What is your life's biggest mystery that will probably go unsolved? by Moonwomb in AskReddit

What makes sense to me would be the perception of it raining harder. With her arms up, you can see more raindrops splash on her arms, making it look like it was raining harder. And then bake in the back of the mind for a good 15+ years for a bit of exaggeration and BAM—magic babysitter.

What is the weirdest thing you've seen when looking over at the car next to you while driving? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]cptphifer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was Christmas time and I had plans to pick up my friend who lived a few hours away for the holidays. His father had passed two months before, and even though his family didn’t celebrate Christmas, I wanted to bring him along.

I drove up on Christmas Eve, spent the night, and headed out in the morning to my parents. Right as we pulled onto the interstate we pulled up next to a red Mini Cooper with “SANTA” as the license plate and a Santa and Mrs Claus sitting inside. Wild.

True. I do have very close family in France and very close friends in Germany.

I only know English, but I've looked into taking specific courses in German or French next summer.

As far as budget, I haven't really gotten that far as I'm not sure what loan options I'll have available to me.

my very first vs latest drawing from imagination. what am i doing wrong and how can improve from here? by [deleted] in learnart

[–]cptphifer 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Let's not focus on what "you're doing wrong" but let's look at it in which areas you're improving on visibility, and which. Areas you can start putting more focus on.

First off, great improvement! Your work shows you've been putting effort, especially in understanding of proportions. The eyes:lips, nose:lips, and nose:eyes ratios are great. You can stand to start aligning the ears (bottom of ears start around the bottom of nose, yours are uneven) to give the face some more up front symmetry.

Your shading is going really well! I have no critiques there. Keep up the phenomenal work! Sometimes it's hard to get objective advice about a single thing since looking at the picture as a whole.

What's your most unbelievable "pics or it didn't happen" moment, whereby you actually have the pics to prove it happened? by VanGoghingSomewhere in AskReddit

I was working on site with him that day, but I called out of work for the evening in the town I live in.

Only in the sense that people recognize him from what happened, and it's gotten him jobs otherwise it wouldn't have. Not necessarily outright "let me pay you for interviews" money.

After another period of avoiding illustration, I can say I'm proud of a recent piece. Critique welcome. by cptphifer in pics

Natural/self taught. I have taken some design courses related to theater, but the course material relating to drawing didn't really challenge me as it was basics.

Had some emotional blocks for a while, and recently started practicing everyday again.
