This will be the last thing I put up here for a while, though I'm feeling more hopeful that the last time.
I tried drawing something minimalistic and low-effort, to make myself draw something,
I tried drawing things I think are pretty, to make myself happy with what I'm drawing.
But ultimately, I ran into the same problem as always: I suck at drawing, so whenever I draw something, I'm unhappy with it.
Also, specifically in terms of the sketches, there was kind of no point even putting them online?
Like at least with the comic I was attempting to begin a story, which would potentially develop in interesting ways that people might actually be interested in.
But when I gave up on the comic and just started drawing sketches, it didn't even have that. It was just worse versions of art that already existed.
So I'm going to stop posting anything here until I have something worthwhile to post.
And in the meantime, I'm going to learn to draw.
My goal is to complete the Drawabox course, and one of their strict requirements is that at least 50% of your time spent drawing is spent drawing purely for fun, not for learning
This is, as he says at the start of the course, the hardest part of Drawabox for most people (including myself I expect).
So that is where the page of sketches comes in, it represents my first hour or so of drawing "for the sake of drawing" (but really for the sake of following the rules of drawabox).
Here's hoping this whole drawing thing gets easier eventually, and that next time I put something on this website it is something worthwhile and well-made.

Also! I recently ported my minimalist Tetris clone to the web, and you can play it here!
It is written in c++ with raylib, and ported to web using emscripten. If you have any feedback, uhhh... I really gotta get a way for people to contact me huh? Idk yell into the void and I might hear you.

Also also! I made an rss feed for the site, so you could subscribe to it, I guess (it's not like I want you to or anything, b-bakka...)

Until next time, whenever that may be.
