Irregular corneal astigmatism is often first identified as an irregular reflex during retinoscopy. Often patients have seen many eye doctors, and have been given a variety of contact lens or eyeglasses prescriptions. Visual field testing tends to be normal or show an overall slight depression. ![]() Patients with this diagnosis typically complain of blurred rather than dim vision. This condition may result from contact lens wear, ocular surgery, or intrinsic disease of the cornea such as keratoconus ( Figure 6–2). Irregular corneal astigmatism may be a cause of unexplained decreased visual acuity or monocular diplopia. Ointment at night, punctal plugs, Restasis, and other measures may be helpful if indicated. Patients with intermittent, variable blur and ocular pain/foreign body sensation or other signs of ocular surface disease may benefit from a trial of artificial tears (at least four times a day for several weeks) before (or concurrent with) further neuro-ophthalmic investigation. Tear film stability is also weakened by debris in the tear film, such as the products of chronic blepharitis.Įvidence of ocular surface disease at the slitlamp includes punctuate staining (with topical fluorescein or rose bengal) of the exposed area of the cornea, rapid tear breakup time (observing the fluorescein-stained tear film fall apart prematurely after a blink), deficient tear meniscus (normal adherence of tears along the lower lid margin is minimal or absent), and injection of the conjunctiva in the exposed area between the lids. (Patients often question why artificial tears are recommended when their complaint is “too much tearing”). Tear film dysfunction can result in overproduction of the aqueous component, which fails to adhere to the eye and simply accumulates until it falls over the lower eyelid. Deficiencies in any of the three layers can cause the tear film to break up too soon or evaporate too quickly. This arrangement allows the tear film to distribute evenly over the ocular surface, pulled up as a sheet with each blink. The tear film is complex, consisting of three distinct layers: (1) an inner mucous layer that adheres to the ocular surface, (2) an aqueous layer in the middle that is the thickest layer, (3) an outer lipid layer that retards evaporation. Tear film dysfunction is a very frequent cause of blurred vision, eye pain, red eyes, and tearing. In addition to providing nutrients to the cornea, the tear film provides a smooth surface over the corneal curvature to optimize the optics of the eye. The importance of the tear film in maintaining clear vision is not always appreciated by physicians. Meibomian gland dysfunction and blepharitis can cause destabilization of the tear film and further exacerbate dry eye syndrome ( Box 6–1). Tear film disorders resulting in inadequate tear coverage can actually cause excessive tearing, but this reflex tearing consists of watery tears that fail to adhere to the ocular surface. A foreign body sensation and conjunctival injection are often present, but may not be prominent. The patient’s visual acuity may vary widely between examinations. Sometimes the blurred vision clears momentarily with a blink. Patients frequently describe blurring that begins 2 to 3 minutes into a task requiring concentration, such as reading or driving. Dry eye syndrome is very common in women older than 40 years, but is also associated with collagen vascular disease (Sjögren syndrome and many others), medications, systemic disorders (such as sarcoidosis), and neurological conditions (eg, progressive supranuclear palsy, Parkinson disease, facial nerve palsies). ![]() Tear film disorders, such as dry eye syndrome, commonly cause transient visual blurring that may range in duration from seconds to hours in one or both eyes (see Table 1–3). ![]() It is intended for both system administrators and general users interested in computer security. – Retrieves any system information via WMI, remote registry, file system and service manager.

The cognitive brain concludes that that long shape in the dark is a piece of wood, long after the limbic brain, faster and prudent, has already instructed our body a step back for fear that it is a snake. It deals with our ability to process information, conventionally labeled intelligence. The cognitive brain was formed during the evolution of our species. It communicates through the body and makes it express basic emotions such as fear or pleasure. This emotional brain controls the physiological balance (breathing, heart rate, etc.). The limbic brain (that all mammals have) is related above all to our survival. “Cardiac coherence” also helps to establish harmony between our two brains, the limbic one and the cognitive, so that none takes over the other. ![]() Scientific research lead to conclude that a harmonious (“coherent”) heartbeat helps the brain to fight against stress, anxiety and depression.

