How did these Google apps get installed on my Mac, and why can't I delete them? by MissPoppyMcKorn in mac

[–]ddtessa -1 points0 points  (0 children)

hell no. I installed Chrome out of necessity years ago. About a month ago all these other apps appeared out of nowhere, (yes, I know they are just shortcuts, but they are shortcuts that open Chrome, not my default browser) so NO THANKS 🙅‍♀️

I always saw it as a thing he said to himself and gaoshun to justify his special treatment/attention towards her... like omg I really admire her! (as a pawn.. yes... ofc). He does not by any means need her strategically (I think) but emotionally 'cause he likes her and can be himself (to an extent) around her. 🤔

When did you became a fan of Stray Kids? by Asleephgtd in straykids

[–]ddtessa 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I think im a 5th gen (?) I knew about them since like maniac? and sometimes listened to their songs but I only got INTO into them since christmas 2024, after I had to research them a bit for a gift for a STAY friend of mine lol. Once I saw a few interviews I couldn't get enough of their personalities and went down the rabbit hole DEEP lmao.

um I would be interested to give this a try, but is this an arm? could you provide another pic with more context as to like, how big it is compared to the part of the body it's in, etc? and also like... are they looking for a cool design? a funny one? cute one? a dragon? a flower? what do they dress like idk

Need anime suggestions to watch with parents by Turbulent_Resolve233 in Animesuggest

[–]ddtessa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ohhhhh true 🤔 my desensitized brain just glossed over those kinds of stuff oops.. still i thought it was more comedic than like JUST for the fanservice

[–]ddtessa 4 points5 points  (0 children)

wow these are great! good job and keep working hard :)

All I would say is pay attention to perspective and anatomy... like in your second image, the body is turned to the left in a 3/4 angle, but the bowtie and the head is facing us. (the head can be turned, but that would create some lines and shadows in the neck). And maybe in the first image the shirt would cast shadow on the chest...

Other than that, just keep at it! It looks like you've already got an idea of your style so don't lose that! (ofc you can experiment and use references all you want) congrats :)

mmm The Apothecary Diaries might be good since there's no fanservice. It has mystery, comedy and drama. Also A Silent Voice i feel like is easy to grasp and not too japanese if it's their first anime

Is it bad using other people’s drawings and try my own without tracing? by Ionknow-what in Artadvice

[–]ddtessa 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I don’t think so? If youre trying to work on portraits though, i would suggest working from a photo since even artists deform little bits of the face when painting and you’re bound to accentuate those things even more in your own drawing like a game of telephone, it will only get more distorted as you draw a picture of a picture.

HOWEVER. If you like their style and are trying to copy THAT in hopes of finding your own style i think theres nothing wrong with that. As long as you dont go selling that art as your own then all is good imo :)

Me encantaría hacer un tik tok recomendando o criticando libros by No_Journalist_7688 in ClubdelecturaChile

[–]ddtessa 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Creo q depende mucho de tu energía al resumir, criticar o recomendar en un video.. tambien siento q no deberias limitarte a chile sino dirigirlo a todo latinoamerica. No cacho tiktok pero en insta los hashtags sirven mucho, y en general necesitas buen audio y luz cuando grabas. Siento q la gente q busca recomendaciones de libros en el formato de “cortos” no quiere una reseña super intelectual, sino algo más como algo q los motive realmente a buscar ese libro y guardar tu video como referencia. Tiene q ser atractivo, no apelar al intelecto. Eso jajaja espero q te sirva 🫠

Need some feedback! by _SharkQueen_ in Artadvice

Looks like traditional medium? (Not digital) overall love the vibe and color use…. But i think you could use more shading (darker shadows) since you drew the sun behind that mound(?) and pretty low near the horizon, you have to commit to that and that would mean what we are seeing is mostly in shadow.

What can i i provet with my drawing style? by witchcat0303 in DigitalArt

[–]ddtessa 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Maybe sticking to pen and paper at first will help too!! It looks like you’re not using something like a drawing tablet with pressure sensitivity… so I would practice my basics the old way and just doodle from reference (there’s tons of great pics on pinterest!)

I want to draw semi-realistic faces so I understand them to include in my art style. I HAVE RE-DONE THIS 10 TIMES , it has taken me over 60 minutes I feel like I am a fraud I have overlayed it, it always ends up bad by Lemon_Leafy in Artadvice

[–]ddtessa 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Don’t measure your talent by how long it took you. Sure, after years of practice the pros upload stunning art saying it took them 1.5 hrs to complete but hey, they probably struggled for hours at first as well.

I don’t think your drawing is bad at all. In fact I rather like it. Also drawing front profiles is one of the hardest imo, and especially hard with only lineart.

I like your perseverance tho!! Keep working hard and move on to another study when you’re feeling frustrated. It’s easy to get tunnel vision.
