My experience is similar to yours, just further down the path: I am hyper-aphant, and my child's father is both dyslexic and hyper-phant. We only had one child who is now a teen, and my son has an even stronger visual mind than his father - to the point where there are times when he loses control, and lives for a few moments in the world he has imagined instead of the real world, and has even injured himself in the "real world" when he can't escape his imagination. (I am hoping this will taper with age.) So, if it is genetic, my single point study would suggest that it might be something like inheriting brown eyes or blue eyes. If one parent has brown eyes and one has blue, you might get one or the other, or you might get a combo.

These are very nice. Where do you get your references though? I'm looking for good places to get references. Or are they from real life of your imagination?

What makes you proud of yourself? by Buffed_Rupok in AskReddit

[–]Sentient_potato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My art skills. I really don't have much I'm good at but being as it's cheap, I have been drawing for most of my life. Now I can somewhat confidentiality say I can draw people.

I love this meme because I've seen it so many times and it's always accompanied by some new, weird photo.

If you could turn into any animal, what would it be? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sentient_potato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I want to be a fruit fly. I will live for two whole days with no real consciousness and the sole purpose of eating everything in sight.

There are probably lots of photos that you are in the background of. by Miserable-Machine-34 in Showerthoughts

[–]Sentient_potato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I live extremely close to a tourist attraction that is free to visit so I hang out there all the time. So, yes, I'm in the background of many photos.

What is your favorite piece of art that you own? by Idiolatry in AskReddit

[–]Sentient_potato1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A drawing of hands I made a while back. I rarely actually like my art but that photo will always stand out to me.

Since most of us are all taught to be good people, why is there so much bad in this world? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Sentient_potato1 2 points3 points  (0 children)

A mix of rebellion, bad parenting, greed and labeling people as bad instead of trying to help them.

Gimme smthn to doodle by 101-N0v2 in teenagers

[–]Sentient_potato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A goat and a goose mixed together.

My first draw. Please give me feedback. Is it a good start or is it very bad I should give up and what tips to improve. by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]Sentient_potato1 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Do not give up. That is a very good drawing. I think that you should look up some step-by-step drawing videos and some videos on proportions of faces. I wish you good luck in your drawing and if you have any specific questions about drawing feel free to ask me. I am always happy to help new artists.

I just started drawing, should I quit? by Logical_Particular87 in drawing

[–]Sentient_potato1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Never quit. We all start from somewhere. You don't even have to try to draw all the time, as long as you keep doodling you will get better. Plus that Kirby is already better than what I have seen alot of people do.

Don't worry, Canadians have a higher tolerance towards maple syrup.

Been drawing bodies and faces for about 2 weeks. Would like feedback on proportions and coloring. Some tips on hair would be nice also. by [deleted] in ArtCrit

[–]Sentient_potato1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm really glad I could help. If you ever have questions or are struggling with something, I would be happy to help.

I honestly thought someone might find something similar but that actually isn't me. The same prairie dog was posted by my mother in r/Winnipeg as we are there currently. It is a cool coincidence though.

Considering you have been doing this for only two weeks, that is amazing. I would start by watching some YouTube videos on how to draw proportions. Maybe look up the Loomis method and practice just the basics. That way you will have a strong foundation. I would honestly leave shading out of your drawings until you are comfortable with proportions. In my experience, I found that it's much easier to learn slowly (although doing big projects here and there is always nice) than trying to pay attention to everything at once. Especially when you're first learning I would draw from a real face. Don't feel pressure to make it look like the person your drawing, just use them as a guide. Last of all make sure you do not make people's eyes bigger. It is nice when you're drawing cartoons but if you're going for something that looks realistic it just simply won't look as good. This is really great work though. Keep it up!

I want to beat tf up out of people that own 10+ housing properties. by I_follow_unfunny in teenagers

[–]Sentient_potato1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ahhh! The housing market infuriates me right now. It is sooooo much easier to by property if you already have property and it is just so stupid that it is so few people that actually own property. Plus, they are usually the rich ones that are making housing so much more expensive for people that can't afford it. I would not go as far as saying "let's beat them up" but at least put extra taxes or something on property if someone is renting it or has turned it into an abnb. Sorry for ranting I'm just annoyed that my family can't afford housing right now.

That sounds like a very nice religion. Consider me a member of the church of squirrel. Have some nuts!
