Do you know why you apply this logic to planets, but not stars?

I also can’t name all the planets outside of our solar system, but that seems to be less of an issue for you.

I can’t.

I think Pluto having been widely regarded as a planet before and having a visible heart shape on it’s surface is an easier sell. I say they are both planets.

What’s the problem with having many many planets in our solar system?

You also can’t find a good problem with this, can you?

What’s the problem with having many many planets in our solar system? You don’t have to remember them all.

We also have many many stars in our galaxy. We don’t have to know their names for them to still be stars.

Because Pluto is the 9th planet?

How are you counting?

Pluto and the others are planets even without including them all in the mnemonic. The mnemonic is for the first 9 planets, just like you only remember the first few digits of pi.

the people who decided Pluto’s no longer a planet

Yes. Fuck Mike Brown. I don’t know why many people still let him dictate what to think of as a planet. The concept of “planet” is entirely man-made and doesn’t follow any god given or universal criteria. While some astronomers argue that our moon is a planet too, the current criteria would even de-classify earth as a planet, should it get knocked out of our solar system.

I see Pluto as a Planet, and have yet to see a good argument against it.

Thanks for explaining, as a digital artist I always feel out of place in these situations and I never know where to put my stuff or how to work alongside all the analog artists. Sometimes I just sit on the floor, with everyone else, towering (almost tripping) over me, standing by their easels. Very out of place.

But how do you set your devices up on the easel? Or do you draw on your lap? Do you draw standing up or sitting down?

They look incredible. Is this digital? Is this Gimp or Sketchbook? Can you share your setup? How do you judge the brightness of your screen when in a brightly lit room?

Technically, unless procedurally generated with nodes, there would be a normal map texture/bump texture applied to the soup to get those reflections.

That’s just to make sure people don’t actually sit down on the ham, as it’s collecting aroma.
