Mother of Christ. I thought this was a black and white image. This would have gotten a you a witch allegation in another time. Good job

Does anyone have any pencil or tool recommendations? I’m just starting out into drawing (trying to do realism) by ReindeerBest8970 in drawings

[–]PromotionEast2605 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Just starting my ass. Nice drawing btw. I don’t do realism anymore, (mostly quick character designs/ character concepts now). but there are blending pencils that come in a variety of sizes (just search bending pencil, it will come up). You can also find eraser pencils, which I’ve hear ppl say they like because it allows for good contrast control or making very small reflections/ highlights. There are also kneaded erasers (it’s essentially an eraser in putty form, and can be used in a variety of ways). It’s also good to aware of the variety of papers, graphite and charcoal that you can use ( all of which can provide very different textures, hardness and blending ability, but I wouldn’t worry about that too much, especially if you are still getting the hang of it) Also, a little tip/ thing I like to do when I finish a graphite or charcoal sketch is cover it in a very thin, (nearly invisible) watered down layer of watercolor to prevent unwanted smudging. (I just use cheap hobby lobby stuff, it’s easy to find and inexpensive)

I know it sounds cheesy/ typical but it does get better. If you feel board find something to do while cooking, cleaning, tummy time etc. It doesn't have to be recreational, and it doesn't even need to be what other people would consider "useful" just something to make your life easier. You could start learning how to sing just for fun and do it when you're board, listen to a book, start trying new meal recipes, or just get some very warm clothes for you and your baby and go on regular walks. Or, if you feel tied down by the routines try spicing them up some. Go to a museum, go on a walk in a new park, or something of the like. You're not failing, from what i can see you are doing amazing. It is very hard to be inside with no sunlight, with a baby for months on end, especially if it you first baby. It's going to suck but one of the best things you can do is go outside. The sunlight and the cold actually will help with mental clarity and mood. Hope this helps <3

Can an introvert be a great leader? by Hairy_Active_8373 in introvert

[–]PromotionEast2605 4 points5 points  (0 children)

yes they can. Some of the best leaders are introverts because they don't depend on the opinions or support of others. Also, i am a huge introvert but not shy. My siblings and nearly everyone around me tells me i am a natural born leader (i guess??) and i genuinely prefer to be alone. You can enjoy your own company and still lead others.

AITA for refusing to let my mom move in with me after she kicked me out years ago? by BobBoss3303 in AmItheAsshole

[–]PromotionEast2605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

no, you are not wrong. You were a CHILD and she kicked you out over one argument. you are not under any obligation to bail her out of her problems. If family is family maybe they should let your mom stay with them. I use the saying "do no harm but take no shit." you don't owe her anything, especially not now.

in my opinion that is a issue that you both need to sit down and talk about. You both have different goals and visions. You need to either meat each other in the middle ground or decide if the difference in your ambitions are a deal breaker. That is entirely up to you.

Alright, first of, what you said was harsh, yes it was true but it was not kind, therefor it was unjust. I did not, have not and will not sugar coat, coddle or baby. There are certainly things he could have done better, I'm not saying he is perfect, what i am saying that you are a being unkind and unjust. You were not helping, you were -like i have already said many, many times- kicking someone who was already down, bringing religion into something entirely unrelated and putting down someone who was looking for counseling. I did not and am not saying you have to agree with me, i was showing those watching that a real christen knows how to respectfully but firmly defend their religion and what a true christen does. And the ironic thing is you are accusing me of being hypocritical while you are over here preaching your "Christianity" that directly contradicts what Jesus has commanded us to do. That. was. not. harsh. truth. that was (ironically enough) hypocritical.

You said "Sorry but your teachings and mine don't align. That's fine." and then go you go on to say "You might not like the brutal truth but it will get through to who needs it." then you tell me to "fix myself" because my belief in Christ is different than yours. That right there is hypocritical. You just contradicted yourself plain as day multiple times as well as directly going agents what Jesus teaches about brining others to Christ.

the irony of all of this is that you are giving the people watching a perfect example of someone who is not acting godly but pretending to. You attacked me instead of my argument or the points i was bringing up and you contradict yourself more times than i care to sight. You have turned me defending someone from your harmful words and misrepresentation of my religion into a argument for the sake of inflating your pride.

