FAQ:
Something's broken, what do I do?

>The site is currently in the alpha phase of development and is being built around us as we compete so sometimes things go wrong. If you ever need any help send me a tweet @LavaFlake or shoot me an email lava@lavaflake.com.

What do we draw?

>Whatever you want. At this point there's no required topic so draw your heart out. Make sure you submit at least a half hour of work or you may get a low effort warning.

What's a low effort warning?

>The goal is to get people to draw every day by turning it into a competition. The low effort warning system is to prevent people from posting last minute, quick sketches when they're feeling lazy. If you receive a warning and it happens again within a month you'll be eliminated.

>This rule has been the cause of a lot of concern amongst newer artists so let me reiterate: this system is to police low effort content and has nothing to do with the quality of the work. New artists are more than welcome.

What happens if I'm eliminated?

>A new Last Artist Standing challenge starts every week. If you get eliminated then get it together and rejoin next week.

How can there be a new Last Artist Standing challenge every week?

>This is a way to let new artists join in and to allow re-entry for the eliminated. Every week a new challenge is started. If you joined on week 1 and make it to week 2 then your daily submission counts for both the first and second Last Artist Standing. If you get eliminated then you're eliminated from both challenges and you'll be able to rejoin next week.

Will I have an advantage if I join later in the week?

>The winner of a Last Artist Standing will be the artist with the longest streak. If you join on day 1 and last until day 85 then you'll have a streak of 85. If there's only one person left in the challenge when you're eliminated but they joined on Day 7 then they'll need to continue on for another week. If they're eliminated before then, you win.

maybe lava should hand over the reigns to someone in LAS that he trusts? I feel like this could still be good even if he doesn't control it anymore.

>>2639954
i'm out of the loop, what even happened? lava still posts on his tumblr as far as i know.

hey guys, who killed the thread?
http://www.strawpoll.me/11001304

>>2639963
it's literally in its name

>>2639972
i dont think anyone wants this

>>2639976
Choob did with his political garbage and shitty art.

>>2639972
Yeah, LAS' general concept is good, it can still be good, there's a lot that can and should be developed. One of the greatest fundamental flaws with LAS' current system is its inability to retain newcomers.
Most newcomers don't have a reason to stay so we keep seeing a high turnover in the newer weeks. LAS in its current state caters significantly towards week 1 and possibly the single digit weeks, which means its lifespan is essentially tied at the hip with week 1's lifespan. If it continues then LAS will all be dead by the time Week 1 is over, when it should be entirely possible to have a system that allows LAS to continue indefinitely with a healthy population.
We've discussed a couple of solutions (like seasons and a ladder system), the idea being to give some sort of incentive to newcomers to stay. Lava has planned to implement a Leaderboard system which would help mitigate this problem by allowing newcomers in later weeks to climb above lazy users in earlier weeks but with development at a complete standstill we can only wait and watch as LAS shrinks like a slow dying candle.

>>2639973
Lava stopped frequenting the threads or updating to the site a while ago when he went to the hospital and had half a dozen spinal taps, ever since then he hasn't returned. He continues to post to LAS, on tumblr and to his blog but never came back to these threads nor made developments to the site.

>>2639972
I'd rather drop it than have some faggot take over

>>2639988
LAS doesn't need shit but you drawing every single fucking day
I saw this coming the moment we let tumbrl tards in
"oh we need this feature! I want to be able to compare epeens!!! what about a feature that lets me share this on facebook!!!" fuck that noise
draw, just fucking draw
every single day
newfags can gobble on my god damn balls for all I care if they can't read the fucking FAQ or draw for more than a week and then drop out because nobody would tell them how unique and special their drawings are

>>2639991
someone give 4chan gold to this post. upboated.

>>2639991
That's pure idealism, the evidence is right here before you, because of its current system LAS is in a slow declining that can be averted.

Mass seppuku?

>>2639995
because all the shit added to it, WEEK WUNNERS, all the retarded memes, the streams, the sekrit clubs the fucking discord
you have only yourself to blame

>>2640003
Believe it or not, it's entirely possible to have a LAS that lives forever with a healthy population WITH all those still going on, they aren't the killer cause of LAS' decline, they are just easy things to blame when you're mired in them.

