it's really simple
your body does not care from which source it gets dopamine from, it only cares about the chemical reaction

dopamine release comes from these things:
-smoking
-cooming
-drinking
-eating
-achieving (exercise, fitness, good work, artistic development, musical composition )

the first 3 are the "easy dopamine" releases that cause people to become addicted because they are quick and fast, easy to access, yet most people are unaware that achieving something in ANY field produces dopamine not only ON THE WAY of learning something but even AFTER achieving something, it's the "BINGO!" moment when you "get it" and achieve something, be it at a mental state or physical state.

When you feel like cooming your brain is launching signals that make you search for hentai material so you fap and coom and reach orgasm and get dopamine, if you don't listen to it and instead provide art the brain will slowly adapt to the achievement-induced dopamine released by the action of producing art, a dopamine that is not only higher quality than coom dopamine but longer lasting as well

higher dopamine when drawing = betterdrawings = more dopamine = more focus and happiness = success

Don't believe me? Look up Vincent Van Gogh's life, he was depressed 99% of his existence and painted exclusively to release dopamine into his system and stay happy, when his collegues went partying he got mad and painted even more, when he was dreaming he dreamed of painting and when he was awake he painted his dreams
