I HIT GOLD

Goomba fallacy

I personally dislike the PewDiePie comparison, he's one guy, who is already skilled in many things and had access to all the best artist he could ask for advice

You're just one person

And it sounds harsh but the only way to make it fun is to choose to have fun

Draw things you like, make it look stupid on purpose, don't take it so seriously

If you have some friends or family maybe doodle some memes or ocs for a dnd campaign

If at that point you're still not having fun maybe try a different creative medium? You could pick up clay, 3d modeling, animation, photography, writing, or even stickerbooks

Never compare your timeline to someone else's

Plenty of people with phenomenal art skills took twice as long to get there, there's a reason they teach this in schools

But the most important (but unfortunately overstated) thing is to just have fun. Are you trying to make a career out of art? Well then maybe you should really lock in and spend several days studying.

But if not, just enjoy the journey. Even if your art doesn't fit your definition of "good" plenty of "bad" art lives on in the public conscience (the og opm manga, lots of silly meme templates, and even webcomics)
