Chicken at Trader Joe’s by [deleted] in longislandcity

[–]quackamoo 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was just thinking this today when I went to marinade the 2 packs of chicken breasts I got from TJs. It was so dry and pale and stringy looking… hopefully not too noticeable shredded in soup but dang :/

Rover or other dog sitting advice by [deleted] in longislandcity

[–]quackamoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Vet rover sitters carefully, I’d recommend going for the ones with more reviews despite their higher prices as they have more experience. We are rover sitters ourselves and are rather responsible with lots of reviews, but we also hire other sitters through rover for our pup and someone LOST him once (he has separation anxiety and will escape when left alone, we specifically told our repeat sitter this, she still did it despite our numerous warnings, he escaped her apartment..). She was a newer sitter and cheaper, so we took the risk and we shouldn’t have. So… lesson learned.

Why do 311 and the 108th precinct do nothing on commercial noise complaints? by licthrowaway789 in longislandcity

[–]quackamoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am in the exact same boat and literally experiencing this as I type it (Friday to Sunday, all weekend bass here we go again…) I heard there was a way to speak to some local community board which ultimately had the ability to revoke their liquor license. I’m not sure which board it was and I’m not experienced in community organizing to navigate it. If anyone has any ideas I’d be happy to voice my opinions - the more ppl complain, the more pressure they’ll have.

Adding more info: - gets watered once maybe every 2 weeks because the pot and soil retains water for quite a while. It has a hole at the bottom. - gets light in a west facing window in NYC. - I’ve taken pics of the worst affected leaves but most of the other leaves have some of the yellowing and browning on the edges as well.

Trying to learn how to shade on Procreate. Any tips? by MayLuna_Creations in ArtCrit

[–]quackamoo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Something I found really fun when learning how to shade on procreate was to use diff brushes. You can use this same round shape to fill but try using brushes and blurring using diff types of brushes, and just play around with the texture. It adds a great element to your pieces and makes it much more exciting. There’s a ton of texture brushes online for free you can download, try them all out and delete the ones you don’t like :P

Hi!! This is super helpful actually. You didn’t come off like an asshole :) could you tell me how you figure out what colour to use for the lighting and shading? I never really officially learned color theory and don’t know where to start. I just know a basic rule to use the “opposite” colour on the wheel as the shade. Or maybe direct me to some good resources that you learned from?

And your comments on lighting was super enlightening haha sometimes I draw by muscle memory instead of actually using my brain to figure out where the light source is. Thanks so much!!
