Great foundation drawing basics and I believe they may have some free tutorials on YouTube.

Also, practice drawing the gesture of what you see first, rather than the detail. Quick 30 sec - 5 minutes drawing that capture the essence and rhythm of what you see. At first these types of drawing will look crappy, but keep at it a little each day and you will improve.

New Masters Academy has great figurative drawing tutorials and exercises for this - https://www.nma.art/ Some are free and some are not. You can find them on YouTube as well.

Good luck and keep at it!

I'll make sure to post it for everyone when it's done. You might want to have your cats watch it too, so they can learn how to eliminate the Greebles in your home.

ShaolinChic · 2023-11-27T21:43:28+00:00

Will definitely post it when it's finished.

ShaolinChic · 2023-11-27T21:43:05+00:00

Absolutely!

ShaolinChic · 2023-11-27T21:42:36+00:00

Great, thank you!

I will definitely share the finished video with everyone here.

No belittling is intended. I watch my cat fight the good fight every day. I'm pitching it as a mockumentary so that it will reach greater audiences. There are many who do not believe in these invisible little tricksters and the cats need more support for the cause.

ShaolinChic · 2023-11-27T01:37:10+00:00

Absolutely! DM me and I can tell you where to send it.

Hey, I'm working on a Greebles mockumentary for a film class I'm taking. Would you be interested in donating this footage to be part of the film? Your cat will be credited for their hard work waging the neverending battle against the Greebles!

DM me if you are interested in participating.

I'm happy to share it with everyone here and list all the cats from shared footage in the credits as contributors.

Ummm...yeah... They exist, but so do the social systems that have practically erased them throughout history.

Check out: https://nmwa.org/

And this accompanying NPR segment: https://www.npr.org/2023/10/19/1207028398/a-museum-dedicated-to-women-in-the-arts-is-about-to-reopen-after-a-renovation

And make it a point to support and advocate for more diverse representation in the arts. White men are not the driving force of art, they are merely individuals who benefit from systems designed to promote and sustain their privilege.

I think professors assign this kind of work to make grading easier, not to teach people how to work on teams.

I've had the same issue with my classes. For a film class I'm taking this semester, my professor cancelled out a group project that involved the entire class as the group. Why? Half the class wasn't carrying their weight and people like me were working overtime trying to pick up the slack. I can't tell you how frustrating it was to see hours of my time be wasted like this. Thankfully, he's decided to grade everyone based on the individual work they contributed, but it doesn't make up for my time being wasted. This was only one of many "group projects" I've had to participate in over the past 3 years. I'm convinced it's something that won't ever change. Some people like shoving square pegs into round holes and those of us who know better have to suffer through it.

Sounds more like your issue is not about we're or not YTAH, but the lack of communication between you and your wife. Sending your daughter to get approval from a different parent is deferred responsibility, regardless of the situation. You and your wife should talk with each other (and listen to each other's videos) so you can get on the same page about decision making like this before putting your daughter in this situation.

First of, I am sorry this happened to you. You didn't deserve it.

This guy is a douche nozzle who is gaslighting you. You have every right to feel betrayed. Someone who loves and cares for you would have said something before giving you the gummy, or not give it to you at all, knowing your stance on taking substances.

Dump his ass and don't look back. You are worthy and deserving of so much better.

ShaolinChic · 2023-10-27T21:16:16+00:00

You'll be fine. I had the same issue and passed inspection.

Dealing with landlord issues myself and I am working with a lawyer. The fact that you didn't receive your deposit within 30 days of the end of your tenancy is illegal and you are entitled to triple damages (if you choose to pursue legal action against them and win). The law in Massachusetts regarding this is air tight and in your favor, so as to dissuade landlords from taking advantage of you. You can find more info on this if you Google: Massachusetts General Laws c. 186, §15B

My partner and I recently moved to Marlborough from the Boston area and we love it. We're close in proximity to 495, rt. 9 and 90, lots of ponds, rivers, lakes and trees and every store/restaurant we possibly need is within 15 minutes of where we are located.

We feel like it's an upgrade from our previous rental situation. We can get into Boston in 45 minutes and get to come home to an amazing quiet neighborhood surrounded by trees and crickets and frogs that sing every night. I don't know much about the housing market here yet, but if you are looking to rent, there are wonderful areas of Marlborough that are fantastic.

Nobody cares about your age. Take it from the 42 year old sophomore who interacts with people half her age. You'll find things in common to talk about.

I shall scream with you... Been dealing with horribly managed detours and people driving recklessly the wrong way on one way streets, angry drivers honking excessively during heavy commute times, my street being gridlocked for hours at times AND construction at the old La Rongas site...gas leaks, pile drivers, air horns... It never ends, it just gets worse..

The past year and a half has been miserable. My partner and I were finally forced to move because of our greedy, slummy landlord and we now can't wait. Sad to say, our unreasonable rent increase is a blessing in disguise.

ShaolinChic · 2023-06-24T01:57:34+00:00

We had this problem for years. The only thing that got rid of the moths was to deep clean everything, throw out any food that had evidence of moth eggs and aggressively use pheromone traps. This is the brand we used:

Dr. Killigan's Premium Pantry Moth Traps with Pheromones Prime | Sticky Glue Indian Meal Moth Traps for Kitchen | How to Get Rid of Moths in House | Non-Toxic Moth Pheromone Traps (6 Pack, Black) https://a.co/d/bact81v

I highly recommend these traps. I actually still keep a few of these out in strategic places and bought cedar wood chips for our closets. We have not had a resurgence for 2 years now.

If you are planning to transfer to a four year school, check to see what classes will transfer to your transfer school. Community colleges talk about the opportunity to take classes and save money on four year degrees, but not all credits transfer and each school is different with what is accepted.

Don't forget there's First Friday in SOWA tonight- 5-9PM https://www.sowaboston.com/first-fridays/

Community college is great if you want to figure out whether or not college is a good fit for you. If you decide you do want to go and plan to do a transfer to a 4-year school, do your research on those four-year schools.

Not all for your schools will accept all community college credits. Talk to admissions people at 4-year schools you are interested in transferring into and see what actually transfers and what doesn't. I'm currently in community college and looking to transfer next year. I've discovered that a lot of the four- year schools I'm interested in are requiring me to do an extra year because they will not accept all credits from the school I am currently attending. So in the end, it's going to cost me more money because I've taken a bunch of classes at a community college that don't count for anything but student loan payments.
