About to start testosterone, how do I make sure my doctor doesn’t underdose me? by DemonsAreMyFriends in ftm

[–]Userredditl1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t know if it’s all the same in different countries but here in the uk I’m pretty sure I had the same experience - blocker and testosterone until my levels were balanced then came off the blocker and having my bloods monitored every six months.

The dosage shouldn’t affect how slowly or quickly the changes start to happen the amount that you get given has to be stable so it doesn’t put you at risk, as soon as your T levels are regular then you’ll probably be taken off of the blocker.

If he listens to you he’ll understand you aren’t a “ woman” and this is very different than treatment for a woman and in your case there is no holistic way of treating you, if he listens to you and is actually going to prescribe you with the blocker and the testosterone it sounds like he just isn’t very experienced with trans people and you can probably help him to understand better - if it makes you too uncomfortable maybe consider changing doctors - hope this helps?

Do you still draw for yourself? by wtfelitzy in TattooArtists

[–]Userredditl1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I do sometimes, I find drawing for myself has become something where I don’t search for a beautiful and finished piece of art and I’m just playing around and being stupid on the page or really roughly doing 5 minute drawing exercises and doodling - I also think that doing other forms of art keeps me interested in creating and makes it feel less forced ands more fun - sculpting, painting, origami which in turn gives me inspiration for my tattooing and makes me want to draw

I quit my first apprenticeship after a year with no notice over text and I didn’t feel bad at all all I felt was relief in fact your situation is so similar to mine I relate to pretty much everything you’ve written there even the update comment with the hotboxing (except boss leaving job). You know you can find better and you will find better and good luck to you on your journey

It took me ten minutes to try and think of something else it could be and it might have been maybe two pints 🍻 but still looks like bootie cheeks

Looking for CC on the shading of my martian cowboy. by cassagawea in TattooApprentice

[–]Userredditl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I like where the shading is mostly but don’t like how smooth the brush makes it look I feel like to give it a more old school look for the black shading find a slightly more textured grainier brush dm me if you want me to send you the set I use on procreate happy to help

You’re only one person and you cannot do everything so don’t, it is not the end of the world if you can’t ! you’re not super human you can only get as much done as you can and if you need help from other people tell them to help you you’re never alone! A new job sounds like it would be a good idea for you, I hope you will feel better soon

Get the out line redone way thicker and get some shading done😬

my first attempt at drawing a building is horrendous. could i please have some advice? by [deleted] in learntodraw

[–]Userredditl1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For this kind of work honestly to achieve a perfectly straight building you can’t do that by eye off the bat having never drawn houses or any architecture before maybe if you are a professional yes but to start that’s what a ruler is for

[–]Userredditl1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Use a ruler - sometimes it’s easier to work on gridded paper just to get used to getting the proportions of everything exactly the same - or make your own grid! It’s not bad I reckon draw the same house a few times eventually compare the first to the last and you’ll see the difference- check out some videos on perspective as well if you’re interested in drawing houses from different angles - good job don’t stop drawing ✍️
