But drawing takes work. Well, no, drawing doesn't take work, but improving takes work.
I wish I had a tablet.
But I'd probably never use it.
I technically had a tablet at one point but it was small and cheap and broke after 9 months of not-use.
I wish there was a magical way to be as good at drawing as I want to be without actually having to put in the effort to learn how to improve
What a terrible world I live in where I can't just be totally lazy all the time at everything and still succeed
Doesn't help that when I do draw I get extremely self conscious about the drawing because I haven't drawn in forever so I spend like 10 minutes drawing a head, crumple the paper up and throw it in the trash
Granted, I haven't even gotten that far in over six months
Now I'm bumming myself out

This Place is a Cesspool Now
Logged into DeviantArt for the first time in close to a year and very depressed to see it becoming "The Patreon of AI Art." Accounts posting thousands of AI generated images in just a few months, and paywalling a lot of them. They don’t even tag them as being generated, either. Imagine watermarking and paywalling something you made by typing out a single sentence "prompt". Imagine being that egotistical and greedy. Imagine being the kind of stupid clown that pays to look at it! The whole selling point is "anyone" can do this garbage! You can type a sentence, can't you? This is "democratizing art" or whatever their snake oil is. If you're paying for this poison you're getting double tricked! And last I checked, DeviantArt didn’t allow pornography. When I make the Patreon comparison I mean even the free stuff is crossing some serious fetish lines, so I can’t imagine what the paid content looks like. But they get a front page featured slot anyway. Maybe it's because all of them

Boy, how quickly things change in only 9 months. A lot of the links I submitted in the previous journal have changed! So in the interest in keeping this recent, here's an update:
I started selling shirts on RedBubble.
Letsvideogame.com is currently dead, but I have opened bltn.net for my Youtube show. The LetsVideogame Youtube channel still exists, but it's currently finding its purpose.
A lot of people have been bugging me about it for the better part of the year, so I started a Patreon. There's a bunch of stuff you can make me do through that, like art commissions and such. Join the Cool Kids Club today.
And, as always:

ONE YEAR LATER
Just browsing DA and I noticed that it's been exactly one year since my slightly depressing blog about whining about not drawing enough.
Surprise! I still want to draw more. I was actually in Hobby Lobby over Christmas, shopping for a gift for my Mom (she's a big craft nut) and walking through the art supplies made me super super super nostalgic. All of these nice pens and paper and canvasses and paints and guides on proportion and perspective and design. The smell, too. It smelled like art class.
I've drawn a bit here or there, but nothing worth submitting. When I draw nowadays, the thing I get hung up the most on is arms. Where to positio

I hate that anxiety that occurs whenever I draw too. It makes me too cautious and too likely to discard a lot of stuff that was bad, but also a few things that were genuinely good. Hope things have improved in the last few months.
Oh, and a tablet sounds good. I'd get one myself if I weren't a poor college student / actually doing art for a living.
