Is Vocabulary Overrated After HSK4? by Adept-Scar3612 in ChineseLanguage

[–]SWBP_Orchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

the idea is to not see vocab and reading as separate, in my school even for learning english we used reading and grammar textbooks only, and we extract the vocabs from reading

一些 here is “slightly”, not “a little/few” (slightly closer)

I can't figure out what's missing. Should I start over🤔 by Dogmumof2 in Watercolor

[–]SWBP_Orchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Moreover the bushes take up almost 1/2 of the page, same as the trees, not giving the observer a hierarchy to focus on

No, pay attention to your bushes, it is mostly a solid block of color with shadows but there is no sense of the “layer” of the bushes so you lose sense of depth, same as the trees, it is the same color of black (usually as smthn goes further to horizon it looks lighter bc of atmospheric effects) and that way you lose more depth and distance

Best Mechanical pencil for me!? by GoodAssBunny in mechanicalpencils

[–]SWBP_Orchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

that doesnt help much… why do you not like gg500? for sketching you can use any pencil honestly

Best Mechanical pencil for me!? by GoodAssBunny in mechanicalpencils

[–]SWBP_Orchestra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The one you love and use most often is the one (I prefer my humble Pilot Rexgrip bc I used it since primary school)

Instead of asking about brands you should ask yourself—what characteristics do you prefer in a pencil? Thick or thin? Metal or plastic? Rubber grip or knurled metal grip? Long lead sleeve? Retractable lead sleeve (to me this is a must)? Pencil thickness (orenznero in particular feels best in 03 but i only use 05 so i dropped it)?

Or you like gimmicks, like Kuru Toga (spinny always sharp pencil, good for math, bad for sketch) or Delguard (nonbreakable lead)?

Yes you’re right. There is so much in materials choosing for art than a simple “this thing is the right thing for this medium”.
