one thing that continually astounds me i feel like many many people who arent engineers or engineering majors or whatever genuinely do not get that engineering Well has a lot of math.

#like ok bc on twitter earlier somebody posted a speedpaint of like a fisheye lens perspective drawing pretty epic pretty cool #and in the speedpaint they drew like a sphere and lines at angles for like perspective reference #and someone qrted it and went on this whole spiel about the false dichotomy btwn engineers and artists #and how many engineers would make good artists and artists make good engineers #and to be clear i definitely agree there is a false dichotomy there #But also. well im gonna be honest engineering problem solving requires you to be able to solve the problem #which at the very least includes. A lot of math. Which from my experience #most artists arent particularly inclined towards .#anyways this tweet had like a billion likes and like kind of annoyed me because i know what theyre getting at but also its not true #😭.#^also yes im deeply and profoundly aware there are many people out there #who are both artistically and engineeringly inclined. Myself included #that being said well the venn diagram overlap is not as big as apparently some would like to believe
