[QUOTE=TheFilmSlacker;51720152]Having fucking thousands of cute ideas for art but no artistic ability to draw[/QUOTE] Here's the best advice I can give you guys as someone who's wanted to draw for around a decade and only got in to it lately for that same reason. Go buy yourself a sketchbook and a packet of mechanical pencils at wal-mart. A pen is a good thing to have too. This will run you less than $10. Start drawing every day. [B]Don't[/B] draw full drawings. I mean, you can, but you should be more worried about sketching. Think about this; the experienced artist will have drawn thousands upon thousands of heads. You have drawn less than 100. Instead of doing a full drawing, with a full body and everything, and getting only 1 bad head done as a result, do this instead; Pick a subject, and start sketching it over and over and over. For instance, draw 20 heads a day, in rows of 4. Do each head a little bit different; for instance put the eyes a little higher, and then put them a little lower, and then spread them out a little more, see what you like. Change things constantly. Face shape, eye shape, eye placement, nose or no nose, shape of nose, size of nose, so on. Really get in to experimenting. It won't matter to you how bad you're drawing the head this time, because you know there's always the next head. Slowly the stress starts to melt away and you begin to have fun with drawing. You actually look forward to it, you get excited. Hang on to that and never stop. When you finish your 20 heads, block off that section, date it, and put it away. Look at it tomorrow and reflect on what you did and what you could do better, and draw 20 more heads. You'll notice improvements across the board. Your lines start to get better and more natural as you become confident in your drawing. I'm not talking months, I'm talking days. Instead of getting maybe one head out a day, you're cranking out 20 a day, 140 a week, so on. It stacks quickly. You become better at drawing while also drawing faster than you did before. There's a song by Sublime that goes like this; [quote]I smoke two joints in time of peace And two in time of war I smoke two joints before I smoke two joints and then I smoke two more[/quote] well, replace 'smoke two joints' with 'draw 20 heads' and you have the right idea. Find art styles you like and study them, really look at the shapes that make up the picture and then draw them yourself. Learn their techniques. How they draw the eyes, the hair, so on. Don't trace their drawings, re-draw the elements of them yourself. You might feel worried or bad because you're 'copying', but you're not publishing this art and saying it's yours, you're learning from other artists. That's like saying you can't learn how to build a couch from anyone else or you're stealing, you have to invent the couch yourself. Absolutely not. Thousands of amazing artists today got their start ripping off Invader Zim's art style or drawing shit anime. Also don't worry about what this will do to your art 'style' as an art style is simply an amalgamation of rules. You can change your style at any time by simply changing the rules (for instance, whether heads are angular or rounded) also watch art videos, I cannot stress this enough they are SO HELPFUL [quote][media]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k0ufz75UvHs[/media][/quote] If you're serious about getting in to art and not just sitting there thinking "man wouldn't it be great if I could draw the waifus?" but not actually wanting it enough to work for it, this is an excellent video to start you off in my opinion

Nice, my LG G Pro-Lite got bricked. Never buying an LG phone ever again.

People nagging at me for being unemployed for over a year and a half is starting to wear at me again. Getting real fatigued and depressed more than usual. Yeah I know I'm a worthless piece of shit for not wanting to put in more applications after putting in 30 billion and either never getting called back, rejected, or blown off/flat out insulted after like the 4 interviews I've had, and refusing to work at walmart or mcdonalds since that would honestly make me even more depressed after being bitched at and abused by managers and customers k thx. Oh and feeling guilty for basically being a stay at home wife for my fiance, and not cleaning the place right, and barely being able to finish simple tasks, and not gaining any money, and then being reminded of said bullshit sure doesn't help. God I feel dead inside.

Not really extremely mad about this but someone stole my mini-pump from my bicycle at the school I go to follow engineering lessons. You know, to pump air into your tires if they get flat mid travel. It's not really a serious loss, I never used that thing and if it happened, I cba most of the time. Still bad to know that there are dipshits out there that will steal everything not secured to your bike.

Head got accidentally hit by soccer ball when my friend kicked it like a raging bull. Not really painful but still disorienting.

My Wiimote still works, but the cursor won't move around on the screen. From what i can gathers, it's something inside the remote is stuck. So that's fucking annoying. Does anyone know an easy way to fix it or do i have to get it fixed via a professional?

I've developed this habit of randomly adding apostrophes to normal plural words and I have no idea why.

[QUOTE=Anderan;51723948]I've developed this habit of randomly adding apostrophes to normal plural words and I have no idea why.[/QUOTE] I've started swapping homophones/theyre-their-there without realizing it. Every time I do it I stop typing and feel old for a half an hour.

God I feel dead inside.[/QUOTE] Amen to this. I've been looking for work for... hmm, I'd estimate nearly 7 maybe 8 years. All I've managed to get in that time is about 2 dozen interviews, most of which were at places that were outside of my skill set because some recruitment agency will stop giving me jobs if i turn down anything at all. Oh and I got an internship that had me working 9 hours a day, 5 days a week, for an intended 6 months with no payment at all, and I was expected to supervise a store I knew nothing about.

