From video by Drago on a mobile app Simply Draw. Which tries to lure children in by promising to teach them how to draw! But then you get hit by the paywall.

We shouldn't inspire children to follow their artistic dreams, and then hit them with the paywall. Or the mobile app economy as a whole. Not all adults are ready for the mobile app economy, why do we think children are ready for that? It's cruel. It's harsh.

I followed along with the tutorial, it's not a bad way to learn how to draw a fish. I'm depressed and I'm depressed because of fish thing so... I dunno if this helped me, it was a thing, I dunno.

After watching the video I linked in the desc, I actually was, like, "why the hell don't public broadcasters just hire this guy (and other people like him) and just have them do public art lessons for kids forever?"...well, I guess American public broadcasting isn't exactly in its golden age right now and I don't think it will be in the current administration.
