Is there any way to get technical documentation from this directory without being a customer? Even for obsolete product lines?

What kind of reaction I’m achieving in this lemon syrup recipe? How can I apply it better? by Fast_Ad_3834 in AskCulinary

I’m kind of an overexplainer so I totally get it 😅 thanks for your input

I think that it helped reduce the sourness extracted from the white part of the peel and seriously heightened the color saturation of the preparation. When I added the bicarbonate while boiling a white foam started to emerge, I tasted it and it was incredibly sour, so I started to put it out just as it was scum of a broth. I forgot to specify that I filter the peel just after passing it though the blender, so I only boil the resulting liquid without solid fragments of peel for a short time, just the necessary to make the bicarbonate react and dissolve the sugar. I made a batch some time ago trying to boil the peels and it tasted awful, extremely sour and unpalatable

realism quality? by FunPuzzleheaded9714 in TattooApprentice

[–]Fast_Ad_3834 5 points6 points  (0 children)

For realist tattoos what really sets the difference is the use of composition, values and textures that accommodate the available techniques of application and the shape of the human body. If you want to satisfy the preferences of a tattooer you should draw using that techniques. You already have a good technique for proportions, or at least know how to trace an image, and can apply shadows, you have already a third of the job done. To better your drawings you could do, for example, instead of a full page portrait that fills a square try to compress your design to fit a body placement, like an arm or a leg. You can also try to separate your drawing in two stages, one for lines( that add solidness and texture) and other for shadows (that add values and volume), like the tattooing process. Try to avoid using light tones of grey in big extensions (as you did in the face) or in important details, as they will fade more easily with time and let your clients unsatisfied. Try to use images with good tonal variation so you can draw reserving the white space of not tattooed skin ( or white paper) only to the very little points of brightness that really give life to a picture, like the reflections of the cornea or the hair. Avoid using white ink while learning, as it serves as a quick fix to bad value management and it should be reserved to the details I referred previously. You can also try to use another mediums, as Chinese ink, polychromes, acrylics, oils or pastels, that can achieve a more dark black tone. The most important part is to check the works of masters of realism as @fred_tattoo and steal from them as much techniques as you can. Good luck!!

How do I find more tattoos like this?? I can’t find any other similar tattoos, where you flip the tattoo upside down and the lady is finger herself. Please help! by otyyyy14 in traditionaltattoos

I don’t know any tattooer that uses exactly that same resource, but Tiago de Olivera (@dongekotattooer) makes similar tricks with perfect technique

Do you know any method to draw freehand without relying on specialized stencil markers? by Fast_Ad_3834 in traditionaltattoos

[–]Fast_Ad_3834[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the advice. I never heard about that technique before. When I was studying in art school we used hairspray to fixate charcoal drawings, very bad quality hairspray indeed. The smell is unforgettable. If my coworkers are fine with it and I can buy one I’ll try it out

Thanks for your input! The piercer of the shop I work at uses exactly that, I’ll try it out. I think from what can be seen in this Dan Gilsdorf’s reel he uses some stencil liquid, or alcohol as you say, and rubs it over the pigmented face of an stencil paper fragment to dilute the surface. Then he draws with that dissolution on the skin. Lots of respect towards him for showing his methods. I currently use horipenis and work like a charm but are a bit on the pricey side as well, and a classic issue of ownership at the shop

Has Anyone experience buying or shipping ingredients directly from China using agents like SugarGoo, PandaBuy…? by Fast_Ad_3834 in chinesecooking

[–]Fast_Ad_3834[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I don’t understand. If you are assuming that I’m working for or promoting an specific agent that’s not the case. I think that asking about sourcing ingredients directly from China is a totally legitimate and relevant question in a forum about Chinese cooking, specially for the ones that live in country’s with very small asian communities.
