I realized that my #introduction post was deleted so I'm creating a new one.
I'm Wallflower 👋💜🌺
You might already know me.
I'm a boy mom and a dog mom to 2.
I've been on the fedi since the Twitter exodus (Nov '22).
Beige is my 3rd instance and home. (It's absolutely not a cult. Wut? We just like to dress in these same robes. It's like a family thing.)
I'm allergic to a lot. It complicates life.
I like music, I like flowers, I like nature. I will inundate you with pics of nature. I suffer from SAD, you'll see more pics when I'm suffering.
I care about a lot. (I currently have politics on the back burner because I am disappointed in people.)
I am easy going and forgiving.
I am quirky and very GenX.
I am open about myself.
I am self critical.
I am an optimist but will over-analyze data, especially my own data.
I seek progress.
I seek ... a lot.
I am an INTJ. I will do INTJ things. Occasionally I branch out.
Welcome.

La Russia invitata al consiglio di pace per Gaza. La Russia sta cercando di "chiarire tutte le sfumature" dell'offerta con Washington senza aggiungere se Putin sia propenso a partecipare.

@nina_kali_nina four, next time you go to an art museum, bring your sketch book and draw pictures of the art. I don't know if this is obvious or not, but you will not get in trouble for drawing in an art museum. If you see something that grabs you about the art, try to pin it down with a quick technical study.
-
@nina_kali_nina third, there is nothing correct about point perspective. it's a geometric convenience for planning out technically impressive works, but it is not optically accurate, nor is it how our brains process what our eyes see (it's so much weirder, I have some interesting reading to point you toward on that, but I can't seem to find it at the moment). there's also "zero-point" perspective which is generally more useful for naturalistic drawing when you are away from architecture
-
@nina_kali_nina second, I noticed you are fond of the outline. In observational drawing, it is a good exercise to try to avoid drawing any outlines beyond light contour lines used for planning out sketches. This will look more naturalistic, because real life does not have outlines.
-
@nina_kali_nina ok done with dinner, I have more thoughts on your post, maybe you will find some of them useful.
Some technical advice for pushing your drawing further:
I recommend experimenting with charcoal and conte chalk when you sketch. You'll be able to do more subtle gradients and more striking dynamic range, and a pink pearl eraser or a kneaded rubber eraser will lift it back up just fine if you don't like a mark, just like pencil.

@barfly @GustavinoBevilacqua @SmilaBlomma @guardaminfaccia ottima scelta del figlio e ottima realizzazione da parte del padre!
(e sì, abituata alle “istruzioni” burda, quando ho comprato dei cartamodelli artigianali con decine di pagine di istruzioni è stato uno shock culturale)
