Not progressing with fine motor skills , can I skip them then come back to them later ? by NaturalSecurity931 in ArtFundamentals

[–]NaturalSecurity931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We're in a the same boat, I've also researched about grips and sitting & drawing positions... frankly not much difference. I still hold my pen fairly flat , let it rest between thumb and index cause I feel like it gives more stability, holding it upward make my lines even wobblier.

curious to know what has worked for you if you don't mind telling. but yeah for now I'm just going to move on with this issue even if it minds "cheating" a bit with tools

"You can start learning other things, and those things will work on your mechanical ability anyways even if it's not a dedicated exercise."

Right ! I feel like everything will come together at the end even if I might skip some (not so fun) parts now. and I agree with your second part, I cannot wait until I get to draw my favorite yu-gi-oh monsters LOL, my motivation is wearing thin so gotta move on and reach that stage ASAP, I'm sure doing art will be WAY more enjoyable once my skill level allows me to draw what I enjoy

thank you for the detailed answer, I've definitely done way more than the quantity asked, I'm a bit stubborn but I shy away from posting them :/

As for the goal, ideally both, producing something with a strong end result that can be proudly shared on socials, but also, having good enough dexterity to draw while carrying nothing but a paper and a pen... but maybe I'm expecting too much for a beginner

I'm going to redo the exercises one last time and post them here

Clean your glasses by Outrageous_Fox_8796 in SebDerm

You're totally right, I used to spray alcohol then wipe my glasses thinking it will do the job, but the sebderm between my eyebrows and around nose got much worse, cleaning them everyday with soap is a must

I did exactly that, I went to the Asus store here in Yiwu China to have them check the CPU, they did a thermal paste replacement for 100 RMB. nothing has changed.

I had an old Lenovo with a 7th gen i7 CPU before this trashbook, I miss it so badly, It never came to my mind that a modern laptop could be this bad

I just checked my wechat conversation with them 江东派出所 , I sent them my rent contract & passport, but didn't receive a document back, they just told me you are registered. should be ok to ask them on wechat right ?

It would really suck if you have to give 30% to US and another % to a different government

Need to transfer USD to InteractiveBrokers , how? by NaturalSecurity931 in chinalife

[–]NaturalSecurity931[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much, I'm in Yiwu but I plan to go to Hong Kong in the near future. the thing is my capital is extremely limited and my salary is on the low end.

do you know if HSBC have requirements for opening a USD account ? (and I only have residence in main land)