>>2640010
I'd beg to say that the current state in which we have all these things isn't a healthy populated one
I care less how you want to phrase it, sugarcoat it or outright ignore it
what eats away at LAS is everything that was not part of LAS from the start, everything that has jack shit to do with drawing every single day, not for someone else to be impressed, but for yourself to simply draw, every day

>>2640017
>simply draw, every day

This sums it up. Lava is doing it right. Fuck the community aspect, just draw every day.

>>2640019
>fuck the community aspect
Then why post to las? I can just draw every day and post to deviant art or tumblr, more people would probably see my shit and I might get more feedback. The whole point of las is that you would draw every day with a motivated group of individuals who were all striving to git gud.

>>2640017
>>2640019
Blaming the community gets us no where, you can't stop the people you don't like from doing what you don't like outside of LAS. Altering the site is possible, but without fixing what can be fixed things will continue as they are, the fundamental issues with LAS' system will never be addressed, and we'll continue to see a decline in LAS' numbers until the only people left are those that never needed the site in the first place.

>>2640002
Why did submissions drop?

Yo, to the character collab people, RAD couldn't submit for some reason so I just updated my submission with his drawing. You're up next Baddie.

Here's a link. http://imgur.com/a/EQ4yh

>>2640029
>Blaming the community gets us no where, you can't stop the people you don't like from doing what you don't like outside of LAS
see I don't give two shit who likes me or whether I dislike somebody here
that has no input on my or their output of drawings every day
people joined LAS because they didn't have motivation to draw at all
LAS is a placebo, nothing more
it makes you feel like you are competing when in reality you are building up a valuable habit of drawing every day
I'd even go as far as saying that displaying names is something that can be dropped altogether and instead we move the discussions here instead of circle jerking over jmgn's furshit or constantly shitting on someone because they drew something political or some shit

Immensely proud of today's Zoro

copied someone else's for reference but I used loomis to make it accurate or whatever and it looks great. Hopefully soon I'll be able to draw amazing Zoros all by myself.

Hi, I'm a professional Lass, here's a tip to max out your green/red ratios: start shit, then every day for as long as possible slowly build up your output (you'll farm lots of greens and whites this way), when you think you can't build up anymore drop all the way down to shit for one day and repeat.

So i checked out the sticky again and I'm wondering, is "Drawing on the right side of the brain, " actually a good book to read/practice with? Or is there a "better" alternative?

>>2640430
Adding to this post
Would, "Keys to Drawing," be a better alternative to it?

>>2640430
>>2640433
They're both decent but I think keys is a better book. The exercises are similar in both only keys doesn't make you use a view finder or talk about psuedo science bull shit.

>>2640435
Thanks! I might pick up KtD instead.
Now I know, "Perspective Made Easy," is a beginners guide; what's another good perspective book to continue off of PME?

>>2640439
That's probably all you'll need in terms of basic perspective knowledge. Marshal vandruff has a course on it as well that gives you a bit more info in video form. After you get the basics down you should move on to Scott robertsons how to draw book for more advanced stuff.

Hey Susi baby

>>2640439
Na man don't pick up any of those basics books. you go through them in a short period of time and move on
You buy the more advanced books that you will forever return back to like alla prima and reference books

Am I the only one that doesn't see all the issues with las? The site works fine, you can post everyday and will get eliminated if you don't
The community could be shit flinging monkeys but as long as everyone draws everyday and that's the respected part of it everything will be fine
When getting eliminated becomes trivial and the average user starts getting eliminated all the time that's when las will die

>>2640703
I agree. I never minded the shitposting and the site is fine without new features. It's frustrating that the threads are full of "lol las is ded" instead of actual discussion.

lol las is ded

You guys are giant faggots. Why don't you just shut the fuck up and draw

I think people just got used to summer levels of activity. Summer is ending, people are getting back into college shit. I think the bulk of lassies are in that college age range, so it seems fitting. As the other anons are saying, just keep drawing. LAS can only die if you stop doing that.

>>2640713

>if only we changed the week 1 obsessed system we would have LAS forever and people wouldn't leave so fast

Lol. Where do the new people come from. How many are even actually new and how many are people making new accounts, or /ic/ lurkers who are only joining now.

Look at how long the average person lasts on the Active chart. They join, draw for a few days, then either stutter to a stop or quit cleanly.

It doesn't matter how you change the site, people are lazy and inconsistent, and the only way past that is through rewarding their continued effort or by punishing those who fall, e.g. no weekwunner wants the shame of being memed or crossed off now. If you want people to stick around, there needs to be incentive and community, and if you want new people you have to go out there and spread the word about LAS.

