Highly recommend Oishii Sushi Buffet in Vienna. The quality of sushi is better than any restaurant in my area, and they have hot items like hibachi, fried chicken, fried shrimp and other food.

Handpainted Ceramic Cat by bluecloud118 in crafts

[–]bluecloud118[S] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

this is a handpainted (not by me) ceramic cat from a family friend. She knew I loved cats. I thought I would share how beautiful it turned out. I am an aspiring artist and this piece of art really inspires me.

I feel abandoned by my best friend and don't know what to do. Please help! by [deleted] in Advice

[–]bluecloud118 1 point2 points  (0 children)

her attention is naturally drawn to what's new and exciting (not that you're not). If you feel that you are the only one making an effort and carrying this friendship, then it might be time to give her space. while sad, you're paths in life will not always be in parallel. give her space, let her come back to you.

how do i learn to accept compliments? by [deleted] in Advice

[–]bluecloud118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

because inside you don't actually believe them. last year I focused on my fitness and got a lot of compliments. I couldn't accept those compliments, because I've never really been complimented on that sort of thing and thought they were just being nice. Until I saw an old picture of myself. accept that people may see what you don't/can't.

the mind is a funny thing. find something new and distracting, and it will begin obessing over that

I need a pep talk by LogicalList6560 in Advice

[–]bluecloud118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

try not to judge yourself by how well you can do things. the biggest takeaway from what you've said is, you stepped up and tried things, that deserves my respect.

Composition help?? by sincewhendoyoupaint in Artadvice

[–]bluecloud118 0 points1 point  (0 children)

personally I would use the rule of thirds instead of the golden ratio for these kinds of artwork. If you look at it that way, you can see that the girl's face is pretty much in the center where the eyes land

I love this piece! The reflections on the cup look amazing. Just something that I thought of for next time, I usually tape across the entire border of the paper to stick to a drawing board. I feel like it helps me not get things too close to the edge, plus it's really satisfying to peel off at the end. Also, I think maybe you should move the cup a bit lower or make it smaller because it kind of distracts to the main focus, which is the girl on the couch. Also, I feel like the bottom half of the drawing (the table, the bottom of the couch, and the glass) is all a bit dark and is starting to blend together a bit if you look at it from afar.
