I just want to make people happy with my art. Money is secondary when I can afford it. Sometimes I can't and that sucks. People who try to weasel art out of me through manipulation are constant. You need to actively work againt bad vibes, and not let it erode your mind over time.

Sometimes I don't enjoy it. The double edge sword or turning your passions into a money making venture is nice, but it has drawbacks. I do not like spending my time contemplating how to maximize the value of my art. It led me to depression. I'm still working on that stuff. Its hard and its draining.

Instant Pot Pressure Cookers have a rice setting and those ones definitely cook rice much better and fluffier (with stainless steel pots).
One appliance for everything, even slow cooking!

Draw fan art. Learn through imitation. Copy and trace to your hearts content. Its only stealing if you try to claim it as your own and decieve people. Not everything you draw needs to be finished, not everything needs to be posted. Accumulate experience. Grind XP via Sonic mpreg fanart.

The greatest 'hot tip' I got is that you gotta accept that the thing you are drawing will likely not be correct the first time you draw it. Get comfortable with the idea of looking at your bad art, and then fixing it. If a drawing is trash, then scribble over it in red until you understand why.

That shall work lol

Honestly, my favorite for ambient/atmosphere is usually in the vaporware real, called Stevia Sphere/Glaciaere. I love their music so much, it puts me in a state-of-mind.