Is an influx of reddit and imgur hobbyists what you crave?

>>2640735
>If you want people to stick around, there needs to be incentive and community
I agree with this a lot and it is also why I think there should be a few more features. Like you said the weekoner status is a big incentive... for weekoners... thats about it ya know? Lava has said multiple times that if he were too implement additional functions that require abandoning the week system that he'd leave the currently standing weeks somehow so don't worry.
However a system that actually makes EVERYONE workhard and push themselves is better. Because as it stands, being a week oner doesnt put any reaaaaal pressure to improve, just to post everyday.
Thats why I really really really like the idea lava has proposed several times, but everytime he mentioned it seemed like someone who didnt actually understand what he was saying would sperg out and shitpost. If we had a leaderboard system that incorporated both streak ASWELL as community challenge participation it would solve a lot of problems. (1/2)

>>2640791
(This isnt to say that I think the week system should be neglected in favor of challenge stuff or whatever, im not actually exactly sure how the integration would work.)I think this cause of a couple of reasons.
>Imagine if the only way to win a gold medal was to wait for the current gold medalist to die of old age.
It would be pretty dumb, but as it stands thats how the week system works in las. The only way to push yourself up is to hope those up ahead of you die off, and all they have to do is scribble for 30 mins a day. Now, I dont know about you, but I want las to be something that pushes people to improve not just stagnate and feel okay with that cause theyre a meme. But if we made it so that your position on the site was affected by how many challenges you join and COMPLETE (by doing this we'd also be addressing how to deal with people that dont finish the challenges they join) it would incentivize people to make more challenges that people want to join, it would make the week oners have to WORK to keep their status rather than just getting it cause the happened to join las before everyone else.Just my two cents, im sure this system wouldnt be perfect and would need tweaking, but what doesnt?

>>2640791
>>2640801
I agree with your general goal and find it admirable, but with Lava going AWOL indefinitely there's nothing anyone can do.

>>2640801
As one who has joined a few challenges and not completed them, your ideas sound great. It really does suck that there is no way to implement them without basically getting rid of Lava's site and starting over. Unless he suddenly decides to come back and make changes... which is unlikely.

>>2640801
what you're aiming for is good, but it could lead to a future where people shoot themselves in the foot focusing only on challenges when they should be improving their fundies. that can be fixed by making challenges that are focused on getting people through fundies (maybe even making them official weekly/monthly so people don't have to wait for others to make them) but it'd certainly need some tweaking, i'm sure there's gonna be some autists abusing it somehow, and that's probably what you mean by
>im sure this system wouldnt be perfect and would need tweaking, but what doesnt?

it'd be great if something like this was realized, but in the end it all comes back to the fact that Lava isn't around to implement it

>>2640791
I don't know how I feel about the community challenges counting toward anything. It'd be different if there were consistent challenges for fundamentals, but right now it seems like the fun challenges outnumber the studious ones. My goal is to improve. I'm not just going to join a bunch of useless challenges to grow my epeen.

And I think the main flaw with the week system is that everyone from the previous week is automatically entered in the next week. There would be no problem if the competition was just among the week you joined, because you have a mostly equal chance. But when you're up against 15 autists who joined a year before you and refuse to die, you can't compete with that. It's like joining a race when everyone else gets a one minute head start. You might be really determined, but so is everyone else ahead of you.

BUT of course >>2640809

how many active users on LAS? I dropped out in the first week.

>>2640834
87, http://lavaflake.com/draw/las/

>>2640833
>>2640831

Well the fundamentals challenges are exactly what I thought of when I saw his post. Personally I think THOSE would be the ones that contribute to your "rank" and the fun ones could still just be for fun. There would be two kinds of challenges, or the "fun" ones could be voted on to determine how they contribute to rank.

I also thought of challenge abuse, which is why I think there would need to be a group of people determining the core "contributing challenges" that people can use to skill up their rank or whatever.

So anyone can make and post "fun" challenges, but the rank-adjusting challenges have to be approved by the community. That way we get a balance.

>>2640831
>>2640833
yea yea i really dont want challenges to become what the topic challenge seems like it has were it has become a large burden on those in it and are stopping them from reaching their goals. I like this idea of like 'offical' fundie challenges that could be kept going indefinitely. >>2640833 >My goal is to improve. I'm not just going to join a bunch of useless challenges to grow my epeen.
Thats exactly my point, i want people to feel encouraged to create challenges that are actually helpful towards them and their goals, and I want people to be incentivized to do so! Trust me im the last person who wants a bunch of halfassed challenges piling up. It seems like people forget anyone can makes challenges about anything, i dont like that people just wait around for other people to do it first and then complain that those challenges arent tailor made to their goals.

