No undo button, we die like the kings of hyrule
#they die a lot#ok small rant but do you know how hard it is for me to understand the undo button?#I carve eggs. EGGS.#my primary form of art for years has been on something that's very breakable- but also every stroke I make is completely irreversible#I can't erase a layer of eggshell I carved and I can't cover it up or like. add more eggshell on top of it fhcjdhxudjd#same with etching glass- I can't undo anything there#the closest I've gotten to an erase button before is carving rocks- which you can't take back a stroke but won't really be visible#unless it's really deep and intentional#and I can erase pencils if I sketch it out on an egg first#but other than that it's just. if I make a stroke in art in my mind it's there permanently because there's no going back#If my drill skids across an eggshell while I'm doing it I change the entire design to accommodate that and make the mark look intentional#so this undo button thing makes no sense to me!! If I make a mistake should I not just keep going??? and find ways to work around it#because that's what I have to do with eggs#Also there's layers- and doing layers in digital art is actually easy for me to grasp because I've carved emu eggs#(emu eggs have different tiny layers of colour I can carve through)#but the undo button can die by my blade#like the kings of hyrule to gavondoofies. yes.#personal#lol????
