It’s been a year since I decided to invest in myself in art. Started with buying a PC connected tablet (pictured) and within a month or so getting a phone that comes with a pen. The phone has made a world of difference as it eliminated the barriers between my busy life and art. Join a conference call early, draw. Waiting at the doctor’s office, draw. Watching something with my wife that she enjoys but I’m not excited about, draw.
Totally worth it and the art I’ve made on this little phone sometimes gets close to artists I admire and have wish I could be like.
If you’re thinking you want to get better at art maybe eliminate barriers and do your art daily.
If you’re a reader, the book Atomic Habits has a ton of great ideas. It’s what inspired me to get the tablet and then the phone.
Side note, I just noticed the Yuzu logo is visible. I own a switch and buy all my games. They just run like crap on the switch and the hardware is pretty mid overall. I mostly play switch games on my Steam Deck, but the laptop (connected to the PC tablet) and desktop also have Yuzu on it as well.
Psh. I doubt anyone here would have blamed you for playing on emulators regardless.
That’s a good point. I’m used to old people, probably not many of us here.