Well, we can keep speculating and brainstorming and refining ideas until our ideas are so good they'd make Archimedes awe, but it's all ultimately fruitless without Lava, the linchpin, the big cheese, the essential ingredient, the gatekeeper, the man behind it all.

>>2640835
thanks, this thread had me believing it was down to 20-30 users.

>>2640838
Growing your epeen is pretty important. It helps build character and morale.

>>2640692
So what books would you recommend for perspective?

How many weekwunners actually come to the thread, anyone know?

>>2640692
>>2640884
I mean as advanced book on the subject, sorry about that.

>>2640886
If they are still lassing, they still come here.

>>2640886
Probably a few at least?

How many have actually contacted Lava about his disappearance? I was going to send him an email but I don't want him to be bombarded with that kind of stuff.

>>2640902
I haven't as I assumed others have, and now I wonder how many thought the same as me and haven't contacted him.

>>2640886
I pop in every couple of days or so. I'm not as active in the threads as I used to be (got sick of the shitposting), but at least one week one comes here somewhat regularly.

>>2640886

The list was fucked up from the moment rad submitted nothing and humanbean started us off.
I can redraw mine, I am just as guilty of just skipping ahead.

>>2640954
I'll just re-update once it's my turn and everything's sorted out

>>2640954
But Rad did submit first. Huamnbean just reposted Rad's submission because it wasn't working right.

>was drawing my part of the character
>two new early submissions in the meantime
At least my part's still open. And it's better than having people drop out.

>>2640962
>>2640968
Alright, that's cool. I must've missed something. I'll redraw something smaller from scratch when it's actually my turn, no issue.

>canada lassies stake out their local museums for a month
>identify lemur
>throw him in the back of a van and force him to work on the site

Worst case, we get the wrong guy and terrify some poor art enthusiast.

what happened Batcook senpai?

vadstart, fluffable and vadstart this is AAphk, the guy running the Hogarth drapery challenge, I got so sick of reading that fucking book I made a tldr of it, use that instead of the book if you want. https://i.imgur.com/71xH7gig.jpg

>>2641204
holy kek

>>2641204
>so sick of reading the book that you spent more effort abridging it
You're amazing. Also saved.

>>2641204
>>They come in a wide variety of exuberant, unimpeded, circumlocutions, vertiginous, perturbations, and buoyant agitations.
>For fucks sake Hogarth, put the thesaurus away.
kek'd heartily

>>2641204
Holy shit., thank you.
I couldn't help thinking of dropping the challenge because I couldn't focus on this stupid book.

>>2641204
Thank god, reading such a verbose book and seeing shit like this was giving me nightmares

realized I was too soft yesterday, so today's rankings are a bit lower than today.

still, many of you did well.

larrex and santi I couldn't even find on LAS at
all.

>>2641219
>so today's rankings are a bit lower than today
taking rankings fom a guy who dropped out of HS must hurt

>>2641219
>went down three ranks
I was happy because I thought I was just underestimating myself and I wasn't actually shit. I'll do better today, I swear.

>>2641221
it was an honest mistake, fuckface

>>2641219
They both changed their names. Not sure to what, but it would say on the week one challenge page.

>>2641219
color code the numbers >>2640124

>>2641228
it's too much work tbqh man. In reality, it would almost double the work. It's a nice idea, but too much of a hastle for me atm

>>2641223
just like your rankings

>>2641233
someone is assblasted by the rankings...
just get good you fag.

>>2641219
>santi
he's changed his name to LavafIake

>larrex
only god knows

>>2641219
Those bondage fairy and luci ratings are off. Today and yesterday

>>2641228
If you're that curious, can't you just look back between the two rankings?

>>2641237
Yeah I probably did give BF a bigger score than deserved. But still think 4 is an okay score for luci. It really isn't that high, and it seems he/she put work in his/her submission.

>>2641237
what's your opinion on how they should be rated?

>>2641219
>>2641236
>larrex
I think his name is "vadstart" now, everyone else except for him is on that photo and http://lavaflake.com/draw/las/?id=1

>>2641237
>>2641247
Luci here, yeah I spend about 3hrs every day (Unless I'm away from home) yesterday I spent 5. I always do about 20+ min of gestures but I rarely scan them because I don't have time to scan that much paper.

