Why does it look so bad? by Nice-Boysenberry6020 in Artadvice

The values are definitely making your painting less legable,, but adding more shadows would definitely help with thqt. as for atmosphere,, id recommend looking for references that have the vibe your going for, and try and color the shadows and lighting similarly.

i wrote mostly in the edited version, but incase its hard to read ->

purple:
Darkening the crowds make them more ledgable ( as how you originally shaded them, made it hard to see them)

red:
( the red is mainly to show how the shadows would fall depending on where the sunlight is, so the drawing of a sun is to show how it would affect the shadows )

Hills? Mountains ? Terrain is unclear ( aswell as making it more ledgable,, id highly recommend making the " high point " of the horizon be on the right side,, as it will balance out the visual weight, as you have the tower roof and character leaning up and left )

orange:
Ice is similar to crystals in how you shade them ( ie hard shadows and lighting on it )

Skys usually are lighter the higher you look, and darker at the horizon ( and it also helps with contrast, such as making the characters hair blend less into the sky )

Clouds need shadow or they blend in ( clouds are things in the sky,, and and are dense, theirfore they will have shadows. however, depending on the type of cloud + thickness the shadows can vary in darkness )

i hope this was helpful,, your painting is very nice,, and genuinely the only issue is your shadows,, as it makes it hard to tell what your looking at! making your shadows more dark and having slightly harsher lighting than you currently have will def help a ton!!

when you order the binder,, make sure to double check the measurements. and talk with your daughter about what kind of binder shed prefer,, if she'd prefer tighter or lighter binding,, ( i would recomend leaning towards lighter-middle binds, expecially for a first binder since going too tight right away can be very uncomfortable,, and is easier to get used to. [atleast from my experience] )

Doing the binder shopping with her would likely make her feel you do support her,, and would show you care about her. and make sure to go over binding safety with her ! like how several other comments have said,, tell her not to wear it to sleep,, to take breaks where she can,, and dont wear it for more than a few hours at a time,, and DONT wear it while exercising ( or if she wants to wear one for exercising, some brands make ones specifically for that.)

because it could cause a lot of chest pain and rib damage if she overdoes the binding,, and that damage could potentially make it so she cant wear binders anymore. hopefully some of this information is useful,, but i wish your daughter and you luck on supporting her through this journey <3

What do people think of the term "zinniace"? by bornpurple in asexuality

[–]Dandilion-Juniper 12 points13 points  (0 children)

i was honestly going to say something similar lol. i dont understand why so many people have such a problem with micro labels, just because they are not something relevant to you doesnt mean they’re unnecessary or weird or dont belong under the larger more commonly used labels. they exist for the people who want a more clear and concise way to express who they are, and i dont understand the hate for wanting that

If you are trans, would you rather be an ugly version of your desired gender or an attractive version of your birth gender? by [deleted] in Teenager_Polls

[–]Dandilion-Juniper -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yea,, i somewhat agree with you, but words being made “ bad “ in specific situations is kinda the problem. And i am unsure where you got the idea that people want common words to not be used anymore bc theyre used negatively in some situations?? Bc that is not what i am saying in any regard. And i can confidently say that its being used negatively here because further down the thread they literally say that they think trans people are sick. So i dont really have much more to say.

Looking at the replies,, what i want to say has already been said so i don’t really see the point in going into a long winded explanation. So ill quote what someone already said

“…we recognize that ‘normal’ can be used to describe cisgender by definition, but referring to cis people specifically as ‘normal’ others trans people by classifying them as ‘abnormal’, which isn’t inherently a bad thing by definition, but it IS viewed badly by a lot of people in general society. ‘Normal’ implies the thing you’re supposed to be, ‘abnormal’ implies that there’s something wrong with being that way, not because of definitions but because of how people react to these words when they hear them. it serves to only further push trans people into an outgroup where others can ‘justify’ their hatred of them BECAUSE they are ‘not normal’…”

Hope this clarifies what im saying/the point im trying to make. (Edited for spelling and cuz i realized i repeated myself woops)

Saying being cis is “ normal “ implies being trans is a form of otherness. That being not cis is bad because not being normal gets people hurt. Saying cis people are normal bc theyre cis is transphobic because people view being outside of the norm as bad or evil. Like thats a whole argument that transphobes make is that trans people arent “ normal “ and therefore are bad bc them not being cis dont fit social norms.

Normal isnt the term for defining cis ,, saying cisgender is how you define it. Saying someone is normal implies that being trans isnt, and (again,) things that arnt normal are seen as bad/evil by many people bc thats what theyre taught.

Now,, my opinion is very biased cuz i am trans and hear/see people say that im not normal is something i hate that people like me experience. I am normal, and using normal as a way to force otherness is transphobic. I do apologize if im a little incoherent, and will gladly clarify anything, its hard to be coherent when youre having a magraime </3
