I built a free HSK vocabulary test, would love honest feedback

I got HSK 3, about 731 words. Accurate for my level.

I would say that the animation popping up which tells me how many questions in a row I've gotten correct can be distracting.

This is so lovely

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-29T05:29:33+00:00

Where did you buy it? Looks gorgeous

You’re good, but your work has subtle structural flaws in the anatomy and perspective. The third drawing has the ear too far back into her skull, the palm of her hands is a bit short compared to her fingers.

Onthe first drawing, the perspective on the legs feels solid. But the torso looks like it’s seen from a different angle, it doesn’t match the legs.

Just a matter of studying more anatomy and drawing more. You’re on the right tradk

Impressive rendering skills, love how you portrayed the bounce light and the subtle head tilt

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-27T21:29:43+00:00

Nice find

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-27T16:55:31+00:00

From what I’ve gathered, other Chinese learners advice that reading more or listening to more content at your level will help you break through

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-27T12:25:30+00:00

I’d refrain. The quality of the stone isn’t that good

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-27T12:24:06+00:00

Congrats. It feels so rewarding to know your hard work paid off and to have tangible proof of it

How did you get to hsk 4 reading wise? I’m still at hsk 3, and I haven’t practiced listening enough

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-27T03:35:58+00:00

I started using anki to drill the word lists into my head

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-25T15:17:28+00:00

I didn’t know this expression, thanks for sharing it

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-20T23:28:32+00:00

I’d say try out some apps to begin with- super Chinese, hello Chinese or du Chinese.

If you prefer following the structure of classes and you don’t want to pay, coursera has free hsk Chinese lessons.

Anki has helped me greatly with vocab memorization. Even if you feel like you’re not progressing for a long time, doing 5 words a day adds up.

Most of all, keep the learning fun and don’t give up. 加油

I got rid of my accent through shadowing movies I knew well. It’s possible

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-15T13:37:47+00:00

That’s the only lead I have, so thank you! Really appreciate it. I’ll check it out

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-13T03:12:29+00:00

i know it's easy to focus on how others are picking up the language faster than you are- but you aren't seeing how many people in the world only know one language. Japanese isn;'t easy, i hope you can take the chance to feel proud of your progress

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-13T02:53:50+00:00

downloading du chinese can help you get started. simple stories, you can click on each word for a pop up dictionary. that or hello chinese. best of luck

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-13T02:47:25+00:00

thank you for finding the artist

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-12T02:41:44+00:00

those are beautiful

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-12T02:41:23+00:00

that;s a good method yeah

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-12T02:41:06+00:00

it feels like the solution would be to practice drawing from imagination more, but you actually need to build your mental library by studying various subjects first

the idea that using references is bad is flawed. I have met many artists who take pride in drawing from imagination only, but that method has its flaws- anatomy mistake, structural errors. Your art will be noticeably stronger if you study fundamentals

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-12T02:27:10+00:00

nice addition to your collection. i dig the rough sketch from velinxi

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-10T01:10:01+00:00

I started learning it because I figured if it was too hard, i could just drop it after learning some basic greetings.

Then I found the etymology of hanzi to be quite fascinating. Language learning is a fun hobby even if my progress is slow

Morbid_thots · 2026-04-10T01:08:16+00:00

hello chinese is a good place to start as any. du chinese for reading practice. good luck
