It's a retaliatory non-sense filling by feminists because the Republicans had some forms of hormonal contraception removed from the list medications paid for by the state through public health assistance or efforts to define a person as the zygote created at conception. :blobshrug:

Also, there was some effort to remove erectile dysfunction medications from the list of medications subsidized by public funding because the other side didn't want to pay for menstruation products.

Gotta get the bears and Sasquatch in that edit :blobderp:

You should @ a moderator and talk to them about it.

It was never easy. Those flash animations don't look the way they do because the old artists lacked time or imagination.

To reach their heights you must ascend! :brain3:

@nprofile1q...

I dunno man, it just feels like the AI animations are really detracting from the quality of your work.

@nprofile1q...

I'd actually say less line weight. Your sketches tend to use solid black lines so

I'd set that to brown then use the pressure curve to darken it to black or near black at max pressure and light brown at its lowest.

This way you can practice using light strokes to give volume to hair and can clearly see the difference in intensity while practicing depth of field and perspective.

@nprofile1q...

Another is the pen control you mentioned, you want to start with light pressure, then press a bit harder and finish lightly. This way you can blend your lines together rather than repeating the same line searching for the one you want to keep.

And last I'd say you should try for the most simple shape you can to construct your characters. You seem to try to draw long segments as one stroke and, unless you're really practiced doing this, it will make your characters look stiff.

@nprofile1q...

It's the line weight, if all of your lines are of the same intensity then they're all competing with one another and this makes your work look flat.
There's a few things that can help with this First, you need to modify the pressure sensitivity of your brushes so you can apply lighter lines to less important elements and direct the viewer's attention where you want it to go
If your pen control is lacking you can always clone the brush and modify the size and pressure sensitivity

@nprofile1q...

Clearly, it's a calling :klee_pray:

@nprofile1q...

You're making it too special. Artistic technique is a skill and any skill can be learned.

You've tried long and sincerely to improve and if you're not making progress, as hard as it is to hear, it's probably time to hire someone to teach you.

@nprofile1q...

I once heard an animator explain it as:

You need to start with the motion, if you start with the object and try to put it in motion it'll always come across as stiff and lifeless

I think your problem is that you start with a pose and then try to put life into it with details.

Perhaps if you convey the emotion through the pose first you'll find what you're looking for.
