I got one

 

My headphones are broken. I got them for christmas

I tend to break headphones regularly. It's my curse.

 

Have you noticed that the cashiers in the express lanes bag stuff more slowly? It just feels like in the regular aisles they bag the stuff and don't mess around ._. Maybe it's just that they have a second person there to help them half the time though, I don't know...

 

Here in germany we usually don't have someone to do the bagging. The cashier slides it over the scanner, you bag it yourself. And tbh, I'm happy with that - A nearby supermarket had helpers for bagging, with a tip jar. Annoyed the hell out of me. Sure it may be slightly faster because I might not be completely done packing when the cashier is done and I need to pay, but we're talking about a few seconds. And I can't stand anything where tips are expected instead of a thank you for a good service that went beyond what's required anyway. Usually I'd use the lane where nobody was there to help with the packing, even if the line was longer...

 

I might as well scan the items myself as well if they aren't going to bag them.

And we have self-service kiosks in some places. You scan and pack everything.

 

 

Hangovers.

People who brag/talk about hangovers.

I would have broken my pencil in half by now if it weren't for the fact I'm drawing with a mechanical one. Anatomy, proportion, perspective, shading, hands, there isn't a single aspect of drawing that isn't tricky as [bleep]. I must of sunk at least 500 hours practising in the last few months but everything is as tricky as ever.

There is a lot to be said for using your composition to draw attention away from the things that didn't come out quite right. It's less about getting everything right and more about getting it just right enough that people don't notice, or getting it wrong in a way that evokes a certain feeling~

We've been getting spam emails prompting us to register for something, and we just received an apology...in the form of another email <_<. *sigh*

Sitting next to my dad when he's eating, makes soo much noise it sounds like he's munching his way through a bag of rocks, is there really any need?

My father does more or less the same thing. I start to wonder if I do it too though...

I've been thinking about it and I think my problem is I fuss over details too much. When I can't draw something right I obsess over it until I get it correctly. I usually do in the end and I'm sure I'm learning something in the process but I end up burning myself out.

 

When I think about it, my weakness is definitively anatomy and perspective (of limbs etc).  Maybe I should draw comics or something, less details, more about overall shapes.

It's important to keep practicing until you get it right, but look at other people's art. It's never perfect, so you shouldn't expect yours to be perfect either. You should still recognize where your issues are (anatomy), and take measures to improve it (take a course on anatomy in art), but don't let those issues frustrate you.

My roommate shouts when he's on the phone. In Russian.

 

 

It's actually funnier than it is an annoyance.  I'm just mentioning it because I was sitting in my room with my headphones in and he just came in while on the phone and I couldn't hear what I was listening to over him.

Sounds like my father if you replace the Russian with Arabic. He doesn't even need a phone to talk to someone on another continent. 

I hate the thing my metabolism does. If I have to sit in a slightly cold room for a while and then I go out into (normal winter) cold, I feel absolutely freezing to death and shiver half the way home. Not terribly fun lol.

Wow nobody complained for almost a whole month. Allow me to break the streak.

 

So a game art director re-tweeted a fanart I made about a game, saying that he liked it and thought it was interesting. My DA account suddenly got 400 views in a day because of it. I should be happy about it but actually I only feel pressure because I know there's no way I can meet anybody's expectations. Just drawing something semi-decent takes hours of work. I know I sound like a princess and that this is ridiculous but I feel really weird about the whole thing.

I don't suppose you could link to the piece in question? :-P

Don't worry, if you want to test it on a smaller audience just try it on our own Art and Media board!  :rolleyes: :P

I promise we're not going to try our best to get thousands of people to visit your DeviantArt.

We have an art and media board?

I've heard that we have boards dedicated entirely for Runescape content as well.

Whenever I start to type "forum" into my address bar http://forum.tip.it/forum/9-off-topic/ is the first thing that appears.

Same

I draw embarrassing things. You'll find out the weird stuff I'm into by looking at my pictures. But it's not like I don't want people to look at them. So I'll just leave this here and back away slowly. I'm not good, expect nothing except maybe mental scarring.