So even if it doesn't look like it I do try my best with the free time I have.

>>2641219
So what happens if there isn't enough students for the lassies

The fact that someone's going to be looking at and evaluating my submissions every day again makes me very uncomfortable, especially for the days where I just feel like doing something casual and fun instead of studying or doing something more serious/high effort.

>>2641235
I'm not even in there

>>2641267
0, you died

>>2641269
I meant before I did but ok.

>>2641270
as I recall you still had a long way to improve.

>>2641270
you were famous for scoring 0 when you were alive as well :-D

>>2641271
That is true, I'm working on that. Thank you!

>>2641280
oh GOD my DICK!

If I may ask, how do you guys tackle colour theory?

>>2641314
By messing around with colors until they look right

>>2641314

>Online streams Refreshes every 5 min

S T REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE AM

>>2641406
I don't know how.

>>2641408
download a streaming tool like OBS, link it to your picarto/twitch/piczel, capture whats on your screen

dun

>>2641425
Do people really use OBS

work destroyed me

take care, las

>>2641426
I use OBS. I think it works well. Why?

>>2641428
I was just making sure. I'm new to this.

>>2641429
OBS is very simple to use, you'll be fine.

wow, it has been a while. If anyone who knows me wonders why I left. It was because, people would always say that I wasn't serious.

Well, it didn't mean I stopped drawing. I just stopped visiting the Last Standing because of that.

Question though, have I improved at all?

oh god he's back

>>2641629
>If anyone who knows me wonders why I left
nobody cares

>>2641664
>>2641666
wat

What did I do?

>>2641672
nothing memorable

>>2641674
Rude.

>>2641247
>>2641237
I agree with these. I feel I don't really deserve a score higher than 3 and that's pushing it. I don't explore colour as much as I should and a lot of my stuff still feels static, but I'm feeling a bit more flow in some of it. I'm pushing myself to focus on lineweight and solve my constant face issues, once I've gotten better in those areas I might be a 3 or 3.5

Huh the site db was acting weirdly a second ago.

>>2641688
are we doing names and trips now?
has even LAS stooped as low as that

>>2641694
how new are you

>>2641694
Where have you been? BF has always been an attentionwhore.

>>2641696
day 1

>>2641697
he, and he is a he, was gone for a good month if not more
he should've focused on that streak instead of LAS

>>2641699
>day 1
Then you live under a rock.

>>2641219
>3
>not the worst.
>and thats all that matters.

>>2641697
Why are you salty? are you jealous of people getting attention?

>>2641776
I'm salty at everyone who uses a trip. We're not tumblr.

>>2641779
people using a trip to respond to someone who talks about them?!?! fucking disgusting behavior.

get back to r9k you aut

>>2641780
I wouldn't have a problem if there weren't only one or two people doing it. Everyone else responds and talks normally without using a trip. Stop drawing attention to yourself.

Good morning /las/

whats your excuse THIS week

>>2642022
NEXT WEEK

I SWEAR

>>2642023

Why is the sky a more saturated blue on hotter days?

>>2642067
I assume because hot days are in the summer, which is when your part of the earth has a more direct angle to the sun. So the temperature and the color are both results of the angle.

>>2642067
Less water vapor in the air?
Fuck, I don't know. I'm not a scientist.

>tfw daily ratings guy will give up again after a few days
Then I can keep submitting my turds in peace

>>2642073
then why bother answering

>>2642154
I dunno why'd you'e mom bother having you?

>>2642205
oh SHIIIIIIIEEEEEEEEEEEETTTTTTTTTTT

>>2642073
>>2642067
Gurney talks about the sky colour a bit but I don't think he mentions the difference in saturation on hot days, just goes on about the lighting being best for painting when it's overcast.

>>2642205
she knew what she was doing, unlike other faggots in here

>>2641192
I don't want to minimum effort post. I had time to make something, but I decided I would rather lose token than stop my work to scribble for 30 minutes. Need to fix my schedule so I have a dedicated block of time to draw.

>>2642527
keep pushing through senpai, even just a little bit, don't give up!

>>2642527
Do you have a regular schedule? Are you taking care of your health, (eating enough vitamin rich foods, drinking water daily, getting enough sleep, etc.) ?

