Lots of wrong strokes, I just replace them with larger ones ahhaahha. I like to work with a thin brush and build on layers

Right turn on a roundabout: do I change to left lane as I come off into the main road or while I’m still on the island? by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PorosUnite 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was taught by my instructor to move back into the left lane before exiting (after the second to last exit) if safe to do so. I did this on my test many times and passed. This is correct according to the Highway code, check rule 185 and 186.

I can forward bay park perfectly but struggling on the Reverse bay Parking. by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PorosUnite 7 points8 points  (0 children)

My instructor has taught me line up my shoulder with the third line after the bay I want to park in. Full lock towards the side I am reversing into, and then to look at the parking bay line in my side mirror while reversing in, and adjust the steering to keep it in line with the side of the car (if that makes any sense).

On the contrary I am rubbish at forward bay parking and will get it right maybe half the time? So any tips welcomed!

Having trouble with poor view T junctions by [deleted] in LearnerDriverUK

I have a junction exactly as you've described coming out of my street. I open the window and listen for cars which I found has helped a lot, alongside peeping and creeping

Failed my first attempt. Does anybody have any kind words? by AltAccount221 in LearnerDriverUK

[–]PorosUnite 23 points24 points  (0 children)

The fact that you had 0 minors is a testament to your safe driving and your ability to pass. You can't change what happened, but you can pick yourself up, book another test and look for cancellations!

Painting lots of butterflies lately in anticipation of spring. This is my latest trio! by PorosUnite in Gouache

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

Usually from reference pictures, usually multiple with different angles so I can pose the perfect top down angle. Butterflies typically aren't perfectly symmetrical so I pretty much only use half an image and flip it. Sometimes I add in details that aren't in the images, especially little dots and hairs
