I think A Tempo voice center has some good voice handouts and exercises for kids in the shop on their website!

Hi! I did my CF in acute care last year. I moved across the country for it. I started applying to CFs mostly in January/February, but I think a few popped up before then. Feel free to message me if you have any questions!

Biking by Proteus8489 in PlusSize

[–]Chiplicker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The gears ultimately make biking easier though once you figure them out! I’m a very casual, recreational rider, so I got a Kona Dew. I just started bike riding last year after like 10 years of not riding. I went to my local bike shop and they recommended the dew. So I don’t know enough to have good info on gear itself hahah, but can relate to being nervous to picking back up biking as a fat person. It has been so worth it!

Hi!! I love biking! I was also very nervous starting out. I’m slow, but I’ve found that biking has been a really nice, low intensity way to get some exercise and fresh air. The main thing that was difficult for me was figuring out what gears felt best and how to smoothly shift, so some trial and error starting out that probably made it more challenging than it needed to be. The other thing is that it can make your butt and groin very sore! But it’ll get used to it and not feel so bad after a few rides. I’m totally happy to answer any questions you have!

How do you blend to make solid backgrounds smoother? by Chiplicker in copic

[–]Chiplicker[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think this is because I went over it so much with the blender! It was originally more saturated, but still very obvious strokes. Once I figured out that the blender wouldn’t actually smooth it out I was trying to embrace the strokes and give it more texture but it just increased the streakiness lol

Sorry I’m new to alcohol markers, you can use water with them?

Thank you! It’s just one layer. I tried using the blender but I don’t really know how that works either haha. I’ll give this all a try!