If you aren't perhaps tone down the art a little and work on yourself. If you care enough, you will have your entire life ahead of you as an artist.

These moments, even college, are just a blink in your lifetime.You wont always have all the time in the world, and that's okay. Just do the best you can and try not to hurt yourself in the process.

>>2642587
the order is so fucked up, but you're still 2nd from last so I think so

I'm not a participant though, just an observer

>>2642592
Yeah I was just lookin at this, but going by whats submitted so far, I cant tell what was done first and what is the latest update on the piece. I dont want to use the wrong one.

>>2642592
-also, rad DID submit his submission: >>2640033
and JewishMerchant's submission is a "COMING SOON" thing, so everything appears to be in order: Tekky next, then Jew

>>2642595

You're up after me Tekky/Jewish merchant. I'll try to get my submission in by tomorrows deadline. Also yeah, I goofed on the order. I randomized it just so people wouldn't argue over who goes first or last but I don't think anyone really cares and it might've been easier to go by join date.

Oh ok man, thanks for clear up

https://picarto.tv/Lampblak

good night friends and family!

>>2642618
Just submitted so you're good to go now. Everyone submitted real quick though so we still had 6 days left.

Drink up baby, stay up all night
With the things you could do
You won't but you might
The potential you'll be
That you'll never see
The promises you'll only make

Drink up with me now
And forget all about
The pressure of days
Do what I say
And I'll make you okay
And drive them away
The images stuck in your head

People you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

Drink up baby, look at the stars
I'll kiss you again between the bars
Where I'm seeing you there
With your hands in the air
Waiting to finally be caught

Drink up one more time
And I'll make you mine
Keep you apart,
Deep in my heart
Separate from the rest,
Where I like you the best
And keep the things you forgot

The people you've been before
That you don't want around anymore
That push and shove and won't bend to your will
I'll keep them still

>>2642996

>>2643067
he likes to take it off to stroke his own dick
he could've as well left in on

>>2643063
tripfag is okay; I used to hate him cause he's shilling himself constantly, like when he posts his tumblr address on a self promotion thread, then replies to himself with "nice aesthetic" or something stupid. I used to rage over that but now I just find it funny and sweet.
He has truly become a meme.

>>2643089
>He has truly become a meme
it's retards like you who make him do it over and over again

Yeh tripfag is okay; I don't know why you guys hate him.

>tfw downloading and hording up a backlog of tons of anime, cartoons and movies and never watching them cause I feel like watching them will waste time when I could be drawing, and I don't want to draw with them playing in the background as I won't enjoy them to the fullest

>>2643096
Holy shit, are you me?

I think this has been the best WW day since I started doing dailies.
A lot of you guys did okay, hence so many threes. Although many of them were on the fence between 2.5 and 3, I gave them the bigger rank.

Anyways, keep it up LAS!

The year was 1968. We were on recon in a steaming Mekong delta. An overheated private removed his flak jacket, revealing a T-shirt with an iron-on sporting the Mad slogan "Up With Mini-Skirts". Well, we all had a good laugh, even though I didn't quite understand it. But our momentary lapse of concentration allowed Charlie to get the drop on us. I spent the next three years in a POW camp, forced to subsist on a thin stew of fish, vegetables, prawns, coconut milk, and four kinds of rice. I came close to madness trying to find it here in the States, but they just can't get the spices right.

If you're judging amount of work that someone puts in I think you're really bad at it. If you're judging amount of work + quality then fine.
But Lokki clearly deserves higher than JMGN here.

>>2643411
yes lokki did great and I always say there could be a 0.5 difference in ranking.
6 is still a good score.

>>2643433
Ok man.

I'm still glad you're here, if anything it motivates people to work harder, if not causing a little bit of stress

There's still time.
Don't waste the present pining over the mistakes of the past.
Your past self is a selfish dick. Try to be better than him by working hard now for a better future.

Snippets from a book I just finished that spoke heavily on this subject:


"Practice in childhood
causes myelin to build up more than does practice in adulthood. A study
of professional pianists found that the more practice they did before
age sixteen, the more myelin they had in the critical parts of their
brains. Starting early holds advantages that become less available later
in life"

"Yet even more important than these advantages is a different factor,
and that is the simple matter of time and resources."

"The most gifted kids in chess fall apart. They are told
that they are winners, and when they inevitably run into a wall, they
get stuck and think they must be losers."

All you need is time and effort anon, you can make it!
