My not even one year old glasses just snapped in half, while I cleaned them. I already noticed a crack a few days ago and today they just snapped in freaking half. +200€ and they break in half like that?! I am really blind without my glasses and ofc that happens just before we go to holidays. I'm glad that the superglue is able to hold them together right now and I managed to make it look like there is nothing really broken from the outside, but man.. I can't afford glasses just like that right now. Baby stuff is expensive enough
This is a lil late but-
I've had this damn near same situation, my expensive glasses broke in half right in the nose bridge part as I was cleaning them. If it was a missing leg I could have worn them, but no, the probably most important part broke. Also, for some expensive glasses the frames around the lense broke too. I saw your other post about super glue, I did that to mine too. It held for a while but overtime sweat and cleaning them and such made the glue weak and they broke. I have terrible vision without my glasses as well, so I literally had to squint at everythin.
Regarding costs, is there a place you can go that does them cheaper? I usually went to the eyeglasses place (VisionWorks) but due to how expensive they were I got my next pair at a Walmart, so not like a legit optometrist glasses place, but, hey, waaaaaay less expensive. Frames were 20$ instead of the 100+ they are at VW. I know you prob don't have either of those places where you live, but I use them as examples.
Also, if you can bring in your prescription, you can knock the price down a little bit since you don't need to get an eye exam again. It's not alot, but it still saves some money.
I messed up on the eyes and while outlining something (and maybe before that). I don’t think it is too noticeable with all the stuff I am drawing around it but it is noticeable to me and making me want to start over completely even though i got a lot done already and some were a pain to draw and outline.
Also late to this but-
Whenever I mess up on a drawing but already got so much done, I continue on with the drawing cause 1 I'm stubborn and 2 not all drawings will be perfect. There are always bound to be mistakes, which is okay, cause we can learn from those.
Once I finish the drawing I also save it for later, like months later. I use it as a redraw thing. If I find an old piece of work I can redraw it and compare the old vs new version to see improvement/change of style ect...
We are also our hardest critics. We scrutinize every detail and can see everythin 'wrong' but many other people won't see the mistake. I've seen artist be like 'don't look too hard at *this* it's messed up' and even when I really look at it, I can't tell what they 'messed up' on, it looks fine to me.
If you're doing traditional art, there's this neat thing called graphite paper. The way it works is that you do your initial sketch on a scrap peice of paper. You then place the graphite paper on the sketch and trace over what you like, then place the graphite paper on your final drawing medium and trace over the graphite paper with somethin hard. This will transfer the graphite onto your new medium. Kinda a long process but very handy for traditional stuff, esp when you can't do alot of sketching on your medium (like canvas, some mediums don't erase well and sometimes pencil doesn't erase well).
If you can't find graphite paper, an alternative is to make your sketch, then COVER the back with pencil. Like, absolutely go ham on that. Now you put your sketch on your final medium, and trace HARD over what you like on your sketch. This will transfer the pencil (graphite) from the back of the paper into your new medium. Best part is, the part that does transfer over will be light, so erasing it won't be too much of a problem.
Hope that helps some!
. I’ll definitely look into that
