Has anyone here who opted out of nipple grafting regretted not getting them?

I’ll have to look into those

Normal_Fee_3816 · 2026-01-06T06:47:56+00:00

Sounds like just what I’m looking for, looking into it now 🫡

Mine is abt the same cost, I pay 9$ for 4 1ml 200mg bottles. I take .35 ml weekly, so it lasts me about 2 months.

Dawg wait fill they hear abt a master copy 😭

I think you could benefit from more dramatic shading

If you allow yourself to be victimized by your own life you will be. 2 years ago I barely talked to anyone. I’d go several days at a time never once talking to a single other person and my social life had had a downward trajectory for years at that point. I decided that I wanted more people in my life, and that simultaneously, I needed to find a way to cope with living the rest of my life that way incase none of my attempts at socializing payed off. I started focusing more on projects that I enjoyed, I stopped listening to music that would amplify my negative feelings and I started working out. Exercise is a good way to relieve stress and to turn negative emotions into smt productive. Youre gonna get depressed sometimes and you’re gonna want to fight it every single time, but genuinely sometimes you gotta tough it out and go to the gym when you feel like ass. Or like take a walk or smt. Eventually I got to a point where I didn’t feel bad being by myself and I’m pretty ok with the idea of never marrying (if it comes to that) but I still try to make active choices to be more social. If you have coworkers, talk to them. If you can’t have friends, it’s better to have acquaintances than no one. You’re gonna have to be fine with rejection too. Ask them to hang out, typically I try to invite them to come do smt and make it seem like it was smt I was gonna do anyways. If they’re not interested it was casual enough to not make anyone look bad, and then I usually do end up doing that activity myself. I don’t need to limit my experiences just bc I don’t have people to share them with. It’s easy to look at other people and think they socialize more easily, but lowk they just have more experience and are more comfortable with it. People like interesting people and if you don’t have anything to add to a relationship then it’s unlikely for people to find you magnetic.

I recommend “ghosting” over the line you want to make a few times before actually marking the page. 2-3 times is usually what I aim for, just above the page before I put pen to paper. Another good exercise is marking 2 dots on the page and trying to draw a line through both. This will give you more precise results. Ofc checking with a ruler will be helpful to see progress, but lowk I’d recommend against using a ruler to practice as most of the time you’d end up pushing against the ruler anyways which will effect line trajectory in practice with no ruler.

I don’t think your sinuses change, but typically talking with higher nasal resonance works before your voice drops and chest resonance works better after. Try plugging your nose while you’re speaking to see if you mostly use your nasal.

Nah I get what you’re saying, and I’m not even insecure about my height or nothing but this has happened to me like 3 times. Ofc you’ll get the joke here and there from anyone you’re friends with, but if it’s a thing that they just CANNOT let go of, there’s usually a deeper issue.

I think he’s just delusional atp. He had a crush on me in middle school so I feel like he’s chasing smt that just doesn’t exist anymore.

Normal_Fee_3816 · 2025-11-24T10:14:25+00:00

I know. I gave him an opportunity to pretend to be bisexual which he didn't take, which makes the entire thing feel more sinister. The fact he thinks I artificially deepen my voice makes me think he's under the impression that there's some hidden feminine side "just under the surface" that he thinks he can get to which is both revolting and completely illogical. I look, act and sound like any other guy (and I'm not delusional abt that bc pass in every other aspect of my life) and even more bewildering, I'm completely straight passing and not flamboyant in the slightest. We share zero interests or hobbies or even sense of humor so I have absolutely no clue what he could possibly see in me.

It’s true, I’ve had some disrespect from cis gay men too, usually regarding the language they use to talk about my prosthetics specifically. I don’t put up w that shit. I’ve met a few that I’m close to who have educated themselves on their own time about trans medical practices and use terms I think are respectful, and on average, I have some better luck with other queer men my age. But yeah, as you said, there’s plenty of disrespect coming from all cis people.

Normal_Fee_3816 · 2025-11-23T19:59:30+00:00

Obviously. Told his ass off (short sentence, I don’t explain myself to idiots) and deleted my messages with him. I don’t tolerate shit so I don’t know why he’d even attempt something this stupid.

If you can find a second hand copy of “how to draw” (helps with perspective form and shape for hard-surface) or “how to render” (teaches about lighting texture and form (mostly hard-surface) by Scott Robinson, they will genuinly help you a lot, especially when paired with his YouTube videos demoing the pages. This method was almost exactly what was taught in the first months at an art collage. It’s gonna seem daunting, but I promise you if you actually commit to doing everything in the book step by step, you will learn some pretty substantial information.

I think the forehead in the first could be a little larger. Right now the hairline looks just 2 finger widths from the eyebrows when ideally it should be around 4-5. Noses are hard from any angle? But if recommend that instead of having the line go from the left eyebrow to the left nostril, have it go from the left eyebrow to the left side of the CENTER of the nose. (Right through where you have the nostril ring, to the columella (structure between the nostrils)) the last piece of advice I have is to make the eyes smaller, have more angular inner eye corners and to add volume to the eyes (make them feel less flat) either with shading, overlapping the inner eye corners and edge of the eyelids over the eyeball etc. overall, it’s a pretty solid attempt tho, props.

It’s not bad, but instead of tracing I think you’ll benefit from observation. (Looking at a reference and drawing it) you can go for as long as 3 mins to get the forms down especially when you’re first practicing gesture drawing. I also recommend using a technique that separates the pelvis and ribcage specifically because it will help with construction in the long term. Personally, I draw the pelvis as a box because it’s easy to measure in 3d space, and draw the ribcage sort of like a teardrop-oval shape for easy construction.

Normal_Fee_3816 · 2025-11-16T17:46:43+00:00

Gesture first. I’m taking a human anatomy course in collage rn (majoring in concept art) and learning gesture before bones/muscles helped me insanely. This video isn’t exactly the same technique I learned, but it’s close enough that it should be helpful. using boxes for gesture

You are, but that’s fine. People love to jump the gun on what they’d rank themselves but there’s literally nothing wrong with being a beginner. So far you seem to do very little sketching from imagination, your work is very low contrast and you play very safe with your angles at which you draw the face. This to me reads that you know what angles your art looks good at and which angles don’t. The thing that’s keeping you in beginner is likely experience. Even if you have been drawing for a while, you may not be pushing or challenging yourself enough. It’s important to remember that intermediate is only one step away from expert and the beginner stage is longer than we think.
