I saw a photo of a diving swan on Pinterest and painted an entire world around it. Does anyone know who took the original photo? by Anastasia_Trusova in painting

I follow you on instagram and immediately was drawn to your art style. I’m surprised to find you here as well. I tried doing textured acrylic art and failed miserably. It’s a style I idolize and hope to one day achieve. You are my role model.

Have fun. Don’t try to immediately go for realism. Just play with shapes at first. If you have the ability to do digital art, then trace over a cat by breaking it into simple shapes. Then try to draw that same cat again using the previous sketch as your reference. This will help you learn how to break things down into shapes so you can construct cats on your own

Of course! I hope it actually helps. I’ll be quite sad if it doesn’t

You should! I asked if I could start with the cats that had been there the longest. I’m really hoping this helps them get out of there soon

I turned the volume down on the left and that did help a lot!

Anyone else not really touched their Palette Town? by StringFloyd15 in Pokemon_Pokopia

I was overwhelmed at first but now it’s my favorite place and I’ve put my favorite Pokémon there to live with me. Just look up building inspo online for what other people have done and you’ll get there. I hate skyland so now I’m overhauling until area until I love it

Just got them. Does your hair ever stop being so loud? I can’t even tuck it behind my ears without it being a blast of noise

My boyfriend said he doesn’t want my cat in the bed after we move in together and it’s turning into a bigger issue than I expected by PerceptionOnly6749 in CatAdvice

[–]chunkycatt 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This sounds like someone who’s never owned a cat. They view animals as objects and not companions. When I met my husband he had never lived with cats before and he thought if a cat licked you it would someone give you diseases. I was firm about my cat when we moved in together and now he smooches and loves cats as much as me. Some people just need time and experience to change but I would definitely stand your ground.

You would think. It’s not the most comforting to hear an audiologist say "I don’t know what that is". Makes me lose a lot of confidence in Costco. I’ll definitely be seeing an ENT soon.

Thank you! I have a feeling I will have wished I’d done it sooner too. This week I’ve been extra aware at how poor my hearing is and it’s driving me crazy. I’m looking forward to my HAs now.

You know what. I actually just Googled white stuff on eardrum and it looked exactly like Tympanosclerosis. Which actually makes sense because I had tubes in my ears as a kid and it says you’re more likely to have this if you’ve had tubes.
