((not gonna say it, not gonna say it))
(no, I'm gonna say)
I hate solving "problems" the topic, really I do...

Update
The exam score is 96.25 🎉💐
from 2 days before the exam and I discovered Moominvalley because I was bored :) also I'm really into cozy cartoons and trying to find something to watch. If you have recommendations please just shoot to me.

Gonna be studying like this to get into Yale Law School.
This is an old photo that shows my determination to study intensely on a topic :')

The buildings in my uni were giving the vibe of Soviet Russia buildings and when I was studying I felt quite awkward.

Hi. I've been struggling to come up with the needed downpayment for my school this semester. I've tried selling things online but theyre not enough. I am already in my 4th yr hoping to enroll this semester so I can proceed to internship next sem. If you need any proof of my university and existence, I'll gladly share them. So please.
Any amount will do. Thank you for your kindness in advance. 🙏🩷

some days are just passing like this and you have nothing to do to collect your pieces of energy around your body and mind...

Anyone to know the floor time? :)
There is something special about sitting on the floor when you are tired, want something new and want to calm yourself "down".
{Çınar}
With taking care of yourself, of course :')

Don’t lower your standards. Increase the effort.
the site of memory - toni morrison 💌
With my books, with my exam notes, with my loads of Chrome tabs :') Currently I'm preparing for an English exam that is necessary for my master's applications. Pray for me pleaseee :)))
Additionally, I need to declare my love for the yellow light because it changes the whole aura of the room, especially the desk. For me, it feels like home and I feel safe somehow.

the effort and the order...
I had such a hectic day today. I had to present my science project and the amount I stress I've had since last night was immense. But it's all done now so I think I'm gonna take some rest today. But I will catch with my studies by rising early in the morning. 🥹
Wish me luck <3
Reading breaks are the best breaks, especially when you crave for touching and smelling books after a long exposure of screens.
The book is about Polyvagal Theory, about our neural structure, and I'm already loving it. Thanks to this book, I am aware of my reactions, my body and broken schemes I have lol.

"Approved." "Accepted." "Congratulations."
It's gonna be worth it.
From my last assignments of undergraduate degree.
My tactic for article based assignments is that reading the whole article first, then scanning the whole based on the prompt, and finally marking the very important and selected parts and starting to write with a detailed draft.
Also, sorry for my messy table :)

From the beginning of my clinical psychology internship!
It was online but I learned a lot. This is the CBT part of the internship and now I have to write an internship report :')

Welcome to a post I've written and deleted over and over again!
I've been feeling withdrawn from everything lately, and I guess it's not an illusion because I've also received feedback that supports that. I am going through a period where my desire (perhaps my need) for solitude is intensifying. In times like these, I don't feel like talking. I say yes or no to everything that is said. Because I can't hear what's being said.
I agree with myself that a little seclusion would be good. Of course by studying :))

I've learned that very late but I appreciate myself to learn and act accordingly :')

