What paint do u use?

I also draw and paint (~~poorly~~ amateur-ly) from time to time, so I have a bunch of paint lying around. What I used in the photo was gouache. But I could have easily used watercolor or oil paint for it (maybe I should on the next ones).

What knife did you use?

Most of them were done using a flexcut detail knife. And maybe a bit way done with a BeaverCraft detail knife. I do have the flexcut carving or roughing knife, but i received it dull and for the life of me I haven't been able to get it sharp using a whetstone 😥. But that being said, the detail knife works great for this small stuff.

Try the wizard next

I had trouble making the nose/beak work on an owl and it turned me off from doing those kinds of projects, but I will try again a little later. I'm currently working on a set of books (from his recent video) which the few I made was really fun to make and paint.

edit: added extra line so that my replies aren't also "quotes"

Probably somewhere under 10 hours. I think it takes me ~1h per project + whatever time i take to paint it.

They are made from 1" x 1" x 4" blocks so they're pretty small and relatively quick to make.

If you do decide to pick it up, checkout Linker. He's got some great videos to draw inspiration from (and his videos kinda pushed me try it out myself).

Changing links to add their affiliate codes was enough of a shady thing for me to swear off this browser. No telling what kind of a fast one the company will try to pull in the future.

Have you tried setting a breakpoint and seeing if it hits? Assuming the app you are debugging is just a Console.WriteLine("Hello World"); and no breakpoints are set, the app will execute, output hello world, and terminate. Which means you wouldn't see anything happen in VS Code.

If you are super new to all this, I would suggest you look for videos/articles on how to debug using visual studio code as they may provide some insights or concepts you may not already know.

It might be a good idea to hide the button until a user scrolls up a little first. This way the users intent is clear, they either want to scroll up a little or a lot.
