I've always wanted to draw. I've spent the majority of my analyzing, critiquing, and studying my favorite works and artist. And I've spent a similarly long time coming up with my own ideas that I've grown passionate towards.

The problem is that I've only started drawing within the past 5 years. Almost none of my knowledge actually helps me improve so everything I draw just looks like garbage compared to what I've cooked up in my head.

I've tried drawing daily, watching tutorials, and sketching from reference but have only seen mild improvement. So now I'm stuck in this cycle of feeling motivated to draw every month or so, hating what I make for a few days, and putting the pen down till the next spark of motivation.

I know everyone just says you just got to keep at it but it feels like I'm constantly letting myself down. Idk, I want to be great but maybe it doesn't have to be in the arts. But I'm willing to hear solutions.

Seriously, developers have be reheating fromsofts leftovers for far too long. Half of these Geoff showcases are filled with dim and Grey dark fantasy action rpgs with a roll and parried centered combat system. I know elden ring is an incredibly popular game but it gets to a point yall.

I've tried games like elden ring or silksong but they always end with my frustrated and having less fun as I play. It's not necessarily because their hard but I couldn't put my finger on it. That was until I started mina the hollower. At launch I was experiencing similar frustrations. Until I swallowed my pride and turned of losing all your bones on death. And suddenly everything becomes 100x more fun again. I guess I just never enjoyed the losing all your currency as a punishment. For me it just it just added the right amount of stress and irritation to an already difficult genre. Thanks mina the hollower.