‘A messy note is better than no note at all’
This quote has helped me study tremendously.
I noticed I was always comparing my study notes with people’s. I wouldn’t want to solve from my head because I don’t want mistakes.
Not anymore, the shackles are gone 🤣🤣🤣
@dimiclaudeblaigan asked for a tutorial on how to begin drawing. Good news! If you can draw a funky looking stick man, you have already started!
I think that stick people are a great starting point for artists because of the things you can learn from them that will be important later on.
If you are able to draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can easily put together a stick person.
Congratulations! You have started to draw. :)
A stick person is a very minimal artistic representation of a real life person. It is simple yet recognizable, and is widely used in art, media, and signage.
But what can a stick person teach us about drawing people that look more like… well, people? Lets have a look!
By simply adding a few more lines, we can add a pair of eyes and a mouth. Maybe even a little triangle nose! Or half circles for ears. We can now draw a face, which provides a basis for all sorts of expressions.
These simple additions can allow us to explore the wide range of human emotion and individuality.
This may seem like the basics of the basics. But that is what we want! In order to get to the point where we are able to draw complex, elaborate representations of humans and objects, we will need to start with simple shapes like lines and circles and build our understanding from there.
For instance, lets give our stick person some cool new features, such as hands and feet. I chose little squiggly circles to represent hands, and triangles to represent feet.
We can go a step further and modify the body of the stick person to include shoulders, hips, elbows and knees. These parts of the human body are quite complex in real life But here, all we need to do is add a few simple lines and dots to our stick person.
The lines provide some additional structural elements to our stick person's body, which are the shoulders and the hips. The dots indicate the points of articulation - elbows and knees, the places where the arms and legs bend!
Now we can use our stick person to show us an even wider range of human movement, action, and expression.
Our little drawing of a human being is evolving! All it took was adding a few more lines and shapes here and there.
By elongating some of the existing lines and making the head an oval instead of a circle, we can give our stick person proportions that resemble that of a real life human.
By this point, we have managed to add more complexity to our stick person simply by using our ability to draw lines, circles, and other basic shapes!
These basic ideas are the building blocks that will enable us to create more complex shapes.
The next part may be a considerable step up if you are absolutely new to drawing, but I have decided to include it in order to show you how complex objects like the human body can be built from shapes that are a bit more complex than circles and lines.
For example. Two ovals and a rectangle can be combined to create a cylinder.
Six squares can be combined to create a cube, or a box. Here, each square is distorted slightly depending on which way the cube is facing.
Note that the back faces of the cube and the bottom of the cylinder are hidden. These shapes allow us to visualize that which should not normally visible.
A sphere from all perspectives can be represented by a circle. But we can make it more like a sphere by adding lighting and shadow if we so desire.
Cubes, cylinders, and spheres are examples of 'solid shapes' because they consist of 3 dimensions.
Lets see how these solid shapes can be used to compose the human body.
By stacking three cylindrical objects, we can create a torso. Two spheres have been added to form shoulders, while a smaller cylinder forms the neck.
An arm is an alternating sequence of spheres and cylinders connected together. Note that the hand has been simplified for this example.
We can apply these solid shapes to the rest of the body to give us a more recognizable representation of the human form. It doesn't even have to be perfect. And just like that, our stick figure now has a silhouette that is unmistakably a person!
In the above examples, notice that we kept the stick person at the beginning while building up the shapes and solids around it. This is because the stick person serves as a guide for positioning the body and its various parts -> also known as posing.
You can do the same thing to everyday objects! Here, I drew a wine glass by stacking these three dimensional solid shapes.
The cup and its contents are two ovoid shapes that were cut in half. The stem is a very thin cylinder shape. The base is a cylinder with a slightly wider bottom.
Solid shapes help inform us how objects and parts of the human body may appear from different perspectives.
For example, a sphere can be used to demonstrate how the human head appears when looking up or down, turned to the side, or tilted at an angle.
With these examples, I hope I have managed to convinced you that if you can draw a circle and a couple of lines, you can draw a person! You just have to train your eye to recognize the simple shapes within complex objects. Try it with everyday objects as well! Or even your favourite media! A drawing subject can be as simple or as complex as you envision it to be.
Once you have mastered that, there are many aspects of drawing you can explore from here that may require you to seek additional resources or a fellow artist's advice.
Last of all, remember that drawing is an iterative process. Even if you draw something correct the first time, you will need to draw it again and again to get it right all times! And by making small changes like the ones we explored in this tutorial, your drawings will gradually transform!
I hope what I've demonstrated here are enough to provide the basics of how to get started with drawing objects and people, and also to help refresh more experienced artists. :) Hopefully I didn't go too off topic with what was requested, and let me know if there are any more questions I can answer.
Cheers :3
Ah I missed my old study space...
My desk was wide and free. I could fit many things sometimes but when I wanted spacious, it was what I needed.

Studying learning with a cup of tea :')
{Çınar}
Took me until about halfway through college before I realized “study” means “play with the material in a variety of ways until you understand it” and not just “read the assigned chapters and do the homework” and I think that probably should have been discussed at some point prior to that.
