Mr Doodle

Over a decade of constant drawing. Dude clearly loves the process of drawing itself, which is the essential part of becoming a master in art. Take a look at his first videos on his channel. 

 

Contemplate, think about how much time he puts into drawing, what activity would you enjoy putting in the equivalent amount of time?


I forgive my past, I release the future, and I honor how I feel in the present.

This video shows really well the day-by-day  of indie game developers,  and how much they have to overcome to reach the game marketplace successfully. 

The game, in the style chosen by them, is very well polished,  taking pixel art game up to the limits, with the level of immersion and depth similar to many triple A dark RPG's franchises.

Ben Patrick had multiple knee surgeries and was told he would never be able to compete in his sport again (basketball) by his doctors.

He took matters into his own hands and studied knee mechanics to rebuild his knee joints. Unfortunately, the natural sciences aren't the only fields riddled with dogma. Sports science stigmatized knee movements that involved knees moving over the toes. Several decades ago they found that such movements cause extra pressure in the knee joint. And although this is true, the consensus about it's implication was wrong. It was believed that it would erode the knee, but in fact it was the opposite. Safely doing such movements would cause adaptations that actually strengthened the knee joint.

After discovering this, he's mastered knee health, explosiveness & longevity, helping a lot of people with knee issues (including me) regain their athleticism. Awesome bloke.
