Hey I know that one. Knock knock. Who’s there ? Banana, banana, banana, banana,……..25 times. Knock knock. Who’s there? Orange. Orange you glad I didn’t say banana again?
I am learning how to use gimp to color. Color takes planing because you want to use not more that 8 colors for a line drawing sketch and black and white are musts usually so reduces choices.
I am just simple pen and colored pencil but am learning gimp and can at least clean them up and ink now for a kinda pro looking production. I still draw by hand though. It is very time consuming.
That’s how I am, too. I’m a writer, and my typical M.O. is that words/ideas gush like the rapids for months then, suddenly, I deflate & have to play zombie for a couple of weeks. Luckily, the rapids always start rolling again like clockwork every time!

We old people could never chew that. I do like frozen banana dipped in chocolate though.

I am amused by the irony of a carrot who needs eyeglasses and the sprouting creativity.
