I’ve never used 9front but I love the whole culture around it in posts like these.

People creating things that didn't exist before is so refreshing, and Prahou is such an amazing artist. Making it look easy (or for the untrained eye like silly scribbles on old thinkpads) he created a whole world around his characters, and the talent and rigor is super impressing.

I would recommend anyone to dive into it!

Somehow, in spite of noting the unusual physicality of this approach, I was profoundly unprepared to see a physical ruler being used on a touchscreen. Nice.

When mankind comes to the final judgement, the existence of 9front will be one of the three things keeping us from destruction....

Is the Stanley Lieber referred to by the title someone other than the Stanley Lieber (a.k.a. "Stan Lee") of Marvel Comics fame?

What's this? What's 9front? Who's Stanley Lieber? This is so confusing.

Deeply disappointed to read it doesn't work for iconoclasts.

this doesn't actually teach anything about how to draw. there is one thing about using a layer for drafting, but apart from that it is how to use this very specific piece of software if you already have some skills and techniques
