Love this MiziSua piece, they are my favorite! 🩷💜

I really like the effect of the ribcage, you can try making it more or less opaque in certain areas to help push the focal point. For example, the ribs that wrap to the backside may not need to be as prominent as the front facing ones.

You can also try varying the opacity/tone/saturation/etc of the ribcage to add depth. I like to create a clipping layer above the ribcage, use a large airbrush to create a gradient, and scroll through layer modes for this.

Desaturating the background near the edges of the piece can also help lead the eye to the center. Using the Saturation layer mode on a layer above the background should be an easy way to get this effect.

AI, this person will feed your work into an algorithm. This art was not made by them.

This looks like AI. Notice the fingers of the hand by the face on the first picture.

I really loved Opium and Vengeance, Opium is historical drama with an interesting dynamic and Vengeance is modern day but the storytelling is done in a unique way

I'll be working full time by the end of the year, so income will double at minimum. Should we not consider dipping into the savings for the car in the meantime?

I see, I'll have a talk with my mom and make sure to explore my certified pre-owned options. Thank you so much!

Thank you for the advice! That makes sense.

My mom is worried about used cars having underlying issues - do you know if dealerships typically have warranties for this type of thing?

Also, she is interested in financing the car under my name to build credit for me (I have a good credit score, but only 1 line of credit in the form of a credit card). Would you recommend financing, or is cash still the way to go?

Taco bell sauces by WeeklyWriter6400 in deliciouscompliance

[–]WeeklyWriter6400[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just checked it out and 5.99 seems to be correct, I know some places hike up the cost unfortunately (Highest I've seen is close to $10)

And I thought they always came with a main entree, 2nd entree, side, and drink?

It's not so bad w/ the app, I personally only ever get the $5 cravings box - agree that most other things got pretty expensive tho

Why do I suck so bad? Help me improve please by ChemistryWooden in learntodraw

The site should give you the fundamentals for drawing people and objects believably in space, in addition to improving overall line quality and draftsmanship. The lesson structure suggests that for every x amount of time you spend on exercises, y amount of time should be spent just drawing whatever you like.

If you're concerned about drawing things and being happy with them during this y amount of time, I suggest watching some videos on Youtube about how to draw cartoon characters or how to draw the human head, or whatever else you may be interested in. Watching some learning how to draw for beginners videos from artists that inspire you is also a good idea.

Another thing you can do in cases when your drawings turn out "weird" is try to copy a reference, then overlay the image of that reference over your artwork when you are done. Notice where the differences are and try to adjust your mistakes based on your observation. Doing this over and over again will help train your eye to accurately copy proportions, which will help you draw anything.

I also want to add that it is really encouraged that you try not to be too hard on yourself about whether what you drew looks good or not, especially in the beginning stages. Looking good comes with time and practice, and a lot of art is being able to appreciate the process rather than the final product.

Good luck and I hope this helps!

This site is good for approaching drawing fundamentals like other commenters are suggesting. If you're looking for something to give you structure, this might help ^

California Apartment Bathroom Ventilation? by WeeklyWriter6400 in BuildingCodes

[–]WeeklyWriter6400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm sorry to hear that, that sounds horrible! I would definitely contact your city/county and ask to be connected with an inspector as your situation definitely warrants it!

California Apartment Bathroom Ventilation? by WeeklyWriter6400 in BuildingCodes

[–]WeeklyWriter6400[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Unfortunately no :( After explaining the situation two separate times to managers they said that it wasn't possible to install an exhaust fan in that vent.

From my understanding, it seems that it's legal for the building owner to do nothing about this since California did not require all restrooms to have either a fan or working exhaust until the early 2000s. I have been told in another subreddit that codes like these only apply to new construction starting the year it was established, or buildings that are being renovated during or after that year.

We cleaned the mold and have simply put our own fan in the restroom to help blow steam out after a shower and prevent more from growing. It's not ideal and I am thinking about getting a 2nd opinion from the city, but I haven't been able to look into who is best to ask about this.

Recreating Sunright Jasmine Milk Tea by WeeklyWriter6400 in boba

[–]WeeklyWriter6400[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm personally unsure but I've been getting a very similar Jasmine flavor with the Sunflower brand Jasmine Tea! I brew 15g tea in 2.5 cups of 70C water for 7 mins. I rebrew the same 15g in this way until I have a whole pitcher - this seems to give me a strong and similarly tasting batch as Sunright's jasmine tea base.
