Thanks! And yeah, they definitely don’t seem like they’re half way, lol, so that’s good to know. Another commenter suggested the Loomis method, so that should help me place things better.
I always drew the top hat guy as a kid, so I thought I’d try doing a modern rendering. I quite like him, too. :)
Will do, thanks! :)
I also have no idea why none of my women look feminine. A few of them have an awfully strong jaw, lol, but other than that, I have no clue.
24 hours into teaching myself how to draw. What am I doing well? What do I need to work on?
While that one guy with the tall head was intentionally silly, I think I’m struggling most with proportions. I’m using a reference image for most of these, but none of the end results look much like the people in the photos. I’m also not using a grid as I’m doing this all with pen. I know I’ll eventually get it with practice, but is there anything specific I could try?
Remember when the Hummer H1 was the biggest, most obnoxious passenger vehicle on the road?

Oh my goodness I just tried this. Thank you so much, stranger.

Mein Deutsch ist nicht sehr gut, aber ich möchte mehr lernen. Warum ist “Euch” großgeschreiben?
Do you want Lemmy to grow?
Would you like it to grow so all of your other, non-technical interests could have active communities? Do you want more people for moral and philosophical reasons? Or are you enjoying being in a niche? Are you happy to have a platform full of techie individuals, even in communities not explicitly tied to anything techie (much like this one)?
My answer to all of these is “yes,” so I’m not quite sure what I want. What are your thoughts?
Ditto on the cycling. I’ve only ever gotten in one bad accident on my road bike, but if I hadn’t worn a helmet, I wouldn’t be here today. I got ran off the road by a car overtaking another when they shouldn’t have, went straight for a tree, used the roots as a sort of ramp to launch myself 5ish feet in the air, and landed helmet first on the road again with my bike landing on me soon after. I’ll never get on the bike without a helmet unless I’m on the trainer, no matter how short or safe I think the ride is.
I’m just replying to this because I wanted to see what color came after purple in Voyager…
Edit: It’s pink!
“Strategically placed snack” is hilarious, lol.
If someone was asked to describe me in a single word, I wish their response would be “kind.”
I’m a runner and I can definitely tell that the largest determining factor for my physical performance isn’t diet, days off, etc; it’s sleep. Sleep is SO important.
Edit: The others are still very important, but sleep is paramount.
I actually spent a long time forcing myself to sleep on my back because I was a chronic stomach sleeper and was having back pains. Now it’s the only position I can sleep in, lol.
I used to always just remember my homework assignments in high school and never failed to forget at least one or two a week. Taking the two seconds to add things to a calendar as they come up is a huge game changer.
I pop the bottom of the jar with my palm and it usually loosens up with a loud “schloop!” noise.
To add to your first one, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD BRUSH YOUR TONGUE, TOO. It makes a world’s difference and I’m actually astonished how many people I’ve interacted with that noticeably don’t do it.
As a runner, I think this is some of the best advice you can give someone. My mental health has never been better since I’ve started taking care of my physical health.
What small, everyday life tips do you have to offer?
I’ll go first. After your turn the water off in the shower but before you get out, use your hands to wipe off any standing water on your body. Maybe even give your legs a bit of a shake. This way, you won’t drip nearly as much when you get out, keeping the floor and your towel drier.
