I'm overwhelmed

I'm overwhelmed

As the title says I am completely overwhelmed mainly from all the information im getting about how to start drawing as a beginner. I gotten told to learn do fundamentals no matter how borning, don't do fundamentals and just draw for fun, don't just draw from fun or else you won't improve, read this book, focus on one thing, do anatomy, anatomy is too hard for a beginner, watch this video specifically, videos will only confuse you, and so much more

I really do want to learn how to draw but with all this stuff out there I get overwhelmed and feel horrible about all that I draw, is there any genuine way to improve that isn't complex? (Sorry if its a dumb question)

I'm at a loss on what to do

I genuinely can't see any appeal in my drawing or see any positive on it, I cant even really improve my art either since I struggle on things that are trying to teach me such as drawabox or even just drawing stickfigures for gesture drawing.

I just really don't know what to do since I swear AI art is starting to look better than my own drawing.

Is this a good place to start for a beginner?

(I keep most of my lore on here so sorry if its cluttered)

I'm new to worldbuilding and this is my first serious attempt at creating a fantasy setting. This document is still a WIP, and I'm mainly looking to find out if the core ideas are good enough before I spend a lot more time working on this.

Does this seem like a good starting point for a beginner? Are there any parts that should be changed at all?

I really appreciate all advice :)

How would I improve this?

Filet actually got a B on the hybrid grading that gojicenter did but the issue was with the basilo and the great white mixing together, since they both swim in different ways

I wanna get rid of the basilo from him but i don't know what to fix him with since im kinda in a creative rut right now, so any advice on what to give Filet besides Basilo would be appreciated :)

Still struggling

I've posted on here a couple times before but I still think I need help.

I've tried watching tutorials and even tried fundamentals (I ABSOLUTELY SUCK AT THEM) but nothing sticks.

I've been trying to not compare my art to others since I am still incredibly new to drawing but I really cant see any slight improvement from where I began from.

Honestly Im starting to lose hope on how I can improve other than just spending long hours on a drawing (since I don't have that kind of time) but I know i need to improve so is there some kind of advice that may help someone like me?

Confused on drawing

(This above is literally the peak of drawing abilities)

I have just recently started to draw in hopes of getting better however I am absolutely overwhelmed by the amount of stuff I am told I have to do to get better at drawing.

I've heard stuff like drawing cubes, cylinders, sketches, just practice, do a bit of everything, focus on one thing, draw certain body parts, Draw what you like, Force yourself to draw boring stuff for practice and much, much more.

I don't have the time in a day to work long periods on drawing so I can't really just do it for hours on end, so my main question is; is there anything definitive that will get a beginner like me to be any better at drawing since sometimes I just wanna quit because of how ugly some of my drawings are
