Rules

AI Art: While we appreciate AI generated art, there are more appropriate communities to post that type of art to. Please keep posts to non-AI generated art only. This rule includes AI art that was then manually manipulated (e.g. drawing on top of something generated by AI).

NSFW Policy: Nudity and suggestive content has always been a part of art, but it may be something that some users don't wish to see or cannot view in certain circumstances (e.g. at work). If your work contains nudity or suggestive content, please mark it as NSFW. Work that contains nudity or suggestive content that is not marked as NSFW will be taken down. As long as the NSFW tag is used, we welcome nude or suggestive subject matter. If you aren't sure if your work is NSFW or not, just ask yourself, "Could I look at this at a typical office job and not get into trouble?" If you're still not sure after that, you should probably mark it as NSFW just to be on the safe side.

Spam: Please do not spam this community. Self promotion is fine if you just want people to be aware of your work, but blatant attempts at spam will result in the past being removed and possibly a ban. If you aren't sure if what you are posting is spam, please contact the moderator first.

Conduct: Be nice, and don't be a jerk. Constructive criticism is OK, but don't be mean. Encouragement is always welcomed.

I tried doing my coathanger cursive artwork, but in plain underlined print this time.. (lemmy.world)

Sadly, due to distractions, the coathanger broke mid bend on the last letter of my name ☹️

This is my first time even attempting to do plain simple print, while all underlined to keep the letters connected. It's way more comlicated than cursive writing, as there are a lot more sharp bends, making measuring and planning all that much more time consuming and difficult.

This print style coathanger text practice is a first for me, unfortunately failed just before the finish line...

The last lowercase 'n' was also intended to be finished, complete with the underline, but that's where it broke.

Go ahead, kick me in the ass, next time I try, I'll do so alone, no distractions, while also learning from my first try..

Curious, what you folks think?

Oh, as far as dotting the 'i', well it's impossible to do that with a contiguous piece of coathanger or other wire properly, so I figure if someone wants their 'i's dotted properly, well just stick a thumbtack in the wall above it LOL!

Unless you have another idea, I'm game for slight suggestions. Still, I'm gonna tend to doing such things as I see them.

But yeah, this experiment of trying simple underlined print proves extremely challenging, and also leads to more material use due to the extra sharp bends and overlaps taking up more material, so even if I would have completed my name in underlined print style, I would have just barely gotten the 5 letters out of it..

Thumbtack is good!
