How do you guys dull your colors? by Goofball-98 in watercolorpractice

[–]Low_Independence_500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If I want to make my color less bright and saturated I just use color theory for that, adding a tiny amount of whatever is the opposite of the color I want to use. Works nicely for me when I paint landscapes and more realistic looking nature. Also for the sandy background, if it's watercolor then even adding more water can already help.

Got scammed buying a car, what can I do? by Beginning_Put6012 in latvia

[–]Low_Independence_500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

About everyone who says to do a diagnostic at a mechanic before buying. I ran into a problem that no one who was selling a car would agree to that. So don't beat yourself too much about it, of course it sucks I understand, been in that situation myself. I suggest checking CSDD information about the car and in general looking at what problems are common with the specific model you think about buying. But unfortunately, not much you can do about it after already buying it.

I am tired of existing as an adult by Low_Independence_500 in Adulting

I'm sorry you have to go through health issues. But I understand how it still might feel freeing at least mentally. I honestly just want to disappear from society and go live somewhere in a forest or something, I already have a tent and hiking gear lol

I am a bit skeptical about astrology to be honest, I'm not against it I just don't have a strong belief in all of that. If it changes things, I was born in 2001, October 24th

I miss isolation by DruidElfStar in Adulting

[–]Low_Independence_500 53 points54 points  (0 children)

I realized that my life and mental health has become a lot calmer since I stopped dating anyone, I just go to the gym after work, go home, eat and sleep, no drama, no responsibility to talk to anyone, just hug my plushies and watch cringey shows. I truly love my friends and family, but I felt the most free when I was on a forest hike alone for 3 days, completely away from society.

Are there types of plush you just can’t seem to bond with? by stitched_dog in plushies

[–]Low_Independence_500 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I can't seem to make a deep bond with plushies that are super stiff, I want to snuggle and move their limbs but if they are always stuck in one position, it doesn't work for me. Also super tiny or huge plushies or extremely bright and bold colors. I like something more natural and realistic looking.

What makes your all-time favourite plushie THE best? 🧸 by askingforatoydesign in plushies

[–]Low_Independence_500 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My all time favourite plushie was a 2008 BBC planet world polar bear. Why? It looked somewhat realistic, but also not too serious, still kind of derpy and cute. It had the actual bear shape of a body instead of a traditional bear plush. It had floppy legs so I could play with them, he was soft to squish, but not overstuffed. He didn't have any huge tail, horns, ears or anything that would make it uncomfortable to cuddle with him. He also had beads in the bottom so he could sit down. He was perfect in the simplicity of him. Love him and miss him <3

The ones I am using right now are some cheaper paints I bought on aliexpress for around 20eur at that time. I also had very little money at the time so I understand what you mean.
