remember that time they legit tried to have a gritty loony tunes reboot
this can’t be real
it is
iirc the first season was played pretty straight but by season two the creators realized how ridiculous this concept was and were just like “whatever, fuck it” and ran with it
Do you cry whenever you sharpen your lead because you know how expensive that lead was? Then dump that dust out and use it!
You now have free powdered graphite! (If you don’t use a lead pointer, you can buy a solid graphite stick and take a hammer to it – yes, I’ve done this – or you can just go ahead and buy powdered graphite.) You can use a dry brush to paint it on your pencil drawings for a soft, light blended effect. Or…
Add a drop or two of water and mix until it dissolves. Remember that softer lead will produce darker effects, so add more or less water depending on how dark or light you want to go.
You now have powdered graphite AND erasable paint!
Paint whatever the crap.
Lift that crap out with an eraser. Darker graphite won’t come out completely, but you can soften, blend, and lighten it. You can also smudge it with a finger or brush.
Then you can go in and detail it with the same pencil you cannibalized to make the graphite powder, and it’ll all blend together because it’s the same crap.
But painting with graphite is nice because you can block in large areas and detail on top of it. And sometimes you just want to have a “brush” effect, which isn’t so quick and easy with a pointy pencil, or maybe you want to be free and loose the way only a brush can let you be.
There you go! Graphite paintings from repurposed waste materials!
If y’all use a decent box mix and use melted butter instead of vegetable oil, an extra egg, and milk instead of water, no one can tell the difference. I sure as hell can’t.
Also, if you add a little almond extract to vanilla cake, or a little coffee to chocolate cake, it sends it through the roof.
This concludes me attempting to be helpful.
yo I can vouch for this I’ve done this for the last few cakes I’ve made and holy crap it makes suuuuch a difference the cake is still fluffy, but it also seems more dense, and it doesn’t dry out like at all you can leave it uncovered on the counter all day after being cut into, and it won’t get all crusty and dry this is an amazing way to take your cakes to the next level
Oh it’s that annoying song they put on every video with a positive subject to make it seem silly or something. Just don’t use music in these videos anymore.
