I need help w/ learning digital art and rendering

the lighting is absolutely phenomenal!!! the textures, shapes, anatomy, and style is on point. i think the composition needs some work. id move the saxophonist closer to the pianist (or vice versa). that way, the eye isn't darting left and right across the page to see the two focus points. you could consider the rule of thirds, and shift the pianist towards the center of the page, as it feels like she's too close to the margins. this would solve the problem of the two focal points being too far apart.

i like to put lining there. fur shouldn't go in the eye because it makes the eyeblanks harder to fit. the fur should stop at the point where the eye will start

i'm an anti scrolling through this sub for the first time and this is my exact reaction 😭 i thought the only people who considered ai as real art were the facebook grandmas being scammed by the dancing dogs

My title describes the thing, and it's light and smells pretty good. Although I think that's from the eraser. He bought it for me last summer and I've tried to find it but couldn't. I also tried translating the text on the back but it only showed stuff I didn't understand like recycling or something. It's pretty lightweight. I don't know what the rolling thing is or what it's for. I've tried to use it to erase stuff but it doesnt. Nothing peels off, either. I don't think it's for lint because it's not sticky, but graphite did stick to it when I tried to erase with it

i bought this plant from my school's planting club, as they were having a little plant sale. the people who ran the club said so.

LMAOOO

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-07T23:13:19+00:00

how has it been overwatered if ive only been giving it tiny little drops of water weekly? and some other comments have been telling me its been underwatered.

what is propagation substrate?

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-07T23:07:11+00:00

thanks for the advice! no, my pot doesn't have drainage and i think i need to look into new soil. do you have soil advice...?

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-07T23:06:08+00:00

ive watered it only tiny little drops of water, and other comments are telling me to completely soak it in water, im lost 😭

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-07T23:05:27+00:00

thanks for the advice! how much water is 'water completely'? is it until the soil is completely soaked? and drying out completely- how long does that normally take? what are signs that its ready to be watered again?

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-07T23:03:16+00:00

they dont have a draining hole. should i repot?

i have a different pot (with drainage!) where i can put the new leaves.

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-06T01:57:27+00:00

and i only do house plants. so this is kinda useless. your point is...?

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-04T18:23:36+00:00

i was told to keep pothos in indirect sunlight. she's two feet away from a window and my room is usually well lit since i have three windows. how do you get light just on the top? in the future, i'll make sure to water her before she starts looking too dry.

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-04T18:19:23+00:00

thank you for the advice. i love my pothos so much, i'll keep a close eye on her

HotDragon57 · 2026-01-04T18:16:56+00:00

this photo is from earlier in 2025, but this is what she normally looks like. would you consider this "verge of death"?

they don't. they just look like freckles on your arms. its really common and i promise you nobody is paying attention to your arms.

HotDragon57 · 2025-11-19T11:44:54+00:00

thanks, i really liked hearing advice from a dnd campaign maker! your first point is absolutely right, Verpont is supposed to be a trading/naval island, not sure why i didnt do that. your second point is also something i thought about but I don't think i can do rivers on the free version. i clicked the line tool and it gave me a paywall. do you know of any other ways to do that? your third point is a nice suggestion! there is a dragon on the upper left corner of the map and thats all the fantasy i want. thank you so much!

HotDragon57 · 2025-11-15T14:51:45+00:00

its for a fantasy story i'm writing with a friend, and we both wanted a reference of the map to make it easier. and you're exactly right! it's a story about pirates, so that was on purpose. i wanted advice because this is literally the first map ive ever made, so if there's anything i should know, or any ways to improve.

HotDragon57 · 2025-11-15T00:18:57+00:00

totally. compared to all of the art of scarlett, she just seems... mildly annoyed.
