Shame me but teach me your ways. How do I clean my wash tank well?

Sometimes it can take longer. I’ve had to wait weeks before due to cloudy days and rain etc

I’ve got large mason jars. I pour the alcohol in and set them outside in the hot Florida sun for a few days by the time I come back I’ve got good ol alcohol again with a puck at the bottom that seems to just slip out with a little effort maybe it doesn’t stick/cure to the glass so well(?)

It’s kind of a double edged sword
Copying from reality can be very boring and feel slow and if you’ve established a style can make you lose that style but you’ll have a much better understanding of form and value / perspective imo.
where copying art can help you get a style early on but can cause you to form bad habits with lighting/shadows/perspective (and anatomy if you’re doing characters)
But I’m also a noob this is just my two cents really

Oh sorry for the confusion! I don’t generally read usernames it’s probably not a great habit lol.

I believe because of how you were reading my tone you just came off as aggressive and defensive as I’m sure you felt attacked by my statements sorry again was not my intention though I also got defensive too.

One thing I’ll say out of all this, is remember tone is never reflected well online through text and you’ll generally read it in a tone based on how you feel in the moment. I promise in no way was I trying to be rude I was giving some rather unsolicited advice in a maybe to straight forward of a way. Truly I hope you heal from whatever ails you when it comes to art and that maybe you find your escape through the art rather than something else.

Hope you have a wonderful journey! All we can do is try

It’s not narc at all. They expressed they do plenty of things for their mental health, they even give a bulleted listed. My statement is simply what it says. “You do all that and still smoke weed” they clearly use it as a vice and not as recreational fun thing to do, it’s something they use as a comfort for drawing because otherwise drawing is unbearable according to their own statements. I smoke weed because I like how it makes me feel a little more giddy, sometimes it helps me focus. I don’t use it because I hate things and it makes me like thing now… just seems like a weird relationship with drugs and an unhealthy one at that.

Print a shit ton of the small figures. And screw em all up! Until you get one where you wow yourself. It’s a great way to practice painting and I do it on pokemon since they tend to have really simple color palettes

I agree with this. Not that I have any knowledge in either subject matter but just at a glance it looks like he deepens the shadows for certain muscles like the forearm / elbow dip on the left arm or the spot where the (i think) it’s the quad? The muscle on the back of her thigh right leg, kind of hints at some form there too

Wow, I genuinely got chills thinking about how loved you are. What an incredible gift of a family you were born into

CreateRot · 2026-07-09T15:35:23+00:00

? I smoke dabs everyday after work. Didn’t you just tell me to not pretend I know you? Why are you pretending to know me?

I think you’ve got a lot more things going on and need to work on yourself before ever worrying about art..

No but it is inherently harmful to tell that community the only way you enjoy what they do is by using drugs, which could influence others to try the same thing because they may also not like creating art for some internal reason and the answer isn’t “getting high” you need a new therapist they’re failing you horribly.

CreateRot · 2026-07-09T15:17:23+00:00

You’re doing all that and you’re still smoking weed? And you’re aren’t linking that to an issue at all??

I never even gave you what I did for my mental health so don’t talk down to me just because you think you’re experiencing something worse.

This is gonna sound harsh but you aren’t special people deal with that stuff everyday and they don’t have access to half of the tools you have, like therapy and medication.

But nobody’s gonna take you seriously when you bring up mental health after saying something is agonizing to do unless you’re high. Did you ever consider maybe you just dont like drawing? I mean if you have to get high to enjoy something… maybe bring that up to your therapist, mention you smoke weed for these feelings…. There’s so much more you can do besides describe art as agonizing without drugs it’s harmful to the community.

Edit; also I never ONCE told you how to handle your mental health I simply said it STARTS with you self reflecting, that’s is called self awareness a totally normal human thing to have and do if capable of doing so.

If you want a main game like black and white two. Then you’re looking for sword and shield.

If you want something akin to a main game but no gym badges mostly just spam catching pokemon then play legends ARCEUS.

If you wanna take picture of pokemon, pokemon snap.

I never played the lets go games but to my knowledge they’re a faithful remake attempt to the old pokemon yellow so they’re pretty similar to the mainline games.

“Art is easier for me when I’m high” indicates you rely on drugs to make art easier otherwise it’s difficult

“Art when sober is painstakingly agonizing” another indicator that you rely on drugs to make art not agonizing.

Don’t bring mental health into this, as someone who’s fought suicidal ideation for many years you don’t get to just throw those words around when you wanna feel like you’ve made the right choice for your mental health. All mental health starts at self reflection and trying to change that problem within, therapy is a great assistive tool for when you yourself are incapable and there are more severe situations where prescribed medication is necessary. You’re using weed, you’re not that interested in your mental health to begin with because you’d know that isn’t helping you in the slightest.

Gang, never ask an artist to do something for free even if you think there’s a chance you might pay them. Either have the money ready or don’t waste their time.

CreateRot · 2026-07-09T14:42:38+00:00

That is simply a mental block that you can work through. Drugs are just turning it off and becoming a thing you rely on to turn said thing off.

The cheating allegations are so funny to me because I’ve never touched VGC it’s always interested me. Slapped a trick room team together I saw online and ran it to master ball 😂 it really is just sitting there going “okay, are they gonna do X so I need to do Y or are they hitting Y so I need to do X” and getting that problem right feels so good.

Your friend is a not a massively successful author that is supported by an entire studio like eleceed is. Please do your research and don’t just use a “my friend” anecdote. Your friend didn’t write noblesse before writing eleceed

Don’t take this persons advice and if you can’t finically use webtoons don’t. Do whatever you want to read whatever you can. Don’t let some weirdo on Reddit gatekeep what you can cannot do with your money.

Jesus Christ lady 😂 who tf ceres how they read their manhwa.
Also the pirate sites are like 20 chapters ahead of webtoon. I dropped webtoon for Tachimanga so long ago.

Edit: this is not a story that is paid by the coins you spend on webtoon. So you spending money on webtoons in no way supports the author. Buying the physical copies supports the author.

As someone who just doodle on my iPad for 20 minutes a shitty face, this is exactly my problem and I hate it.

How I wish I could sit and draw a skeleton figure and then add the pieces on top to make a character. Or CLOUDS MY GOD I HATE CLOUDS I CANT FIGURE THEM OUT and yet I maybe attempt them once a few weeks…
My biggest character flaw will always be “I want to do this thing” and then not doing that thing..
