So I feel like I may be overthinking but I have a few questions for the people that make their own art/artists.

Should I start with traditional drawing before learning pixel art?

For instance, learning with DrawABox, and Proko figure drawing, and drawing the head, environment design, composition, etc. And then learning how to transfer that knowledge over to pixel art?

Or should I just learn pixel art, and focus on solely that?

I'm trying to land a job as a front end developer, I've spent close to a month dishing out this resume. So far, I've landed 3 interviews, in which one I was close to getting an offer, and another I got an offer but turned it down.

Is there anything I can do to improve on my resume in order to increase my interview/response rate?

I know that when you don't use delta time, the players speed will be affected by how many FPS your pc runs the game. Meaning if i can run the game at 60fps, my player would move many more pixels than if my PC were running the game at 30fps. But how is that delta time fixes this and makes it so the players always move the same amount of pixels regardless of my frame rate?

I know that the delta time calculates the time it takes to process one frame to the next. But how does this make it so the pixels is constant? Depending on my machine, it may take more time to go frame one frame to the next. So how does it make the pixel rate constant? I'm so confused

I was told that by going to meetups you can network, find connections, meet employers, etc. But I'm not seeing any meetups near me (NYC). All the popular meetup groups on meetup.com are essentially dead since the pandemic and the ones that aren't dead are online and only around 20 people are attending. I joined one of these online meetups (Reactjs meetup group) for around 30 minutes and it's (I assume) nothing like a real life one. No one's talking and it's just a guy explaining a mind-numbingly simple thing like it's rocket science.

Are meetups currently dead due to the pandemic? Should I wait until the pandemic is over?

My goal with the meetup was to meet other devs, share projets/ski

Here's the link to my portfolio. I've been coding for around 10 months or so and I'm starting to feel I'm ready. What do you think? If not, what should I work on/improve?

I've been seeing that some of the effects would be that water would get sucked from the ground due to hot weather which would kill vegetation. But can't we grow vegetation in labs? I'm also seeing that a report(s) have said that 1B people will be displaced by 2050, but I've also seen reports that said only around 100M will be displaced. Which one is correct? Are any of these reports peer reviewed?

I'm just not convinced that the effects of climate change are really serious. Can you help me out?

I'm scratching my head for days trying to find a project(s) to build for my portfolio. What is a good project to build to impress an employer for a junior front-end portfolio?

Be specific, don't just say "build a project that consumes an API".

Edit- These comments were extremely helpful! I know what I want to build now, hopefully in the next week or so you'll see what I built using your suggestions!

I started learning by ear and noticed I was quickly able to play some solos and simple melodies by ear pretty well. There were certain melodies and solos that sounded very close to the original, in which I was very proud I replicated. However, so far I'm still not able to improvise solos at all. When I play around with a scale I just sound bad. Random note hitting. It just sounds like a guy who's never played guitar before hitting random stuff.

So, if I keep learning solos and fingerpicking songs by ear, will I eventually be able to just improvise and sound awesome? How long would you say this would take on average? I wanna just be able to pick up the guitar and improvise solos, melodies,

I just took a mean ass shit, and purchased Dark Souls:REMASTERED. Everyone is screaming over this game, so I thought I'd play it. I'm playing it with an Xbone controller, wise choice?

I'm trying to progressively overload to 70lb push ups, but cannot find enough weight to put in my backpack/space. I can't throw any more books or small dumbells lying around, and I can't purchase any dumbells since the prices are unreal (not in a good way.

So what do I do?
