Wisdom of the day: learning a skill (such as drawing) is like playing a roguelike or souls game for the very first time.

You'll fail over and over and over, decide to quit, come back, fail harder, wonder if you're even making any progress, FINALLY get through a giant hurdle only to go face first into a wall. At some point, the only thing keeping you is PURE SPITE.

Then you finish it, feel satisfaction but you also realize that there's loads of stuff that you missed along the way. You do that, but this time you know how to avoid most traps and problems, but you will still get beaten, ESPECIALLY when you think you finally got gud.

TLDR; perseverance and paying attention are the most important things when learning any skill
