I loff your side-passes, Horse_Loverz. They make me giggle every time! :slight_smile:

EDIT: Forgot to mention I showed a printout of some of the stuff on this thread to Avery’s poor, beleaguered BM. She absolutely HOWLED laughing over the Mr. Microphone and Rallying the Troops ones!

I am honored you have included me with the rest. Really, as far as Stick Horsie Art goes, I am not even an amateur. I am a Wanna Be.

DGRH you are just a pre green stick artist and a valued inspiration and cheerleader. Has ted seen his portraits yet?

Use the underscore " _ " character as “spacers”.

Then use the editor to change the color of the underscore " _ " characters to white.

(I was afraid someone was going tosuggest I use more leg) :lol:

I was going to suggest that, but then I thought, “wait, that’s not the leg she means!!”:slight_smile: :lol:

OK, so here’s my first attempt.

For those who are confused, I posted an “anatomically correct” version of the Big Pink, then got EMBARRASSED (probably WAY TOO x-rated for this board :uhoh: and deleted it.

Taking a page from hopashore1’s book, here is how my lessons go:

It’s funny the impression we get online from various posters. I had the idea that you were very prim and proper (good things! :yes:), so it caught me off guard to see the post. You shocked me more than the Big Pink did. :lol:

I thought I was just losing my mind :lol:
Thanks for the explanation!

I’m pretty old, so do things the way I did when younger. That passes for pretty “prim and proper” these days!!! (I don’t know WHAT I was thinking (probably NOT MUCH :uhoh: ) to get so “anatomically correct”, but it DID embarrass me. So, gone into the ether…

                              DGRH is aghasted.

Thanks guys, especially horse_loverz - I needed the laughs!

Yet another freezer went down, the machine shop guy is complaining, “You think YOU have problems?” and my tech is out for the forseeable future because her daughter fell on Saturday and needed surgery to fix her leg - screws and plates, and she’s bedridden for now.

Ah, yes. Spring. Now I WISH it was winter because I’m stuck in lab forever now, anyway.

Me too!!! :lol: :lol: :lol:

[/QUOTE]Ha! :lol:

I had to look at this on a different computer to understand what you meant by that. :smiley:

DG is on a mac and it does looks fine on a mac. :yes:

Using a bunch of little characters like “--------------” as spacers can cause objects to shift position on different computers.

Using the Underscore “_” as a spacer seems to work fine when the art is viewed on just about any computer.

Note to all beginner Horsie stick artists… Use underscores as spacers in your work. Only use small characters as design elements, and for “fine tuning” the position of objects. :slight_smile:
