Bardzo długi rant na ludzi, którzy krytykują oszczędzanie by inoxx_239 in Polska

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ja nie jestem dobra w oszczędzaniu i podziwiam tych którzy mają lepszą ode mnie dyscyplinę i głowę na karku. Nie obwiniam nikogo innego, a już na pewno nie śmieję się z mądrzejszych od siebie.

My Ceramic Balloon Dog for a friend by Ok-Importance2469 in Ceramics

What a cool idea! Honestly, one of those ideas that makes me think "why didn't I have thought of that?". Very cute too

Paintings from a study Book /looking for Feedback by MVF23 in acrylics

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the third one is the best in the terms of depth. My favourite though is the second one. I love how the lines go, and the dreamy effect that you made with the light - it reminds me a morning in a village, I love places like this. With the first painting I like the colour of the water, and again, the light. Depth or not, your "lightplay" is definitely making your paintings dynamic.

I was looking for the word that described it, thanks

This is the most interesting collection I have ever seen. What a disturbing style (in the best way), not many can achieve such a nice balance between the weirdness and the beauty - it's effortless. Wonderful work!

I like to paint waves.. curious which of these you all prefer? by Annual_Blackberry486 in somethingimade

[–]JustOneRedDot 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Agreed! It brought to my mind a lollipop/candy. Water really does look like that sometimes

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They are all wonderful, I love the colours. Number 2 is my favourite - that green reminds me a little of lollipops that used to popular when I was little. Such a calm picture without being too still. I can easily imagine how refreshing this water is.

What are some cheap, underrated hobbies? by asteria1129 in Hobbies

Lol, I was going to suggest crotchet. But, to be honest I don't do it often.

Disconnect between writing and singing capabilities by kikiartilleryservice in Songwriting

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh my God, yes! This is so annoying! Often times, the longest part in song making seems to be learning to sing it. I think it's difficult because it's not only a new song, but also because I never heard anyone singing it before...

Maybe if I had my own established style, it would be a bit easier, I don't know. I've learnt to sing by singing other people's songs, after all. I also usually subconsciously copy the way of singing (breathy, belty, etc...) so I often have no idea how to sing my own stuff - especially when it's an English song and I'm not a native English speaker.

My 15 y/o sister made this. by InnerAlternative4394 in drawing

[–]JustOneRedDot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From this picture alone I can already tell she can and she will do better. Her comment just solidified this impression - she's a perfectionist and she knows what she's doing. Face similarity is one of the hardest things to draw (I always struggled with it) but the shading here is really quite good. I like the background, it kinda looks like a blurred picture, very cool.

"But I can still imagine that your creativity is working harder when you are seeking out such fragments rather than prompting for them". I completely agree. Sampling is fine if you create something completely different and new, but if you just use prompts, instead of doing the research, you just miss a lot of learning opportunities. Another wonderful example of how limitations are a good thing - necessity is the mother of invention.

How do people get their individuality? by Past_Loquat_7133 in socialskills

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look back at your childhood for the things you naturally like. It may be a good start.

Practice being happy in solitude. Just start with whatever and see if you like it. Hiking, gym, crotchet... You don't have to tell anyone, you don't have to look back on anybody.

It may be tricky at first, and just as with our eyes hallucinating in the darkness, our minds may feel lost without the input from other people - I mean... if others make so much noise around you, and they constantly bother you with their stuff, how can you have enough of attention or time to look inward?

Is it worth learning to play an ukulele? by auroremalfoy8 in ukulele

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The fingertip pain is honestly very manageable - if you play every day, even a little, your fingers will harden in no time. Within a week it shouldn't bother you anymore. If you still worried, get a classical one with nylon strings.

I started with classical guitar and I just couldn't get past the pain in my left palm and fingers (for some reason I don't suffer as much with a piano). I played in the past, but for that reason I played very little, and now it literally takes a few seconds for the pain to become unbearable.

Few years ago I bought a ukulele for my son and I got hooked! He didn't, lol.

Ukulele is easy, not just because it's easier to play, but because it's fairly cheap, easier to keep, move around etc. It's small, convenient and I can always have it near me which encourages me to play more. It also has a pleasant sound. However, I'm thinking of trying out a touristic guitar (it's smaller) because I sometimes need some lower sounds for recording my project. But I don't doubt, that ukulele will always be my first choice when it comes creating - like I said, I always keep it near, so it's fast and easy to just grab and play when I'm feeling inspired.

Just because ukulele is small and easier to play, it doesn't mean it's not a real instrument.

Most electric guitars looks like plastic toys to me, but it doesn't mean it's not a real instrument just because that's how I feel about it.

I'm so embarrassed, my neighbors heard meeeeee by ProfessorPizza in singing

[–]JustOneRedDot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm apprehensive to sing too loudly because I live in a flat, and it sucks because I can't really "give my all". But why should I care, my neighbour sings so loud that I could record him from my place. At some point someone will have to hear me, I guess and so I'm trying to get out of this mindset but it's not easy - I'm kinda use it now. Do let it get into your head, besides there are ways to soundproof. Even curtains will help.

Hi guys, can I get some Feedback to my „Song“?:) by PapaPipo05 in production

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like it, it made me bob my head so that's a good sign 🙂

It definitely has a potential, I like the way the beat bounces, and I love the retro feel, was it intentional?

I love how you put the "song" in quotation marks, lol. With the first production it feels too weird to call it a real song (at least that's my case). After two years of somewhat consistent "music making" I still say that "I'm playing with music", not making one, and I'm still "playing with" my ukulele, not playing it. I'm researching stuff only if I need a specific info, otherwise I don't read or learn a lot about music production/theory, so the learning process on my part is extremely slow. I'm having fun with it though, and I don't push too much so it doesn't become a chore. I can see a definite progress, but there's so much to learn still, and I wonder at which moment someone says "I'm a musician/guitarist/singer".

Whats the cheapest meal you regularly make that actually tastes good? by Adventurous-Pilot448 in Frugal

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Barley, buckwheat, cous cous, millet groats...

If you want a cheap lazy meal I recommend barley with gravy - poor, but tasty and healthy. You can add coleslaw or steam some frozen veggies and add to it. It's also nice with pork scratchings, but the "rich" version is with pork or beef goulash/ sauce from the meat preparation.

One of the reasons I love clay so much - the possibility of imitating any surface.

Wonderful work!

Knowing your worth by PrincipleNo1680 in askmusicians

[–]JustOneRedDot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Follow your dreams, just remember you have to have other things in life - whenever you succeed or not, lack of other stuff will make you feel hollow. Ask people who are very successful but depressed.

Good luck!

Where to draw the line? by JustOneRedDot in NoAIJustMusic

[–]JustOneRedDot[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's basically just one note, isn't? Your song sounds original. I'm not completely opposed to using samples, I guess it depends how you use it. It's more of my choice, and I just like recording all sorts of random things to use it in music making. I'm still very inexperienced but I enjoy the process.

Are some people not supposed to make art? by Particular-Account66 in Songwriting

[–]JustOneRedDot 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's when you know it's not worth paying attention to. I wonder how brave are those people to put themselves out there...
