Every other board has their own /general/ and it might be better to post about little known hobbies here, rather than have a new thread that gets 2 replies.

How about horseback riding?

All you need to begin drawing is a pencil and some paper

Feel free to post any drawings of yours in this thread. Illustration, doodle, traditional, digital - anything goes. Discussion on skillbuilding techniques and fair critique of other wizards' work is welcome.

I made this today since I have been watching Mitsudomoe. Not a feat by any means but I wanted to draw something cute to try to relax since all I have been doing is grinding studies and trying to figure things out. Part of me feels like I might be too retarded to grasp things like how shapes are supposed to move in a 3D space.

>>69726
Thank you.
>>69727
Thank you, I took your advice to heart with some of my other stuff and tried to figure out how to deconstruct pieces from artists I like. I am still struggling a lot and almost gave up today while following some course I felt like I was ramming my head against the wall with.

 No.69738

It's easier to draw nature and landscapes than I though, often just using a nice brush and doing simple strokes on a canvas can create the effect of something complex, I have Bob Ross to thank for this realization, it's not that difficult and I'm having fun.

Hello everyone. I stopped drawing three years ago, but I want to start again..

>>69730
>Not a feat by any means but I wanted to draw something cute
It is a valid feat though, I notice improvement, the earthy color palette feels warm and cute. And the shoulders and torso have a better anatomy, although the eyes might be too big for the head, Its still an overall improvement though. So keep going anon!
>I might be too retarded to grasp things like how shapes are supposed to move in a 3D space.
Same lol, I heard that "construction" (drawing tons of cubes and spheres from different angles) improves that aspect, but i haven't tested that yet, so idk if it works.
>I took your advice to heart
I glad that my silly words and tips inspired someone out there lol, Also speaking of tips, have you tried using multiple layers? cause I noticed some blank spaces in the hair, it's a minor mistake but using masks and layers could solve that problem.
>I am still struggling a lot and almost gave up today
Yeah, that struggle is real and its very annoying, The same happened to me, At first I felt overwhelmed and thought that drawing was way too complicated for me, but then I started to "let loose" and stopped being so worried about everything, Now drawing has become a very liberating and fulfilling hobby. So I recommend you to let the pencil run wild and the ink flow freely!
>>69738
>It's easier to draw nature and landscapes than I though,
Really? I've tried and I suck at it, I need more practice structures, do you have any tips or resources that might be useful? Thanks in advance.
>>69740
> I stopped drawing three years ago, but I want to start again..
3 years really? Those look really great anon. If I were to stop drawing, even for a few days my abilities would immediately implode lol.

Are any wizards interested in astrology? I've recently got into it and become very passionate about it. It's definetely true, and i've also started to developing my own theories that i'm hopefully going to refine with time.

its kind of hard to do casually it's complicated. If you want a really lazy thing:
1. go to https://horoscopes.astro-seek.com/birth-chart-horoscope-online
2. put in date of birth, time, and birth city (don't bother if you don't have the exact time)
3. save the page as a pdf
4. put it in claude or some ai thing
5. ask the most significant parts of your chart

the reason they had particular astrologers do readings is just because it's fairly complex. Things like sun sign being all people talk about is basically useless IMO (historically they would have used the ascendent as the "sign" when someone asked)
if anyone wants to post their chart from this I can give a quick reading (just enter it on astro-seek then click the button that says Hide birth data under the chart)

>>69627
>>67793
succubi being the ones into it is largely a product of it being hijacked by new-agers in the 19th century, they are basically just so fucking retarded and wrong they aren't even worth talking about. As I said above anyone saying just their sun sign is just totally out of touch.
Only in the past couple decades have we started translating the classical greek/medieval texts and that more traditional form has gotten much more popular. It's also basically all men doing the translations and that wrote those thousands of years ago.

 No.69700

One thing I always wanted to know, does astrology also influence animal personalities based on when they are born, or only humans? Why or why not?

It's just kinda weird to think that one planet being more to the left or more to the right when I was born influences whether I grow up introverted or extroverted.

 No.69723

I've been studying astrology for a year now, focusing on horary astrology. The problem is that I don't have anywhere to practice. I was thinking about using this thread, but I don't think it would be the right use.

Just gave the Enchiridion another quick read since its short, despite a lot of it being old and inapplicable (to me) the heart of philosophy never changes. I was reminded that iv been living in accordance with some of the stoic strategy in it for quite some time and I wouldn't give it up for any other way of being that I have come across.

How? i dont get it.
>We cannot control the external events around us; we can control ourselves. It is not things that trouble us, but our judgments about things.
Sound Buddhist and Taoist to me.
I remember reading something about the buddhist and chinese philosophers of how they see the relationship we have with things, rather than the things themselves. You don't hate people, but rather the relationship you have with those people or things. The problem is that we don't see it and we are being deceived.
>Never call yourself a philosopher, nor talk a great deal among the unlearned about theorems, but act conformably to them.
Yep, never call you a awaken up buddha or something. live based on your own actions, because titles are useless and do not count as merit.
