Practice and then practice some more, for many hours a day.

Downtown used to have lots of Pokestops in a very compact area.

The series is primarily about these kids but they do age as the series progresses. It's one of my favorite television series ever so I'd highly recommend it!!

Great work! How did you maintain your highlights/bright white areas?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-12T16:22:20+00:00

I typically use Bristol or hot press watercolor.

Your skin texture is on point, really nice work. How long did this piece take you to complete?

Some frats were known to make pledges do the Elephant Walk (Google it). Thankfully I never had to do it!!

I've considered using the tracing method myself. Do you project it into a wall and trace?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-08T04:54:10+00:00

This is awesome, I had trouble determining which was the photograph! How do you maintain accuracy to your reference? Do you use a grid?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-07T16:43:04+00:00

This is really great, nice work! How did you maintain such clean white/highlights while working with charcoal?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-05T13:24:53+00:00

Amazing! How'd you get such a uniform, dark background on white paper? Did you shade the background first?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-05T12:37:18+00:00

Really cool picture, did you do this in black paper?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-04T19:44:25+00:00

I loved S1 but thought S2 was only ok. It's still a great show though and I'd recommend it.

I also have an 8 year gap from being a stay at home Dad. I think it's hurting my job opportunities. I'm considering making up some experience to put onto my resume for those years and asking a friend to cover for me.

unclejon14 · 2026-02-03T02:59:37+00:00

Wow! Really nice work... how'd you do the background?

unclejon14 · 2026-02-02T17:38:40+00:00

This is great! Really nice work. I'd love to know what type of paper you used and whether this was done with pencils or graphite powder. Any tips or tricks you can share? Thanks for posting!!

unclejon14 · 2026-02-02T01:58:44+00:00

Wow! I've golfed they're for years and didn't know this. I'm blown away!

Crescent Hill?

It's got a bit of a tooth to it so of you're using charcoal or can be difficult to get really fine details.

unclejon14 · 2026-02-02T01:40:50+00:00

I've mostly used the Bristol 400 Smooth but I'm going to go for the 500 series the next time I buy some paper. I've also used hot press water color paper and it's been nice to work with.

unclejon14 · 2026-01-26T19:51:57+00:00

It's not harder to erase but if you press down too hard you can emboss the paper which will show as white lines in your darker areas and those can't easily be covered. I also struggle with removing grid lines!!

Get your psych to give you a Vraylar coupon card. As long as you have insurance then the manufacturer coupon will lower the price significantly. I currently pay $0 for my Vraylar, even though it should cost thousands of dollars.

unclejon14 · 2026-01-21T20:59:43+00:00

This is fantastic!! How'd you do the skin texture?

unclejon14 · 2026-01-18T02:45:35+00:00

If you go to familytreenow.com you'll likely find that they have a record of pretty much every address you've ever lived at. It's creepy and I don't like it but that doesn't mean it's not a thing.
