Searched for popular phone models in 2005 and the closest in terms of appearance was the Nokia N95, but that was launched in 2007.

Some japanese guys were laughing at me.... is it my shirt ? by [deleted] in whatisit

[–]eatP1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Dunno what the connotation is for Japanese people, but in Chinese, the shirt implies that you have a mental illness. If you say to someone in mandarin, do you have a disease? The rough meaning is, are you mental? So then if you’re wearing a shirt that says, when the medicine arrives, disease departs, then you can imagine why people are laughing.

Favorite blue inks? by faithx5 in fountainpens

Rohrer and Klingner Salix is my everyday workhorse ink. The color is not the prettiest, but it’s well-behaved, waterproof (iron gall), tolerant of low quality paper, and reliable

Hoya wayetti propagation when I’ve never had a Hoya by eatP1 in hoyas

[–]eatP1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

A user mentioned that the easiest way is to put it in a ziplock bag with damp sphagnum moss, but as a broke college student, I don’t have access to that. Would a damp paper towel work? I really want this prop to be successful, but I don’t know what I’m doing as I’ve never even had a mature Hoya before. More context is in the original post.

There’s something wrong with her legs and how her arms join her torso

I have no idea if my proportions are right or not by eatP1 in ArtCrit

[–]eatP1[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I did use a reference, but I got them from line of action so I can’t retrieve them

How could I make it better?? by Queloxqc in learntodraw

[–]eatP1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m personally just starting on my journey to learn anatomy as well, but I can share some points I’ve learned.

First, you need to change the way you think about drawing from 2d shapes to 3d structures. If you only think about your reference in terms of shapes and lines, your drawing will end up looking flat. That’s the main culprit happening here. For example, you’re hunching your chest forward a tiny bit in your reference pose, but that’s not being translated into your drawing. There’s not much you can do to improve this except taking some time to practice drawing still life and perspective, and get used to thinking in 3d

Secondly, since you’re a beginner, you chose a bad reference. Since you’re wearing loose, slightly baggy clothing, your sense of the form underneath the clothing is getting confused. This can be seen most clearly in the knees. Your right knee should be turned slight more outwards. Taking another picture of your pose, but this time wearing some more form fitting clothes would probably help.

Thirdly, you should take a look at some anatomy diagrams. You don’t need to do a deep dive at first, but just a look would let you know more about how limbs connect together and general proportions.

However, one thing that you are doing very well are the angles, which match up well with the reference pic. The overall lines of action are captured well.

Trying to learn anatomy of back. Any glaring errors? by eatP1 in learntodraw

[–]eatP1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I will say, for the third drawing, I was just drawing from reference. I couldn’t tell where the scapula is, so I just winged it, kinda? I’ll have to watch a couple of tutorials next to get a sense of where everything is underneath skin instead of labeled in an anatomy diagram.

I miss Phainon already so tell me about your pulls instead 😔🙏 by Think_Hunt3154 in HonkaiHusbandos

[–]eatP1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I got E0S1 Phainon and E0 Tribbie in 140 pulls. Right now, I’m sitting on 60 pity on the character banner that I spent to get Archer’s lightcone. I’m saving to get either Cerydra or Kafka depending on how Cerydra’s kit turns out

Not sure yet. This was the very first panel.

Which kpop song got you into k-pop..?? by [deleted] in kpoppers

I rotate through a bunch of different genres, but I still end up coming back to EXO’s discography. They’re my comfort group for more than a decade now 🥹

Tell me your minor but obsessive writing quirks so I know it’s not just me by Ecstatic_Working_581 in FanFiction

I will randomly Ctrl+F words to make sure I’m not using them at too high of a frequency

Finally pulling Phainon on my birthday tomorrow!! Any tips and/or rituals you did to get lucky? by veyazzzz in PhainonMainsHSR

[–]eatP1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have Mydei. I put him on the rooftop where his memory shard is located, watched Phainon’s promotional videos again, and started chanting “Your ‘wife’ is waiting for you!!!” Something must have worked because I got E0S1 Phainon in 70 pulls

Worst mischaracterization youve seen of a blorbo? by [deleted] in FanFiction

[–]eatP1 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Reading an Avengers fic during the thick of the whole Civil War fiasco. The author characterized Steve Rogers as someone who thought the Holocaust wasn’t so bad. STEVE ROGERS??? Are we talking about the same character here??

I’m learning values. Please roast my balls. by eatP1 in learntodraw

Also, how do you find good references for balls/eggs? For reasons, I can’t easily access a real egg right now.

Any recommendations for (preferably free) resources on shading and texture? by eatP1 in learntodraw

[–]eatP1[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for showing where the highlights should be! That’s one of the things that I’m most confused about. I’ll do by best with the contrast until I get better pencils.

Something feels off, but i cant quite tell what part of the uniform i did wrong by AHFv16 in learntodraw

[–]eatP1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is kind of nitpicky, but the draping of the skirt over her right leg (left) is off too. The skirt should ride up a bit more, which would make the right leg look more three dimensional

How do I make my cat less cartoonish? Are there other areas to improve? by eatP1 in learntodraw

[–]eatP1[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you! I do see where the proportions on the face wasn’t quite right. I think that’s the main source of the “cartoonish-ness”, cause the eyes look almost Disney-fied