Consider the following tips for bringing your ideas to life in digital comic book form: Explore how to create a digital comic book, including formats to use, how to draw with digital tools, and where toĭespite the challenges, learning how to make a comic book online is fun and rewarding. Learning how to make comics digitally can help you realize your dream of becoming a comic book artist and speed up the creation process. Due to internet speeds and illustration software improvements, webcomics and other digital comic formats have become popular in recent years. Plus, we are trying to draw comics here.Writing and drawing your own comic book is a significant undertaking, but many indie creators embrace the challenge. We can get caught up in the details that no one ever really sees. Make sure everything works with the bigger shapes and then render in the tighter refined lines. Another thing I like to pay special attention to is the time to add all those glorious little details.Īs I mentioned before, think like a painter does, large to small. Some styles work better with less and the opposite can be true too of course. I also think that when your inking the work you should experiment with different levels of shadows and cross-hatching. I can look back and see where I may have lost the initial energy of the thumbnail sketch. That is one of the reason I like to save the incremental steps as I work. Just do your best to remember that initial concept. Depending upon your style, rendering can make things appear overly stiff. I like to think about this part as making the art feel solid but not so much that it looks lifeless. This is where the real commitment comes in. Now you get to put those pretty solid lines everywhere. Balancing out the contrast while keeping your focal point In mind is the key. Some surfaces need to look shiny, some need to look gritty. Too much of one or the other can leave the art feeling too stiff or too soft. Use a combination of angles and curves to explain the forms. Cluttering up every square inch of the page can actually hurt the scene. You have to have negative space for the viewers eye to rest. Tighten up the work and add in the details but not everywhere. Chances are if those things are working this stage will be much more fun! Check the perspective, proportions, composition, and gesture. Some artists can envision things a bit better but if you can’t just double check you initial sketch. If you fail to put in the necessary ground work then you have to work harder at this stage. The good news is if you work through the rough sketch properly this part is much easier. ![]() Refining the lines and seeing if I can realize my original vision. Jonah Jameson from Spider-man “Get me Parker!!” Drawing for comics is hard work but it gets much easier when you plan it out! Step 2 – Refining the Pencils If the big shapes make sense then all those amazing details will just be icing on the cake. Try to think big to small as you layout your scene. We tend to overthink it or put details where they don’t belong or will not even get noticed. Not getting caught up in the details too soon.ĭrawing for comics is a tricky thing. I draw them quickly because they are small and very little detail but I also take my time to draw as many as I need to get the composition right. Let me be specific, I take as much time in the thumbnail stage as it takes to know I have a good concept to work from. Drawing for comics isn’t an overnight process, it’s a journey so be ready. That is the reason they make it appear so easy. You are witnessing the collective ability that they have acquired over years and years of hard work. It’s also why it’s so powerful when you see the work of an artist you admire. The point is, whatever works for you is, “The Right Way!” Over time we all get better at skipping steps that once were essential to the goal. Some artists might need to draw things over and over again to get what they want. ![]() People like me at least need to refine things a bit more to stay consistent with my end result. Yes, they do exist and yes, I do want to Karate kick them in the face. Some comic artists can draw a clean image over a very loose sketch and sometimes no sketch at all. Most artists develop the work in this way but not every artist goes about it the same. There are obviously a lot of different ways to create stunning art for comics but the main ones that come to mind are the rough sketch, the pencils or refined lines, and the inks! In this post I want to talk a bit about the primary stages of the drawing process for comics. VitaFlex Technique is performed 3 times up the spinal region of each foot with each essential oil. And when the backs of the nails are in contact, that’s an “insulating” position, turning off the electrical pulse.Ĭombining VitaFlex Technique with the use of various essential oils means that the essential oils are carried with the electrical pulse to the corresponding region of the body. When the nails are in contact, that’s a “firing” position (initiating an electrical pulse to the corresponding organ or region of the body). ![]() When the pads are in contact with the skin, that’s a “neutral” position. This movement means that the giver’s fingers move from pads to nails to backs of nails as part of the rolling motion. Rather than the pressing movement utilised in Western reflexology, VitaFlex Technique uses a unique rolling motion of the hand, often likened to the turning of a door knob. However, VitaFlex Technique is also distinctly different to Western reflexology in the actual hand movement employed. By working on the feet, we are directing energy to the corresponding body organs. It is similar to Western reflexology in the concept that the feet and hands map the organs of the body. VitaFlex Technique is an ancient Tibetan form of reflexology. Because the recipient is usually face up during this step, it means that the giver’s hands are crossed, forming a figure 8 (infinity sign) of energy from giver to receiver. Valor is applied to the soles of the feet, and held (with giver’s left hand to recipient’s left foot, and right hand to right foot). This is a quiet step, involving the essential oil blend “Valor” (or a Valor substitute). But regardless of which form you are watching, you will typically see at least 3 steps performed. With so many potential variations to Raindrop Technique, it’s not surprising that it’s been taught in many different forms throughout the years. If you don’t have all of the essential oils needed, select alternative oils (providing they are Young Living brand, due to the purity). If you can’t perform one of the movements (due to personal limitations, or time limitations), leave it out or perform it in an adapted form.Īdd or substitute additional essential oils into the mix, according to the needs of your recipient. If you don’t have a massage table, it can be performed on a bed or a chair. The beauty of Raindrop Technique is that it can be adapted according to your circumstances. In addition to being performed as a technique in its own right, the various elements of Raindrop Technique can be used to complement most other modalities, including massage (all forms), reflexology, bowen technique, shiatsu, chiropractic and physiotherapy. Raindrop Technique can be performed on both people and animals. Because the essential oils easily penetrate the skin and muscles, the technique works on deep levels of the body without requiring hard pressure or force. ![]() This was inspired by the Native American belief that raindrops falling from a height may purify and cleanse the body and spirit. These are dropped from a height (like rain), so that the oils interact with the physical body as well as the energy field. Raindrop Technique, not ‘Rainbow Technique’ as I have heard it called, derives its name from the art of dripping unadulterated, therapeutic-grade essential oils onto the body. Even though we work on the feet and back only, the essential oils and bodywork techniques used in Raindrop Technique have a holistic effect on the body. This beautiful technique is a synergistic blend of many different health and wellness practices and energy principles, combined into one unique, holistic technique that Young Living call Raindrop Technique. Use these as opportunities for displaying content. Think about your content: depending on what’s in your background image, you might end up with spaces on the image that are darker or lighter or where there’s little if any visual content.So be sure the vibe created by the background image matches what you’re going for.
