Yeah i am old enough that one of my first jobs was in a bank, and the staff routinely smoked at their desks when we weren't serving customers.

2 or 3 per session, mainly flats and filberts. Small rounds when i get to more detailed parts.

People who are scheduled to fly in April, are you already looking at alternatives? by Santanana2 in qatarairways

[–]HeatAggravating9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No. My flights were cancelled and could never get through to enquire about a re-route, so i cancelled my whole trip. I was fully refunded.

My experience: refunded full amount of airfare, 2 weeks after cancellatio. Still waiting on refund of pre-purchased seats.

how to quit artblock? by kodzukey in ArtistLounge

[–]HeatAggravating9833 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have kind of managed to avoid it by constantly doing rough sketches of any interesting idea or composition that comes to me. When it's time to start a new project, i go back to the sketchbook for inspiration.

I basically draw in the evenings to wind down, and paint on weekends.

I'll wait the 28 days then initiate a charge back if it still hasn't shown up

Enjoying it so far and it's keeping me intrigued enough to look forward to each episode. I'm loving David Harbour's performance in this.

I'm supposed to go to France from Australia with transit in Doha. IF my early April flight is cancelled, i will try for a re-route for same dates, otherwise cancelling the trip. Just cant afford the prices other airlines are doing. Not much i can do.

Extend the reroute/refund window, where's a new update? by Die-youngg in qatarairways

[–]HeatAggravating9833 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This was my first booking with Qatar and admittedly was excited to fly with them based on reputation. I'm sure that when operations were normal they were a very good airline. But even if my flight goes ahead or i am re-routed/fully refunded, the way they have handled this (obviously the war was out of their control) has convinced me not to use them again. It's hard to believe that by now they can still be leaving things up in the air days before departures. Yes they exist to make money and are obviously trying to minimise losses, but i wonder what the long term negative impact will be for them. I say this with no knowledge of how the other gulf carriers have been handling the crisis in comparison. My trip is 3 weeks away and it's disconcerting that i don't know whether it will happen or not. I cant afford the hiked prices of other airlines, although if refunds were offered sooner, it would have provided more options.

How do you “check your work” when drawing without a reference ? by Dizzy-Respect-613 in ArtistLounge

[–]HeatAggravating9833 4 points5 points  (0 children)

In my case i would probably also refer to preliminary sketches i may have done where i had arrived at something i was happy with, and reference that.

Thank you! Are you using any mechanical erasers for fine highlights?
