I actually want him to do this. I need to see how bad it can possibly get.
Igor: Greetings and salutations, friendo! This is the Velvet Room. Well, it’s not really much of a room at all, huh? More like a prison! What’s up with that? I guess that also explains why my daughters are dressed up like prison wardens! Well, and this is gonna sound nuts, but bear with me, this place is a reflection of your own heart; you haven’t been doing anything bad, have you? Ohh, maybe you’re one of those nasty guys who starts fights online and rants about how men are superior to women! I should hope not, otherwise my daughters would have to administer some corporal punishment! Kinda of an ironic punishment, considering. Just kidding! Besides, you can’t be all bad, since you were chosen by good ol’ Phil to be the wildcard. Oh, I forgot to introduce myself! Name’s Igor, like from Frankenstein!

Here are some ways to see improvements in your drawing quality and productivity through inaction, not action. They’ve worked for me and may help you too.
use less colours. It forces you to carefully consider your colour choices, not draw things just because you see them as a certain colour
use less layers. Don’t waste time flipping between layers, just separate the essentials (line, colour, shadow…)
don’t be pedantic about lineart. Most people don’t notice small blips in lineart, and unless you’re doing vector or professional art, the time trade-off isn’t worth it
lower your stabilizer. Low levels are enough to assist with curves. Higher levels make sharp turns hard. Adjust to your comfort, but see how low you can go
quit sooner. Spending excessive time on one drawing can be a bad habit. If you’re learning, you want to draw many different things, so quitting and moving on helps
