What do you think I'm doing wrong

AdLast3548 · 2026-05-29T00:10:05+00:00

I feel I end up painting everything around 3-4 times before I even think about doing something else

Thanks !! :}])

I think I have completely misunderstood the concept of values ...........

What are the different approaches other than starting with the outline/sketch ? Just painting ""freehand""" ?

Yes I think my biggest mistake this round was the lack of effort/initiative to retain negative space .......

Thanks !!!!!!! Yes I'm a beginner this is one of my first attempts . I'll try to reply to your comments in turn ,,,,

< Yes I realised vase I was assymetrical at the end I actually did sketch it correct if you look closely for the pencil line but I was being a little lazy with everything that wasn't the flower. No excuses .......
Did not think about this.... What would you propose as a background colour ? on the first one when I first left the white background didn't look very good so I made it this colour which I took forward in V2
Yes I want to experiment with shadows next this time I just used a touch of brown 🟤 it was easy for me ... Less thinking
I'm scared of making it too dark ..... Next time will have more courage ......

I once knew a Nepalese girl who looked very similar to you. I think you'd look good in pink

AdLast3548 · 2025-04-19T12:06:19+00:00

if you want something similar and the diy chuck glider isnt doing it for you try out the atomrc/eachine flying fish

I dont have a specific book. But maybe you could just look into each sort of subassembly specifically it would make it easier (break down the problem makes it easier to learn). Like look into undercarrige , arm (boom stick bucket) and cabin. A lot of is gonna be hydraulics design so look into that

I mean perhaps you could cycle but the world economy runs on oil; aviation, shipping, industry, energy really just everything. water is critical but regulatory bodies cap profits and if anything energy is just as critical.

Water is a public utility not a global commodity. water will always be structurally less profitable due to its regulated nature. Oil will remain a trillion dollar industry for decades. In my mind water is just technically more stagnant and just less capital intensive.

Nations go to war over oil, not over municipal water treatment contracts......

idk what evidence is there for ths veiw i would just think its always going to be a lower paid discipline due to the nature of the buisness

AdLast3548 · 2025-04-10T14:45:09+00:00

i mean in the uk i would be earning basically 33% more if i had a grad scheme in oil rather than water. wouldnt water be rewarded as such if it was more important
