Hi all!

I'm more interested in the opinion of 2D artists, but I think the problem is common and I will be grateful for any answer :)

Introductory part: Lately I really like the idea of drawing - the ability to transfer the real world or your thoughts into a drawing - something akin to magic.

But since childhood, this was not given to me, there was no talent or attraction, and until recently even the idea of drawing did not attract me in any way, except perhaps “it’s funny, it wouldn’t be bad to be able to do it,” but there was no thought of learning.

I am a rather lazy person, and besides, most of my energy goes to work with an unstable schedule. The last working day started at 8 am and ended at 10 pm and this is not an uncommon situation. After work, there is little energy left to do something other than quickly scroll social media or play a little a RPG or a visual novel.

The last couple of attempts to start learning ended quite quickly either due to difficulties in finding good courses in 2D drawing or an unexpected rush at work or some other situation that drains energy.

But the idea of learning how to draw still doesn’t leave me, even though I haven’t been able to start learning and practicing.

Main part: I'm interested in the experience of people with a situation similar to mine, but who were able to overcome this barrier and start learning on an ongoing basis and achieved significant results.

What was your source of inspiration? What was the magic kick in the ass that made it possible to overcome laziness, fatigue and the feeling that all this is useless and force yourself to study? Maybe it was a successful course or a film, book, music or painting? Or for those who like a more structured approach, did you manage to create a convenient plan or strategy for practice and learning that fits well into your daily schedule?

I understand that each situation is a personal experience and it may not be suitable for anyone else, but it is still interesting to know and there is a small hope that some part of your experience may be suitable for me or someone else who sees this post.

Thanks to everyone who read all this to the end :)

Hi all!

I'm looking for a visual novel with the possibility of romance (male/female or female/female), but no cringe or overly helpful characters.

For example, I really don’t like it when some characters treat you like a master or you are the dream of their whole life and they are ready to cook for you all the time, devote their whole life to you and are eveready to wipe your ass...

And of course, it shouldn't be anything like: "I can't stop looking at / touching your boobs, because I have no control over it, it's my nature, I am a man" or "I, of course, remember that you asked me not to remind you that I I saw you masturbate and not say that word, but you masturbated, even though I promised not to say the word masturbation" and so on.

The closest to what I need are PixelFade games: Ace Academy, Crystalline, Ethereal Enigma. Also "Katawa Shoujo", "Lay a Beauty to Rest", "Heart of the Woods", "DEARDROPS" and "Kira Kira" are also not badly made.
