I tried calling customer service and just got a useless robot that wouldn't listen to anything I said. The only option is change my address, but my address isn't wrong. I've checked like 5 times now, my address is indeed correct. Will UPS hold it at a facility if the driver fails to find my address again? It says my street number is wrong, I never saw a UPS truck even come up my street today and I live on a highway so it's not like it's a hard road to find. I'm scared of it just getting tossed because it was an expensive package that I've been waiting months for

Draw box. Draw person. Ask for critique. Get told to go back to basics. Draw more boxes. Attempt to draw a person again. Get told to go back to basics. Draw more boxes. Try to draw a person again. Still not good enough, need to go back to basics. When am I gonna be good enough to draw something other than box in white void? Why do I never fucking improve even when I try to do all the correct art things everyone says to do?

There's nothing stopping me physically from doing 1200, I'm a 4'9 woman so it's the proper amount for my body, but my god I cannot quiet the noise. I'm so hungry all the time even when I try to force as much protein as I can into every meal. I've tried OMAD, IF, volume eating, protein maxing, nothing quiets the noise. And it bothers me because I know it's impossible for me to be physically hungry if I ate an hour ago, but mentally my brain is screaming "FOOD FOOD FOOD EAT EAT EAT" at all times of the day and I'm irritable all the time, I keep losing progress and ruining days because my willpower fails, I just don't know how to make it stop

I just hate the physical feeling of fineliner against paper but drawabox requires you to use it and if I don't use fineliner I can't get critiques on it. Are there any similar courses that don't require you to use fineliner? I still suck at drawing boxes, and I really need to master them so I can move on to actually drawing.

I can draw a confident clean line if I'm drawing over a sketch. But sketching with one confident stroke? No chance. I don't have an image in my head of what it's supposed to look like. I've always been the type to build up something on paper and erase, redraw, move stuff around, change things. But that's not good, you're supposed to work in clean, confident lines and I want to make sure I'm not chicken scratching. How do I make one single clean line when I don't even know what my endpoint is supposed to be yet? I can't visualize at all, so it's hard for me to exactly imagine where every line is supposed to go before I have a sketch down.

I've been going in circles and need to lock in and commit to something more linear. I mostly draw people and I enjoy making rendered character arts. But most of the time when I ask for critique on one, the first comment is that I need to stop rendering and go back to basics. So I go back to basics for a while and then try something fancy again, and then I go back to basics again, and again, and I feel like I'm probably deciding to move forward too early. How do you tell when to actually move forward and when it's too soon and you should be focusing on the basics instead?

I'm looking to do some face studies and I'm struggling to find good face references that aren't airbrushed to all hell. I'm looking for references with more dramatic lighting so it's easier to distinguish where the light and shadow falls, specifically. Also, I am looking for more faces that are outside the conventionally attractive white woman loop that tends to happen on Pinterest

Hello all,

My Lenovo Yoga 7 has been experiencing repeated freezes and BSOD with the error code DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL and blue screen viewer told me it's caused by ntoskrnl.exe, but I don't know how to update that. I have to fight my laptop and sometimes force restart 4-5 times just to get it to turn on for more than 2 seconds and when I'm in, I have to enter my bitlocker recovery key and reset my pin every time I want to sign in. Sometimes when I force restart it'll randomly start up like 10 minutes after I tried to turn it on.

I have looked through my device manager and no outdated drives were found. I ran memtest86 and it came back with no errors so it's not a memory problem. SFC also detected no errors, I have reinstalled windows and that also didn't fix it. I tried to run mdsched and that caused another BSOD. I keep getting random freezes that force me to restart to fix them.

I want to try to reinstall BIOS but I don't know how to find that, so if anyone could pass that on to me that would be great.

My Lenovo Yoga 7 has been repeatedly crashing since the last windows update. Device manager does not show any outdated drivers. Errors I have had over the past few days include:

Random freezing where I have to restart

Every boot requires me to enter bitlocker key and reset my pin

Battery light started flashing red but I have not had any other battery problems

Repeated failure to install new update

Chkdsk scan and sfc scan did not show anything

Tried to run mdsched.exe and got a crash and had to force restart

Here is a pastebin of the windows debugger report of the 2 most recent crashes, sorry I can't upload the actual dump files, I keep getting an administrator permission error even though I am the administrator:
