I’m super lucky to have been able to get my first set of Copic markers as a birthday present, it's the only thing I wanted! I still use them today, and I have every single Copic marker color that exists. I started with set 36A. If I couldn’t, there are only my art skills to blame. My reason for using them is a pretty unique one, I believe… my thought process was like, since many professionals were using Copic markers and their work was incredible, if I had the exact same tools as them, I have zero excuses to not make wonderful work at their level. I started using Copic markers when I was 16 with the creation of my Instagram page. When did you first start using Copic markers and what made you decide to use them? Even though my parents thought it was impossible to make a career out of art, artists like KAWS and Musketon (Belgian artists) were the ones that inspired me to make my dream a reality.

I’m 24 now, and I’m from Belgium. My art studio is located in Brussels. More recently, I’ve been venturing into the ‘real’ art world, making appearances in museums, selling high-quality, limited-edition art prints, paintings, NFTs, art toy sculptures, etc. Through this process, I discovered my colorful doodle style, and people loved it! From there, I started making YouTube videos about my process, and that’s when my career completely exploded. I started posting a new drawing each and every day on Instagram and quickly grew an audience of a couple of thousand people. I started taking art more seriously when I turned 16 and wanted to pursue my goal of becoming an artist.

Actuals template is an advanced template for comparing a budget and actuals, only constrained by the limitations of Excel. actual analysis is an iterative process, performed monthly, that improves budget accuracy and, more importantly, allows for quick course correction. actual variance analysis is the practice of analyzing the magnitude of these deviations and exploring why they happened. You can consider the difference between the budget amount and actuals as either favorable or unfavorable.įor example, if your actual sales fell short of projections or expenses were above the budget, the actual variance amount would be negative and considered “unfavorable.” On the other hand, if actual sales exceeded those planned or expenses were below the budget, the variance would be positive and considered favorable.ĭeviations from a budget will always occur. The difference between the planned and actual numbers is variance, and it’s crucial to minimize it, especially if you’re a startup or small business. As the financial period progresses, financial analysts should look at how the actual data compares with what they have assumed in the expense budget and revenue forecasts. Static budgets represent a base case scenario that a company uses to benchmark expenses and revenues. To save you time calculating your budget vs. The first formula allows you to calculate the difference between budget and actuals as a percentage.įor example, if the budgeted sales amount was $100,000 and the actual revenues were $75,000, then the variance is -25%.

I'm not its developer nor am I affiliated with the developer. I found this tool years ago and still use it from time to time. If you want to use Eyedropper on windows with a tool like Paint, you can do the math with the ratios explained above, or just use the RGB value whenever possible. Hue is endpoint-exclusive (because 360° = 0°) whereas Saturation and Luminance are endpoint-inclusive (because 1.0 is achievable). In Windows, the Hue, Saturation, and Luminance ranges are rescaled so that they go from 0 to 240. On the other hand, Saturation and Luminance are floating point Reached because Hue is cyclical, so a value of 360° is equivalent toĠ°. ![]() Range for Hue is an angle, normalized to be greater than or equal toĠ° and strictly less than 360°. The reasoning is explained on the windows blog.
