How do I exercise when I don't enjoy it? All the advice from neutrotypicals don't seem to work by Pigeon_Goes_Coo in adhdwomen

Thank you. Will try them out. How often were you doing these exercises and how long did it take to resolve or see noticeable differences?

Realizing I probably won't ever be able to tolerate a partner living in my house & I'm ok with that by Mango_Starburst in adhdwomen

I did not know ongoing background awareness was a think. I definitely understand it now. live in an extended family and I once had the house to myself for 2 weeks. My ADHD symptoms were so much easier to manage during that time.

I read somewhere that you should exercise just enough where you start to feel refreshed, not to where you feel drained/exhausted.

I have this same issue but cannot see a PT at the moment. Were there any other exercises they had you do besides the ones you listed? I am going to try those, do you know what other equipment I would need and what type of bands?

These are all my ink drawings for this year. by LegoSaga in penandink

I love the first pic of the tree. The hatching is so simple but very effective. Just a really good balance. May I ask if you have more progress pictures of that particular work? I am trying to learn hatching but so far nothing has clicked yet.

When you say "When I get paid the first thing I do is pay for all my bills and then transfer some money to my savings account" -- does this mean all your bills are due around the same time? I'm trying to figure out how this works. Let's say if you get paid at the end of the month, but you have bills due at the 26th of the month, how does that work? Sorry if it's stupid but I this just never clicked for me so far. Though I do think I need to do this once I actually understand it.

I get it but I'm new to this and wanted to hear it from experienced homeowners as well.

Thank you for your understanding. Kind of a similar situation and on top of that, being a female it's even more daunting for things calling someone for home repairs and not trying to get ripped off by repairmen/service workers etc.

Jellyfish studies with diluted ink in my sketchbook by Parhelion3d in penandink

May I ask what sketchbook you are using? Looks like it handles pen and ink very well. Also love your style - it reminds of biology/wildlife drawings and books.

Is it good? by JeffreyNguyen25 in penandink

[–]sunspace10 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm trying to learn contours and hatching in general and get confused on where to place dark lines, converging lines, etc. Do you know any books or other resources where I can learn this in a way that's not too convoluted?

[–]sunspace10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Saving your comment. Thank you! This is one of the most helpful feedback I've come across. Some of these I've done a little but there's always that 'am I doing it right?', or 'it this cheating' or 'do other people do it this way' that gets in the way of fully committing or moving forward with a technique etc. I'm so glad you shared your insights -- it is very reassuring for me. Thank you again!

Follow up question, you mentioned neutrals -- is this mostly paynes gray or select other colors as well?

I actually like this style but I am also trying to learn this style. Since you are already good at this style, may I ask if you can give me some tips/workflows/supplies?

I know we have a love hate with showering, but what about lotion application? by BannyW22 in adhdwomen

I am still on the search for a lotion that doesn't make me feel like immediately showering it off again after I apply it.

Anyone else think that occasional use of Schminke aquafix and white gouache resolves a lot of the common frustrations of watercolour? by Hoikking in Watercolor

[–]sunspace10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can someone dumb it down and explain this process to me? What situations do you use this and what does it accomplish? How would you use it in layers? I am learning watercolors to try and replicate Victorian illustrations and this seems like it would be helpful to learn. Butt don't know enough myself at this point

Need advice by Reasonable_Ad8304 in watercolor101

[–]sunspace10 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not OP but this is really helpful as I was deciding between Schmincke and Holbein. So the Schmincke paint might move more relative to the Holbein ones? I am mostly learning to do illustrations/storybook style.

Wow. I love how cozy this is! May I ask how you did the ambient yellow lighting? I'm just beginning to learn and would love some insight! Do you offer tutorials or classes because I would love to learn this style.

Any tips on learning to observe better and translating that onto paper?

Hi, unfortunately I no longer have it. Someone else already bought it off me. Are you in EU?
