@danie: Take a reference, could be from pinterest.
I normally choose an image from pinterest that has good shadows, lighting etc.
[if it doesn't than i adjust it with an adjustment layer].

I then Thumbnail it meaning, i draw a square as large as the picture.
i usually make it small first.
sketch out the reference and get everything together for the sketch.
once im happy with the sketch, i expand the sketch, put down colors, flats on a layer below sketch.
and then a merge it and paint on top of the sketch layer as i just use one layer
to hold myself accountable to finish it and being unable to push ctrl+z for undoing.

@Shadami: my brain is just never satisfied with how my art looks lol.
im not very good at studying.

@danie: right now she be in that ugly stage of art.
but i actually love the ugly stage cause the more i work on it the more it starts
looking like the reference.

but im happy with her eyes.
but blending all i can do is use the blur tool cause i cannot do it how i want to
which is just by pen pressure opacity.

so it'll probably end up looking a bit too soft.

@Bonnie: Awww.
hope you both enjoy the walk then.

@Totalanimefan: Back then i lacked much muscle at all. especially with my knees.
so from then on, till now i went to the store, and i made dinner and i did a lot of chores to build my muscle up in my knees.
and compared to then and now my knees are a lot better as they look bigger and stronger.

but since quarantine be happening i have to make sure to get enough exercise and not lose it all.

@Totalanimefan: but my knees do not look super skinny
so i think it's still good.
especially since we have a lot of stairs in the house
so i go up and down them many times.

as long as you are walking and getting exercise you should be fine.

@Bonnie: my brother in law has a pitbull and she's the sweetest. My daughters lay all over her and she protects the toddlers in the family. Her human sister is 1 and she circles her constantly to make sure she doesn't get hurt.

.....*second thought* Pitbull tails are not harmless though. when they are happy and those things are wagging it hurts if you get caught by it xD but for sure not on purpose. hahaha

@Totalanimefan: that is good.
i usually like places with stairs since if we can't leave the house
stairs are a good way to exercise.
