HOW DO GOU EVEN MAKE YOUR ART LOOK LIKE SOFT COOKIES WITH LOTS OF CHOCOLATE CHIPS,,,, HOW??????¿??

(btw i left yir server becuaz i realized your server waz 16+,, but il be bac on my birthday!!! im turning 16 on january 19!!!((

(ty for respecting the rules and my boundaries! i generally keep all my socials 16+ for my own comfort and im glad you can understand <3) but awa nonetheless thankyou for the compliments! for anyone curious about how i create the soft look in my art i think theres a few things that contribute to it; - i rarely use fully opaque lineart, i draw all my lines using a transparency/pressue brush and i often use a thicker linestyle than others too, i think this helps lend itself to line weight and depth but also helps accentuate softer areas where the lines are really light and round! - i use a soft-edged brush for shading, i turn the hardness down to pretty much 0% and paint soft shapes and gradients to map out the general lighting with blend modes - i ALSO use a soft-edged brush for rendering-- after laying out the lights and darks i go in with a smaller but still soft brush to add details on a sepearate layer above the lineart, this can often result in me sometimes overlapping the lines a little and creating that fluffy look! i think these things are maybe subtle but they help a lot to generally reduce hard edges in the piece and reduce line intensity- lineart is of course important to a piece but i dont treat it as the focus, its more of a guide to the edges and shadows more than anything, if that makes sense :3

[transgenderer]

feel like different material could maybe elevate my linestyle stuff but it already takes foreeeeever and im worried something slower would render it stale. like stagnant water

How to Build Data Visualizations with Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly

How to Build Data Visualizations with Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly Data visualization is a crucial step in the data analysis process. 

It enables us to uncover patterns, understand trends, and communicate insights effectively. 

Python offers powerful libraries like Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly that simplify the process of creating visualizations. 

In this blog, we’ll explore how to use these libraries to create impactful charts and graphs. 

1. Matplotlib:

 The Foundation of Visualization in Python Matplotlib is one of the oldest and most widely used libraries for creating static, animated, and interactive visualizations in Python. 

While it requires more effort to customize compared to other libraries, its flexibility makes it an indispensable tool.

Key Features: Highly customizable for static plots Extensive support for a variety of chart types Integration with other libraries like Pandas Example: Creating a Simple Line Plot import matplotlib.

import matplotlib.pyplot as plt

# Sample data years = [2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020] values = [25, 34, 30, 35, 40, 50]

# Creating the plot plt.figure(figsize=(8, 5)) plt.plot(years, values, marker=’o’, linestyle=’-’, color=’b’, label=’Values Over Time’)

# Adding labels and title plt.xlabel(‘Year’) plt.ylabel(‘Value’) plt.title(‘Line Plot Example’) plt.legend() plt.grid(True)

# Show plot plt.show()

2. Seaborn:

 Simplifying Statistical Visualization Seaborn is built on top of Matplotlib and provides an easier and more aesthetically pleasing way to create complex visualizations. 

It’s ideal for statistical data visualization and integrates seamlessly with Pandas. 

Key Features:

 Beautiful default styles and color palettes Built-in support for data frames Specialized plots like heatmaps and pair plots 

Example:

 Creating a Heatmap

import seaborn as sns import numpy as np import pandas as pd

# Sample data np.random.seed(0) data = np.random.rand(10, 12) columns = [f’Month {i+1}’ for i in range(12)] index = [f’Year {i+1}’ for i in range(10)] heatmap_data = pd.DataFrame(data, columns=columns, index=index)

# Creating the heatmap plt.figure(figsize=(12, 8)) sns.heatmap(heatmap_data, annot=True, fmt=”.2f”, cmap=”coolwarm”)

plt.title(‘Heatmap Example’) plt.show()

3. Plotly: 

Interactive and Dynamic Visualizations Plotly is a library for creating interactive visualizations that can be shared online or embedded in web applications. 

It’s especially popular for dashboards and interactive reports. Key Features: Interactive plots by default Support for 3D and geo-spatial visualizations Integration with web technologies like Dash 

Example: 

Creating an Interactive Scatter Plot

import plotly.express as px

# Sample data data = {  ‘Year’: [2010, 2012, 2014, 2016, 2018, 2020],  ‘Value’: [25, 34, 30, 35, 40, 50] }

# Creating a scatter plot df = pd.DataFrame(data) fig = px.scatter(df, x=’Year’, y=’Value’, title=’Interactive Scatter Plot Example’, size=’Value’, color=’Value’)

fig.show()

Conclusion 

Matplotlib, Seaborn, and Plotly each have their strengths, and the choice of library depends on the specific requirements of your project. 

Matplotlib is best for detailed and static visualizations, Seaborn is ideal for statistical and aesthetically pleasing plots, and Plotly is unmatched in creating interactive visualizations.

OOL Attacker - Running a Lasso Regression Analysis

For this project it was used the Outlook on Life Surveys. "The purpose of the 2012 Outlook Surveys were to study political and social attitudes in the United States. The specific purpose of the survey is to consider the ways in which social class, ethnicity, marital status, feminism, religiosity, political orientation, and cultural beliefs or stereotypes influence opinion and behavior." - Outlook

Was necessary the removal of some rows containing text (for confidentiality purposes) before the dorpna() function.

This is my full code:

Output:

Number of non-zero coefficients: 54 Number of zero coefficients: 186 training data MSE: 0.11867468892072082 test data MSE: 0.1458371486851879 training data R-square: 0.29967753231880834 test data R-square: 0.18204209521525183

Top 10 coefs:

PPINCIMP 0.097772 W1_WEIGHT3 0.061791 W1_P21 0.048740 W1_E1 0.027003 W1_CASEID 0.026709 PPHHSIZE 0.026055 PPAGECT4 0.022809 W1_Q1_B 0.021630 W1_P16E 0.020672 W1_E63_C 0.020205

Conclusions:

While the test error is slightly higher than the training error, the difference is not extreme, which is a positive sign that the model generalizes reasonably well.

Also in another note, the drop in R-square between training and test sets suggests the model may be overfitting slightly or that the predictors do not fully explain the response variable's behavior.

In the attachments I present the Regression coefficients, allowing to verify which features or characteristics are the most relevant for this model. Both PPINCIMP and W1_WEIGHT3 have the biggest weight. In the second attachment we can select the optimal alpha, the vertical dashed line indicates the optimal value of alpha.

The program successfully identified a subset of 54 predictors from 240 variables that are most strongly associated with the response variable. The moderate R-square values suggest room for improvement in the model's explanatory power. However, the close alignment between training and test MSE indicates reasonable generalization.
