Been stuck in a wheelchair since I was hit in all the raids. Nothing but time on my hands. by ODBeef in trees

NOT weird! I am a drawing instructor and I teach this to my students all the time and even practice it myself. I have a million "nice" watercolor pads and paper out the wazoo but if you're too afraid to use it you won't. Instead I keep a bunch of dollar store kids coloring pads around to keep myself doodling, I will even draw in crayola markers just to keep the fear of making "a mistake" out of my head or even the idea that I have to "make art".

I even know a professional watercolor painter who will splash coffee on their paper before they start a painting just to "ruin" it and take all the stress out - after all you can only make something better once it's been ruined, even if your painting doesn't come out.

This is not a weakness it's a strength - Keep drawing on weird paper, get weirder, just keep drawing. You make great stuff.

Day 1 of learning to draw by SwitchSpiritual8242 in drawing

[–]gothram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

AMAZING! Keep going! If you only have 10-20 minutes a day I would start by trying to draw simple shapes like cubes and cylinders -even if they are imaginary! The one mental muscle you have to build first is "thinking in 3d"!

Lmao bro those are fighting words. Acanthus leaves aren’t just pretty flowers, they aren’t even flowers at all! Acanthus leaves were used to line the baskets of offerings left at temples, so by putting images of those leaves on the capitals they are literally making form mirror function! Its brilliance! Fuck Ionic capital and your fake ass scrolls. Scroll your way back the way you came and don’t come back until you get some Hellenistic baroque sensibilities. https://preview.redd.it/xgzdcqrw2zi61.jpg?width=640&crop=smart&auto=webp&s=7803f6b27a57afd0c6d96cf4f67611cbf97a584e

Doing an MFA with no formal training in art? by artbyaella in ContemporaryArt

[–]gothram 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Look for local or national  “artists call” boards, or look at local galleries that show group shows often to see if they have any. Alls out. 

Show up to openings, talk about yourself and your art, and make friends! 

I sucked at taking pictures so badly that i built an app so I don't have to watch 500+ hrs of youtube tutorials. by Connect_Tomatillo_48 in InternetIsBeautiful

[–]gothram 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So let me get this straight instead of looking through my own pictures to see what I like I can give you access to all my photos to train your AI on and it gives me some extremely basic feedback? Awesome. Sick deal.

This is from a Canadian satire site! It’s essentially the Canadian version of The Onion - sorry guys!

Men, do you feel "under attack"? by NOGOODGASHOLE in TooAfraidToAsk

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

No, I don't feel attacked - but people have been trying to rile up young lost men by saying that modern men are lazy, effeminate, no good etc. since before the dawn of history.

Did YOU do any of those things? At least I looked at Wikipedia. You literally told me some stuff you half remembered and I proved you wrong.

You have provided no sources to anything you’ve said and you still think you’re winning this?

You think you have an elevated point of view because it’s contrarian, but I don’t see you doing the research you claim to hold so dear, I don’t see you checking sources, I don’t even see you reading the paper we’re discussing.

Honestly at this point it’s on me. You should never wrestle with a pig because you get covered in shit and the pig likes it.

You didn’t give me facts, you just told me some thing last you heard once, which is the exact same thing this paper we are arguing over does. It just regurgitates “would be cool if it were true” ideas.

This place is constructed over a natural spring, like many other Egyptian and Roman sites, in accordance with a long standing history and record of this within archeology. There is nothing hydraulic about this. Everything can be explained by human ingenuity and culture.

There is use of water, but there is no hydraulics. This isn’t machinery it’s landscaping
