eSun PLA+ Cream White?

eSun PLA+ Cream White?

Hi everyone, I'm new to 3D printing so bear with me.

As I understand eSun PLA+ is the golden standard for minis, but I saw that people often use gray. I wanted to try Cream White cause I would need it for other stuff, so my question is, is it OK or would it behave differently based on color?

Thanks to anyone that can help.

Sliced Cube 8 Sided Die

If I wanted to create an 8 sided die by cutting off two corners of a cube instead of using an octahedron, what would the exact sizes of the cuts need to be in order to have the same chance of landing on each side of the die?

Assuming the cube has edge length of 1 I guess the most obvious thing would be to generate two parallel equilateral triangles, so what would the distance between the two triangular faces need to be?

Or is there some other cut configuration that would work better for some reason?

Would having rounded corners and edges like in regular dice alter the dimensions of the cuts to maintain the equal chances?

Is this even possible?

I'm trying gesture drawing, specifically I'm following Michael Hempton's book and YouTube tutorials.

Now I understand that in gesture we're trying to extrapolate energy and rhythm, so we avoid doing silhouettes, but I feel like to get the feel of the pose I either do too little (like one spine line and a couple basic lines for the limbs) or too much (for some poses i basically end up with a complete silhouette).

Now, comparing with some of Hampton's drawings (picture 2) I still feel I scribble much less than him, so I find myself thinking I draw too much even when I have less lines than him. On the other hand I'm also kinda happy with the results im getting so I don't know what should I do differently if anything at all.

Any advice?
