Spent $45 on a set of fine liners and drew the ugliest thing I've ever made

I was up at 1 AM last week, half asleep, and decided to drop $45 on a pack of Micron pens because I convinced myself my art would look better with them. Big mistake. I tried to draw a simple tree, but my hand was so shaky the trunk came out looking like a drunk snake. The leaves turned into these weird blobs that looked more like mold spots than foliage. Ended up with this scribble that somehow looked like a sad potato wearing a hat. My roommate walked by and asked if it was a failed Rorschach test. Now I've got these expensive pens mocking me from the drawer, and I'm too embarrassed to try again. Has anyone else had a late-night art supply splurge backfire this hard?

Bro chill, it's not that deep lol. You spent $45 on pens, so what? That's like a couple of takeout meals. I've dropped way more on shitty art supplies I never touched again. Just scribble some random lines to break the fear, nobody's gonna grade you.

You spent 45 bucks on pens? Man that's like a whole week of gas money for my Civic.
