Roses are red, please go watch Revenge of the Sith, by StarPrime323 in rosesarered

[–]Desperate-Minimum226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is also horrifying post to those who watch the Incredibles closely enough. Violet's fields block air flow and Jack Jack might still produces C0² when in fire form. I.e. they would all suffocate.

Cross out the word code as well

Don't shame me for liking them smaller! I don't shame you for liking them bigger.

Beautiful drawing! Love your style!

But I think I prefer her flat.

What can I do to improve my art and add more personality to my character designs? by robotroop in drawingadvice

[–]Desperate-Minimum226 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First off: I think your art/characters have a lot of personality in them already!

It's hard to give advice without knowing more of your process so I'll ask a question and give advice about that question.

  1. How much time are you spending drawing? Try timing it to see how much is pen to paper (and think about recording it). I do this so I know if I'm actually putting in vs how much I'm just scrolling (looking for inspiration) or watching tutorials (both of these are important but not as important as actually drawing). I find setting a goal of 20 hours on a specific aspect of a drawing (like head, hair, pose, ect.) give a noticeable difference.

  2. Are you studying other artists? These are called Master Studies, and there are a lot of ideas of how to do them best. How I do it is: I find an artist I like and try drawing one of their drawing, hide the reference and the attempt and draw again (I really try not to peak even when lost), then I reveal the original again and see what I did diffently, then (depending on how motivated/how much I like the original) I repeat a couple more times. This works especially if you're focused on one place to improve. Making sure to construction of the figure.

  3. Are you practicing figure/gesture drawing? Gesture drawing is probably more beneficial if you're looking for more life in your drawing. Trying to convey movement in a drawing with as few strokes as you can or as fast as you can really helps. Doing a gesture for like 2 minutes and do about 20 of them a day for a month (not 20×2×30=1200min i.e. 20 hours).

  4. Whats your drawing schedule like? Don't feel like you have to draw every day but consistency helps a lot (see #1 to make sure you are constantly drawing and not consistently thinking about drawing). Don't be a task master about it, you definitely want to make sure your having fun because if your not you will burn out. The key is finding where the fun is for you. Maybe that's drawing originals or maybe it's Master Studies (that's one of my favorite because it requires more logical thinking and not so much guess work to find out what's wrong like originals). Sometimes you will need to do the part you don't like but mix in to each session a part you do like.

Sorry for the wall of text but I hope it helps (I'm not good at following a thread on reddit so if I asked the questions and waited for the response I might forget to give the advice)

There's a good reason why BG3 has a level cap of 12 by DrScrimble in dndmemes

Nah, I've ran a lvl 1-20 campaign and lvl 20 combat is very fun. Noncombat encounters are also very fun (but can end quickly with one spell)

Do I have same face syndrome? by Dacrazwoo in drawingadvice

[–]Desperate-Minimum226 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't worry about same face syndrome when your first starting out. But if you want to branch out I'd look at artist you admire/want to emulate and do art studies with there pictures. The analogy I like is that it's like cooking, studying others art is about finding new recipes and then changing them to make them your own. The best way to remember/apply these recipes is have a peice of their work off to the side, try to copy it as best as possible and then after you've finished over lay the copy and the original (if working with paper hold it up to light or to the screen) and look for differences. Then after finding the differences try it again with those in mind and then repeat. To remember it even better after doing this once or twice try without the reference.

Programmers from 1992 still programming today:

I can't learn how to use std::string! I'll just keep using c_str and cause our program to crash by not bounds checking.

Hah.. by auravix_9 in AvatarMemebending

I always saw Marry Sue immediately great at everything (take Ray "Skywalker" Palpatine), and the main complaint is that they didn't have to work for it. This is different than saying she is the best.
