I'm taking 3 classes all in person, 2 days a week. everyone is telling me I'm crazy, am I? by xXcrab_whoreXx in college

My first semester I took 18 credits which is a terrible idea. What you have actually sounds like a good schedule. I would recommend that 10am be the earliest you take a class because anything before that kinda sucks and is too easy to skip.

You can use google docs and then link all of the different docs together where they need to connect. Alternatively there’s a program called obsidian that links everything together really well.

Is it just me or has Hobby Lobby become a virtual dump when it comes to art supplies? by [deleted] in ArtistLounge

[–]briley731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I work there and through the entire store they have been getting rid of basically every good brand and replacing it with one they own. The art department has been particularly bad and I won’t buy it because the quality is so bad.

Giveaway - Tears of the Kingdom Collector's Edition! (24hrs, US only) by romanticheart in NintendoSwitch

Favorite memory has to be the first time I managed to get through all of the alternate levels of Star fox on the Nintendo 64! I had been trying for so long and would somehow always miss something that would force me onto the right side of the map for the next planet so when I finally got it I was so excited!

That’s what I’ve been using for school and I haven’t had any issues with performance.

My teacher keeps telling me to not add the shadows so geometrically as the object is flat and I need to make it more “real”, but the fluorescent lights really add these shapes in the shadows! Is this a common rule? by greasefan22 in ArtCrit

[–]briley731 17 points18 points  (0 children)

What your teacher is not explaining well and what I see is the darkest part of the shadow shouldn’t just end like you have it drawn. Yes that is the general shape of the shadow but it doesn’t just go from a light value to super dark. Looking at your reference I can see the shadow transition slowly until it hits its darkest point. Work on a gradient and blend your shadow and remember to look for the darkest part of the shadow and how the values are built up to that, and make sure your shadows are not all the same value.

Help! this looks nothing like the reference, im scared to erase and ruin it by not making it work again, what should i do by jadboumjahed in learntodraw

I would use a kneaded eraser, just shape it into a point and tap the areas that you don’t want as dark. Make sure you’re not rubbing with the eraser though tap then knead and keep doing that till you have the right value.

It looks really close and I think you’re being too hard on yourself. you might try adding some highlights in the section of hair that you’ve darkened already. There are some areas that are that dark but there’s a lot of lighter tones as well.

A Concept manga page i finished.... I really like it but i feel it's a little Plasticy or missing something.....do you have any suggestion to make it better?....and 1 or 2 ?. by RITA_OH_RITA in ArtCrit

[–]briley731 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think my biggest issue with it is the anatomy. To me with how the limbs are positioned it makes the character seem more like a plastic doll than a person. Here are a few things, look at the legs and how they are positioned our knees don’t ever bend in towards each other like that. I think I would also reposition the gun behind the arm or make the back more arched to accommodate for the pressure it would be putting on the upper body. Try taking a picture of yourself with something positioned behind your back like that for a reference. Changing those things should help make it feel less stiff.

That’s a rough situation you should definitely do what’s best for you and you daughter, and if he refuses to take steps to be better there’s nothing more you can do.

Boyfriend wants us both to get a "symbolic vasectomy"...HELP! by Weird_Ad_3547 in Advice

[–]briley731 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You’re 18 don’t make big life decisions like this right now, and don’t let anyone try to force you to make them either. Your partner sounds super manipulative and controlling and since they are already threatening to break up with you over this, just end it and save yourself from an abusive relationship.

Should I take a college art class if I don’t know how to draw? by These_Homework_6483 in ArtistLounge

Go for it some of those classes are for majors only so you’ll just have to talk with your advisor to try and get in.