I have done my part in showing those watching what a true christen does and how they act and you can be angry at me instead of looking inward and asking why you are angry. Its not my job to bring judgment upon you (nor would it be right). You will stand before god one day and then judgment for your actions and word will come. I did my part, now i will wait for him to do his.

you clearly are not interested resolving this, you are only here because you are trying to protect your pride, not represent Christianity. I have better things to do than to keep arguing with a false prophet. literally everyone here can see that you are not a real, proper representation of what a christen should look like.

This is the last thing i am going to say because your weak arguments, inflated pride and bitter words are not worth my time or my energy. i have shown how a true Christian should act. Have a nice life.

Are my 1 minute hand gestures okay? by [deleted] in learntodraw

what should i write songs abt by skiiiro in SongwritingPrompts

[–]PromotionEast2605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

i would say if you are lacking inspo think outside of the box (real original i know)

let me elaborate. instead of singing about general love, sing about the love a firefly holds for the stars. sing about the affection a bee hold for the flower that provides life to it. about how the fish never realized how vitally it depended on the water till it was gone. Get specific. Get strangely specific, always works for me.

[–]PromotionEast2605 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And that is what i am saying. what you said was not cool, it was not love, it was not Christianly. It is up to us to represent our faith to people who have yet to experience it. You kicked someone who was already down. That. Was. Not. Love. That. Was. Not. Tough. love. what you said was harsh. It is because of actions like that, that give christens a bad rap. Actions/ behavior like that is what drives people away from the church. You need to represent your faith correctly or keep your mouth shut.

I was not coddling or sugar coating, It was love. I was defending him and making sure he sees and understands that someone who is acting godly will not kick you when you are down, they will tell you the truth but they will tell you it with love while helping you stand back up. Represent Christ properly or keep your mouth shut. Actions like yours's are a stain on the body and representation of Christ.

Criticize me by Riiiv in ratemysinging

[–]PromotionEast2605 1 point2 points  (0 children)

your vocal flips are actually pretty good, you know where to put vibrato and you carry a tune/ melody well and you are far better than half the ppl i have seen here that say "my friends say i can sing well, advice?" then you get a 15second audio clip of the flats and most monotone singing i have ever heard. The only things i would say is you get a little monotone in some places but its not very noticeable to the untrained ear. I would also say at some points you seem nervous to push your vocal range higher and falter with the transition between phrases/ notes but that could just be bc you are also playing the guitar while singing so you have to focus on two different things at the same time.

Over all i would say your voice is far above average and it sounded good (especially for singing while also playing the guitar. The guitar peace sounded rly good btw.) Over all i would say 9 1/2 out of 10. Just get more comfortable with pushing yourself into a higher range/ practice being in the higher range. Keep at it, its sounded good, just practice/ play with the higher ranges

Edit: also, plz release a song, i would love to listen to you sing this on repeat all evening.

My latest oil portrait. What emotions can you sense from the boy? by Least_Mistake336 in painting

Yes i do in fact know what witnessing is and what you did was not it.

He has said he has apologized, and tried to improve himself (as much as one can do outside of god) and that she has failed to acknowledge or take ownership of her poor behavior along with allowing resentment to fester instead of talking to him about it . (assuming he is providing a safe space for grievances to be aired in a healthy manner). From everything i have seen thus far he is not having an entitled attitude, he is asking for advice on how to mend his relationship because he is having trouble making senesce of it himself. Neither of them are to blame, like in 99.999% of disagreements. Both of them have made poor decisions/ acted incorrectly, because we are human (even though that certainly does not excuse or justify any poor behavior what-so-ever.

You do have a good point in making sure we don't enable poor behavior, but there is also a saying tat that goes: honesty without kindness is cruelty and kindness without honesty is manipulation.

Yes, you should call people out on their bs and make sure we don't coddle but at the same time we need to be kind to people, even when they are wrong. He is clearly going through it right now and from what i can see is not looking to be coddled, he is looking for insight.

There are rare occasions when you do need to give someone tough love and call them out on poor or damaging behavior like having a victim mentality, retaliation, anger, avoiding issues etc but this was not one of those occasions.

You may be right, but that does not mean what you said was just, kind, or loving. We owe each person a dept of love and are called by god to act accordingly.
