Guys, I can't submit my homework. I uploade images to imjur https://imgur.com/a/hjwrRcb and https://imgur.com/a/SeZEX4o and I can't submit because of an "invalid url" message. the urls are valid. What do?

I have the same issues when I wanted to link my pics from Instagram. I don't know the solution yet, But posting your works on discord seems like a good alternative for me.

Apparently, there's a separate URL field above the description which I missed. Have ou filled that out? I didn't see it forever just kept messing w/ the URLs in the message field. XD

Could you take a screenshot of how you're filling the submission form? I've seen some people put their url in the wrong field on occasion, thinking that the url field is a subject line instead (the submission title for homework is generated automatically).

After a lot of trial and error I was able to figure it out. I either didn't see the separate URL field or thought it was the subject field, like you said. So it's a bit of a UX issue. I would suggest highlighting the field that is invalid or needs to be filled in to draw the user's attention to it.

I was able to submit my homework at the end. Thanks! Sorry for the confusion.

I'll look into doing that, when I have some time away from critiques/updating lesson content.

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

Pentel Pocket Brush Pen

This is a remarkable little pen. Technically speaking, any brush pen of reasonable quality will do, but I'm especially fond of this one. It's incredibly difficult to draw with (especially at first) due to how much your stroke varies based on how much pressure you apply, and how you use it - but at the same time despite this frustration, it's also incredibly fun.

Moreover, due to the challenge of its use, it teaches you a lot about the nuances of one's stroke. These are the kinds of skills that one can carry over to standard felt tip pens, as well as to digital media. Really great for doodling and just enjoying yourself.
