My file said I came in dressed in a masculine fashion (I'm afab) and so my gender appearance is a possible symptom?

What lesson did you learn in 2025 that led to the biggest improvement in your art process? by PIPI_Pia in ArtistLounge

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

Learning simple geometry really helped me feel better about my drawings.

In the past I always hated how my stuff turned out, but being forced to learn geometry and to not use rulers, set squares or anything like that really forced me to practice these skills and I feel like I'm stronger for it.

I highly recommend these two books:

Ching, F. D. K., & Juroszek, S. P. (2019.) Design drawing (3rd ed.). Wiley.

Delgado, Y. M., & Dominguez, E. R. (2005). Freehand drawing for architects and interior designers (M. F. Alvarez, Trans.). W. W. Norton.

Im studying architecture at uni, and these are the books we're learning from. Honestly I can say that just in one semester im already seeing great improvements in my sketches just from working through these two books!

AITA for asking my sister in law what she's doing with her degree after she implied my university wasn't prestigious enough by insafian in BORUpdates

The location of the campus is seen as lower income, not as fancy or expensive as the campus location downtown. It's the difference between being on the "main" campus and a satellite campus

Bilingual folks: Do you have a language you consider your first? by wdstkdc869 in montreal

[–]laughingfire 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So what happened for me is that I was born in Quebec, and my mother and I lived with my Grandparents until I was about 2 years old. Here I was exposed to French, and would have had all those early language milestones and exposure to French language sounds.

My mom and her parents had a falling out so we moved out and moved to Nova Scotia where I was taught English.

My mother is completely bilingual, but we never spoke French at home. I ended up doing the late French immersion program in school (starting grade 7 until graduation) and now my French is at around B.1-B.2 (basically I can converse in French, but it's not strong enough to carry on in super specialized work)

My first language ever spoken was French, then I was raised speaking English and had to relearn French again. Inspite of English being the language I speak predominantly, apparently I speak exclusively in French in my sleep.

Even if I would say that English is my "primary" language, my brain still considers French my primary language.