I was feeling tired all the time so I decided not to stay up super late anymore. Now I'm getting plenty of sleep and I feel waaaaay more tired all the time than before. And now I don't have a social life to show for it. What the actual fuck.

My father thinks Trump blocking the USDA/EPA/HHS/etc. from the media is a good thing, because "the big news corporations can't spin things their way" (nor can important studies be released) and "they're government departments anyway, they don't need to talk to the public" (or between each other, apparently). It's ridiculous, even more so because we're Canadian.

Just give me my fucking excalibur already.[/QUOTE] Ok I am extremely curious. What game are you playing?

The watch in RE7 is a pebble watch, which is a brand that got sold to fitbit which cancelled all production and warranties like a month or two ago I'm still bitter about that shit, so as cool as it is to be able to go "oh cool I have a watch from that brand" it's a reminder that they fucked me over and left me with a relatively expensive product with no protection plan.

So the kickoff meeting for my GFs internship happened today. She got appointed as team leader by the professor. Maybe because she's the only one so far who's taken any responsibility in this project. The only one who can actually use the software required by the entire course. And the only one submitting weekly progress reports as required by the professor. [I]Welp...[/I] Guess the 3 sexist asian dudes on her team had better get used to actually acknowledging her existence now cause now her word is law.

[QUOTE=gk99;51725148]Dumb question, but is the IR sensor bar plugged in/turned on? I assume so but it's worth a check[/QUOTE] It's wireless if that helps. And yes, i do check if its on before using it.

[QUOTE=megafat;51725545]It's wireless if that helps. And yes, i do check if its on before using it.[/QUOTE] Sorry then, your problem has surpassed my area of expertise. Iirc the IR sensor doesn't actually interact with the wii itself, and is actually just a bar of lights, so it should work just fine with wired or wireless.

I ended up oversleeping for work this morning, plus my dogs ran from the house earlier because one of the gates to the backyard had broken open at some point. I spent at least a half-hour chasing after my more-relentless dog before I had to give up.

It's finally stopped raining so I just did laundry. Finally supposed to be a few sunny days so I hope it's dry enough to dry it all. How the fuck do 2 people use so much laundry in less than 2 weeks??? Got a workout bringing the wet and heavy laundry downstairs from the laundry room haha.

I have to go buy a book somewhere to have any chance of finding dimensions for modeling weapons. Also; shady, short URLs. Screw that noise.

Played Resident Evil 7 and i couldn't sleep, damn i have gotten weak with playing horror games

[QUOTE=darth-veger;51726677]Played Resident Evil 7 and i couldn't sleep, damn i have gotten weak with playing horror games[/QUOTE] RE7 does seem the most scariest out of all the Resident Evil games.

People who act like they have a stick up their ass and be a prick for no good reason to seem more mature.

I want to try to convince my dad that Trump and some of the shit he plans to do isn't going to be great, but I can't seem to get my thoughts together correctly to get my points across properly. I wish I was like some of the other guys on here in terms of how much they seem to know about all the political people and events that happened and how they're pretty capable of coherently getting their point across. It really doesn't help that my dad vividly remembers more details (whether or not they're true) from the news he's looked at than I do, which probably makes me look like a massive fool. [editline]25th January 2017[/editline] On the bright side, he supports net neutrality and getting rid of TPP and thinks conversion therapy is bad and etc, but it also both frustrates and confuses me because I keep getting the idea that he thinks that the Trump administration is going to be of any help. Part of me thinks that he's in denial considering all the cabinet members he's appointed. Either that, or he's not getting the perspective that other non-batshit-insane left-wing people have.

I've been waiting about 2 hours for a pizza. They called and said I'd be getting it eventually after they re-make it because it had been sitting out for "a while." Is it rude to not tip in this case? I'm having an internal struggle, here. On one hand, I've [I]been waiting two fucking hours for a single large pizza and 20oz of Pepsi and the only reason they've delivering it in the first place instead of me driving out to pick it up is because we don't have a car at the house right now[/I], but on the other hand I don't want to seem like a dick. [editline]a[/editline] Yeah no we're rapidly approaching a wait time of two and a half hours I'm not paying any more for this than I already have unless they bring me the old pizza too. I've been in and out of the fucking DMV in less time than this. [editline]a[/editline] Called up there and just got my money back and ordered from a different place. I wouldn't mind as much if this was just me eating, but it's not.

my long-term chemistry sub teacher doesn't actually teach us, she just puts notes on the board and expects us to learn on our own. oh, and she was talking to another teacher about how a student had to stay until the end of class to finish the test. [I]gee, I wonder why...[/I]

I keep waking up every fucking morning with a dry mouth. I tried turning my fan off last night to see if that was the cause but no, I still woke up with a dry mouth. I've tried drinking tons of electrolyte drink so I'm rehydrated but that doesnt work either. It's really annoying
