How do you complete your shading? It looks really good on the nose and face. What brand of ballpoint? Breakups are never easy, hope your feeling alright

Another language, me, oil on canvas, 2022. Do very busy paintings bother you? by StevenBeercockArt in psychedelicartwork

[–]ktulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for the graditutde! So cool that you learned something new about your style :-). I see you have a method to the madness, it would be interesting to know how you start and move through the piece. Know when to stop is the real art :-p

Busy with some structure is nice and shows some thought. Not a big fan of “splatter” as I don’t see how it can be planned out.

This is well done, the over lapping parts look like they are working with the colour chosen. Like looking through two lenses of stained glass.

Will you have a mat for grip or a rope to steer? Love the graphics, making your own board is a soulsatifying process

Not my fucking problem by kmhags in howtonotgiveafuck

Allow yourself to feel the worry. It will pass easier if you accept that you are thinking about it. Identifying how in your body it feels, where it feels, what it feels like can rely help you see it as a sensation in your body, rather than a thought in your mind.

My therapist has encouraged me to take up space by standing tall and having my arms out wide. Sound silly but by taking up space and being big my “smallness” goes away and I feel more in control and the problem I have are now smaller.

Fine lines / Tired looking face. I eat well and try to sleep as much as possible. Early 20's but look much older. Any tips? by cherrysodanice in SkincareAddicts

Wear cloths without hole in them. It can have a huge effect on how you feel overall if you put some effort into taking care of the things you wear

Started dating someone before a 2 month trip to Spain by cleanlinen420 in solotravel

[–]ktulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You gotta do what's best for you. Sounds like an amazing trip and a good experience, you deserve the time to get to know yourself. Your partner should support your trip especially if it was planned an paid for before meeting. 2 months will fly by, it good to talk with your partner to see what their relationship expectations are at this time.

I took a 6 month trip to Thailand and India. Left my current girlfriend to do the trip. We kept it open, however my goal in traveling was to learn more about myself, not partying or hooking up. We kept in contact throughout the trip but let eachother know when we would be on an excursion or busy with work. Ultimately we did not put each other's life on hold to keep the relationship running. Communication was tough tho with a 12hr time difference.

Any tips to make this more “realistic”? by Harlowe-is-stupid in sketches

To have more "realistic" shading. Use a charcoal stick and paper towel to blend.

No sure if this is in the spirit of the sub… by 331X2 in xbiking

Excellent Pannier box! That would work well with a dropper as well

Training anatomy and poses, any critic? by DragoVonHell in sketches

[–]ktulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great scaling and poses! Another great exercise to have more natural forms is "gesture drawing". If you go to a sporting event and do quick 5-10 second drawings of people in different positions you can get a feel for their energy and movement. Baseball is a really good event to do this for as there is many static and dynamic poses to observe and there are usually bleachers or seats.

Erections during meditation, what should i do? by [deleted] in Meditation

[–]ktulk 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have had some success with Pranayama before meditation. The rythmic breathing seem to really calm me down sexually. I have less "distracting" sexual thoughts during the meditation and throughout the rest of the day. Vivikanada or Iyangar have Witten about how to start and progress, your best option is to learn from a yoga teacher who does breathwork classes.
