On a side note, has anyone here dabbled with practicing drawing/illustration? I have so far found it to be an excellent way of practicing concentration as it require an acute focus to minute details.
On youtube Sycras channel was the most useful for me. He seems to genuinely care about providing helpful content for all levels, not just selling a product. I especially like his multi part series on specific topics e.G. "Foundations of Light and Shadow".
He also runs a quite active forum.
