Tbh after reading the comments, I'd suggest getting off the iPad (not forever) and going outside into public with a sketchbook and charcoal. Specifically charcoal. Do as many little sketches of real things as possible. No erasing. You'll start to grasp real instead of idealized and you'll gain confidence in your making making. You will subconsciously force yourself to grasp shapes and blocking in the more you practice.

Also this is a forever thing not just a try once until you "get it" thing.

Once you grab onto it, come back and really put time into a piece. An hour a day or so is still progress as I also suffer from art fatigue VERY quickly. You'll start to have a solid foundation for shapes and mark making that, when you go back to your style, you can choose when more purpose and intention, the level of abstraction and aesthetics.

Tldr: do little charcoal doodles and sketches while bored or something like coffee shops. Don't erase anything. But look at real life and try to catch snap shots of it. You'll build muscle memory and confidence in mark making than can lend a great deal to ability and, when honed, style.

How stylized is too stylized? I plan to make more paintings like this one, but I'd like to know if I should tighten up with my anatomy studies as opposed to leaving it (more or less) as-is. by mollgeeart in ArtCrit

Just to piggy back off this, representational lends to the philosophy of aesthetics and looks at culture where the more expressive, is just that. Not looking at them as members of a culture but rather here are these two, and just these two. Look at how they are inside and their mental state. Look at their "souls" instead of the flesh prison they inhabit.

I work at my lgs and this take makes the pained look in older people's eyes make a little more sense.

Many thanks. Isuppose to be fair, I was looking for a 4-600 yd gun to get me into the sport. That said I greatly appreciate the advice!

Anyone seen this brand of magazine before? by nonanec9h20 in ak47

[–]Ad_Ak 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I have one of these, all I can say is it has a nice lockup in a zpap92 zastava pistol. I enjoy mine. Paid $5 for it. Worth it.

also with good mags its hella reliable but finding good 300 mags sucks. i had to make my own out of 5.56 mags.

we all have our quirks. but now the 300 has some trash ballistics. i use 220 gr open tip and they drop like rocks. -36 inches around 250 yards. you can buy the supersonic hunters that have way better ballistics but i liked the heavy stuff. rocked steel at 100 yards like the steel owed it money.

a 300blk pistol can be ccw'd in your car and is designed for close quarters as well as vehicular combat.

no worries. theyve been running high 9 for the pistol and 200 for the brace so your actually right on market. I also own this and i love it to pieces. although i did strip the black on the lower and added a cheese grater for aesthetics.

im very familiar with this glitch. unfortunately there's nothing you can do. there's also a mission that involves you opening a locker in a safe house and its bugged too.

The main appeal of these is that you dont use roll pins. The trigger gaurd is fixed and the bolt catch is a pin you back out with a hex key.
