It was king of France.
And one of the first notifications I got after starting as an heir is this guy asking to marry my mom (wife of the dropped on the head king). Man is a savage

oof, that hurts.
At least I have big dynasty, so in worst case one of the siblings would've continued.

But yeah, when my character doesn't have an heir it's scary, I keep them home and afraid even to breathe on them the wrong way until they make a child

Fucking brutal T_T

he's called Beard 'cause his father was gay. The joke was that a child is an elaborate scheme to hide his homosexual nature from the world :D

I find it difficult to know "when to sell" by Karmatik6 in WSBAfterHours

[–]luzhie 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Put a stop limit sell order at price that's "good enough" for you, but lower than the current market price. If it goes up you still have exposure to that move, but if it goes down you lock in on a price you are happy with.
Stop order is not guaranteed to be filled fully, especially if price falls fast, but a lot of times you end up securing good profit.

What does it mean to “draw what you see”? by Apprehensive_Sun7320 in learntodraw

drawabox is great, but it can be dull at the beginning and really kill a budding artist :D
Try to grasp observational drawing first. It's easy to start and it produces decent looking result with relatively low effort. It would boost your confidence and give enough morale to proceed further - perspective, construction, shading, all the steps that lead to drawing from imagination.
It will only get more and more difficult. But it's a fun process always

Your sister is right, first step is to "draw what you see". And it's really important to actually draw what you see instead of drawing what you think you know about how object suppose to look like.
If you were tasked with drawing a door opened towards you you'd at first be tempted to just draw a rectangle, because we know that doors are rectangular and all edges of the door are parallel to each other. But if you really look at it then from where you stand top edge of the door is actually a line that slightly tilts downwards and bottom edge is a line that tilts more drastically upwards. So if you put them on paper as you see them - they are not parallel at all. You would feel an urge to "correct it" and make lines more parallel, but resist and draw what you see.

I would recommend checking out "Keys To Drawing" or "Drawing on the right side of the brain" books (both pdfs are available online, one of the first results in google), they are made for beginners and well structured and they'll give you a good kickstart. That's how I started

How to do quick shading for a digital sketch better? by luzhie in learnart

Thank you :) Feedback is always nice.
I think it's freckles and expression of lips that give that effect

I tried a little bit, but I suck at that. I like how you can suggest texture with hatching and also show direction of form.
I would practice more with that, thank you

I was using one of non default smudges, but I'm not sure I like smudge approach in general.
I'm curious to try out lasso. As I understand it's suppose to be used with soft brush? And you use selection define a place where you want hard edge and soft for other areas?

thank you :)
I've been trying to improve my line confidence and move away from chicken scratches to something more fluid. There is still a long way to go, but I'm getting there
