You’ve heard of “don’t monetize your hobbies”; get ready for "don’t master your hobbies".
Your hobbies are here to help you decompress and have fun. They do not have to be disciplines you toil over for expertise, unless that is something you genuinely enjoy doing.
It’s okay to enjoy language-learning without ever becoming fluent, or even conversational. It’s okay to like playing guitar even if you only know a few clumsy songs. You can read books and never finish them, bowl without ever scoring even halfway to perfect. We’re here to explore and play, and we cannot do that if we’re chasing perfection in everything we do.
Guys. You do not know HOW LONG it took me to edit this. 0_0 Camtasia couldn't handle it all at once (I guess the files were too big?), so I had to split the full video into 4 chunks, render those individually, then put them all together in the timeline and render that. Not very convenient. Also, I updated my intro and outro, what do you think :)? I'll post a few separate videos with all my previous intros and outros. I'll even show you one that I never used in a video :3 In 2015, I'd watch speedpaints (mostly by Anasonyc) of people's characters from Animal Jam. I wished I could draw digital art, had a tablet, and had overall good drawing skills to recreate my own outfits from AJ and onto my computer screen. Now that my skills have improved since then, and got my 2 year old drawing tablet (I've had my tablet since 2017 but rarely used it), and SAI to work, I have fulfilled my younger self's dream. :D This is the longest time I've ever spent on a drawing (almost 10 hours o.o), let alone a digital piece, because I like doing traditional most of the time. I see a few issues with it, but are minor ones at most that aren't distracting. Also, I put a swirl in the background for a PFP kind of feel, though I'm not sure if I'll be making this my profile picture. (Maybe, maybe!)

One of the Vindicated AU drawings from December! Poor Martin =(
Snuggly trolls :3
I got so many more trolls sketches in my books (plural because I’m cooking so much they’re getting full) but I’m a busy bee without time to scan them all at once, so for now you get drip fed 😂

You know what I’ve realized? I’ve been having this trend of getting back into movies/shows/etc. that I watched as a kid. Wild Kratts, Trolls-
I guess whatever you’re influenced by in your childhood will stick with you forever, eh? 😆
