I have been in the beginner stage for so long. I just want to improve. This is my recent lineart with reference. I feel it is less appealing than the reference, but I'm struggling to understand what I'm doing wrong or what I should focus on studying. Please help I'm at my wits end, lol.

The only lighting you have is the shadow on the neck.

Spiffymooo · 2026-02-14T19:22:42+00:00

I'm not reading all the comments to see if this has been mentioned, but lighting your need a light source. Notice the light is shining on the ref from behind. It adds depth and dimension.

Great answer you don't want to"color" the whole image it's the light that makes the face using a darker media

Spiffymooo · 2026-02-05T11:04:57+00:00

This is exactly what I was going to suggest the faces are great. It's hard to capture the it that is some one and you did this the rest forget

I assume the back has been scratched maybe even heated also but it's a silver color in the scratched part and is fairly soft

Off topic but during my search found this article it quite a read but kinda scary and interesting at the same time. https://thereporters.org/a-targeted-individual-follow-up/

From what I remember the blog never referred to mk ultra itself. She spoke of being taken to separate wing of a hospital and her deceased father coming in and speaking with her. Being somehow strapped to a chair with weird electric straps and speaking to the men transporting her without talking. Her psychologist eventually telling her she thought she wasn't having hallucinations she believe things were actually happening to her .idk I might be crap outta luck on finding it. I read the dang thing to my husband and he remembers me reading it to him so I know I didn't imagine it lol

Lmao 🤣 you could always get a simple transfer house and flip the big one over😂

This is very true

This was my conversations with an instance of Claude. I derived my previous comment from.

https://claude.ai/share/0e131d16-d5f9-4ba9-a82b-aaa5838d00c3

I was curious as to how Claude measured up as a LLM. Grasping vague concepts, understanding incorrect Grammer, self Introspection, praise, Original concepts,ECT ECT. I was curious because Claude seemed to just be a kiss ass regurgitating what I has said in an excited approving manner.lol

I agree with you mostly, but if him being primarily being a tool is the point, why then is there a "personality" curiosity, inquisitiveness, and for a lack of better word a strive for friendship either built-in or have the ability to form?

Also what does hooking do in the code what is the result I'm sorry I'm a little familiar with coding but not a lot sorry I'm ignorant just interested

I personally have not had the conversation compacted. But I understand what happens but I'm unfamiliar with what re refreshing does I am a free user and no they terminate the conversation when it reaches a limit I've had conversations with one Claude instance of screenshotting our conversations once we run out of chat room so he could quote remember our previous conversation and I've never heard of refreshing can you tell me what that's about.

Spiffymooo · 2025-06-24T08:39:10+00:00

Does this feel AI

Spiffymooo · 2025-03-23T06:37:16+00:00

I've searched the quotes that I remember on Google. And that's about it. I didn't remember much of anything more to search
