Could you draw on paper as a rough outline then trace it in the program? Mouse drawing sounds miserable, especially if you just vectorize it anyway 😭. Excited to hear the continued saga either way!

I could try! I'm worried it also won't look exact. I suspect it may not be the art for me, as I'm too clumsy to draw exact things, but I also have OCD that means I get really annoyed when I can tell they're wrong 🤣🤣🤣 So I may actually just be creating a new torture device for myself I still don't

fully know what a vector is (I thought it was a style of art that involved a lot of warping and lines that gets done by/in the computer, but from the tutorial I watched it just seems to mean the coordinates are scaleable without losinng definition, so not a specific style exactly). I can't code at

Don't forget to relax your jaw. Also maybe take this as a long term project. Something that you can enjoy over a longer period, knowing that with patience and practice the improvement will come.

To be honest I'm not even sure where to start! It may just be something that's not for me (much as I admire it)

That's also ok. Sometimes we have to look into something to realise if it is our cup of tea or not. But also to see how much work and skill goes into the creation and appreciate it even more.
