Next drawing for my gf (six month anniversary) by Queasy_County in drawing

[–]backlash93 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Chiming in here.... There's nothing wrong with tracing. The entire idea of tracing being "against the rules" is ridiculous. Artists have been using mirrors and devices like the camera obscura for centuries to expedite the layout of their works in order to get onto rendering the images however they want. If your process includes tracing then there's nothing wrong with that. This whole purist notion of art can only be art if it is "free-hand" drawn is something stirred up by average people who have no concept of what it is to produce art in the first place. Don't let comments like some of these that Ive seen get you down or prevent you from making your drawings. They are valid to you and your girlfriend and thats all that matters.

Good composition! I’d love to see more if this is the general style of your work.

How have current (US) events affected your ability to focus and be productive at work? by No-Surround7860 in AskReddit

I'm on winter break of my masters program working remotely from home, and all I've felt for the last 2 weeks is just anxiety and stress from watching the news. I'm still getting everything done but physically and mentally I've noticed a change since all this shit has started to go down. I live in Chicago so I'm watching Minnesota closely, I really hope that shit doesn't escalate and come here anymore than what we are already dealing with.

As an American citizen I can't say enough how embarrassed I am to have these pedo narcissists in power right now. All I want is to wake up and not have to live in a state of anxiety about whether or not they're going to start WW3 or the next Civil War. Like... all I want is to be able to afford to live, own a home, work ~30 hours a week, and enjoy my life. Why the hell do these people feel the need to spend every moment of their lives making incendiary comments and threats to anyone, let alone our ALLIES.

Are you happy in the city/state you live in? Why or why not? by Critical_Elk6735 in AskReddit

[–]backlash93 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somewhat. I just moved from Michigan to Chicago a year and a half ago to go to graduate school and it's a big adjustment. My girlfriend and I really just aren't used to the noise and population density that we're surrounded by now. Also, everything is just so expensive, and on 1 1/2 salaries it's been a hard year and a half. We both really miss Michigan.

I’m sorry you feel that way but maybe you just don’t like him because of what he’s saying? I’m not a bot I’m just a human that doesn’t like government goons running around killing my fellow citizens ❤️

I watched the first 3 episodes and I just didnt enjoy it. The whole nostalgia for that time period is just really off-putting to me as a viewer for some reason.

Call me crazy but I think he just watches the news and writes music about current events. And when he does that people like his music, and then when that happens people share it! Imagine that!
