how small he draws. His inks looked like even a mapping pen would be too thick! So much detail. Particularly interesting since on the TV program he was pencilling on a Cintiq*, and zooming right in.

It showed all sorts of things from scripts with rough doodles and ideas through pencils to final inks and colours - and also some beautiful watercolour - again, tiny.

Calvary was meant for me

I wish Google were human

If I said to a human, "Wordpress is adding blank lines between paragraphs," they would know that I was not looking for information on how to add blank lines between paragraphs, but saying that Wordpress itself was adding them.

Nor was I saying that Wordpress was removing blank lines I had added, but saying that Wordpress was adding blank lines when I didn't want it to.

Also, if they listened carefully, they would also realise that I was not interested in paragraph spacing, but actual blank lines which it is adding.

Currently I have two blank lines between each paragraph, which looks really silly. I delete them, and they gradually appear again - and add more.

Grrrrrrrr >:-(

Edit: Just after writing this, I found the solution: https://gomakethings.com/remove-empty-paragraphs-added-by-wordpress/  

:-)

Edit 2: Very glad I found this. It has added 15 lines between each paragraph!

Apparently another name for a hash symbol is 'octothorpe'.

I think we should all start calling it that.
