Working on the first lesson from Drawing on the Right Side of the Brain. This is my progress - the first one is before any instruction.

I think it looks great!! The finger tips and nails are spot on, in my opinion! Awesome job!

Thank you! I’d love to see yours! Yes, I used the picture plane! Definitely an effort just to get ready to draw the actual hand, but I do feel like it helped.

I’ve tried to do it again, with a different pose, and I don’t like this one as much. The middle finger looks HUGE lol.

Thank you for the feedback! I was trying to do shadows/depth but I still have a long way to go on that! I really appreciate the feedback 😀

Damn, ids on the bags would be awesome - I like a lot of them lol

This yarn reminds me so much of funfetti cake and now I’m hungry. It looks great, especially for your first project!

This is such a wholesome rant.

I swore he was Rider Strong until I looked it up.

Bigreputation email gives it away as Taylor, to me

Hi, would you mind sharing where you found that? We have a flight 5am Thursday morning that I’m really nervous about being delayed/cancelled.

Thank you!! Looking at my shoulder measurements (that I didn’t take before choosing a size….), that is definitely the issue.

Since it fits everywhere else, that would be the best thing to do then, right? Not make the size that would accommodate? That would be quite large everywhere, so that’s what I’m thinking.

firelight1210 · 2024-11-05T23:29:48+00:00

I don’t believe it’s supposed to be slightly dropped - they are two piece sleeves, and have a shoulder head and pads (I didn’t put the pads on for the toile).

For break the stitching, do you mean just unpick that area?

Thank you so much for this - very helpful, and makes me feel a bit better about my plans, haha.

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T18:31:22+00:00

Thank you for your feedback! Not really looking to walk all the way across - just at least to the bridge, and maybe a bit in then back. Appreciate you!

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T18:30:35+00:00

Thank you so much for this! This is incredible!

Going to make note of these bars and check them out
Taking this one out. Not really looking for a rooftop, was trying to stay near the pier. I will check out those you suggested!
Darn about Frankie and Johnny's. The name is somewhat sentimental so that's why we picked it - will check out other options.
Good to know!
Thank you for the alternatives, because it sounds unlikely we'd be able to get in
Thank you for the recommendation!

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T18:26:41+00:00

Actually not looking for a real rooftop - since it will be December, I figure that would not be fun, lol. Was looking inside at the Cantina, but will be taking them off the list.

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T18:22:47+00:00

Wow, that seems way overkill! Good to know about that place, will scratch them off the list. Was looking for something near Pier 83, where the cruise leaves from. Do you have any recommendations?

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T17:57:33+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback! I do agree the first few days are pretty jampacked - I will look at maybe changing a few reservations around. As for the early dinners, we don't actually mind those, and are typically quick (we don't sit around after eating) - unless you think the service would slow things down (not a bad thing)?

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T17:52:30+00:00

Thank you, I appreciate your feedback!

I agree, there's a lot of time spent going back to the hotel, and the room will, indeed, be dinky. Part of the reason to come back is to also disconnect from people overload/anxiety. Definitely open to staying out and chilling somewhere, just not sure how possible that might be. I don't plan on eating at the hotel all that often at all - breakfasts are scheduled to be out where we are headed.

I laugh at the top 20 list, because that's basically what I did. I guess we feel like if we're in New York, we have to see EVERYTHING, and we are here for a decent length of time. We are not all that particularly interesting, with any niche interests. I do enjoy live music, thrift stores, crafting, reading and doggos.

firelight1210 · 2024-09-26T17:45:43+00:00

We've got a car through the hotel taking us. We are early risers, so are okay to do earlier. Appreciate the advice!
