A dedicated YouTuber known as Ursa Ryan recently concluded a remarkable journey of drawing daily until the release of Civilization 7. After 638 days of posting what he humorously described as drawing badly, Ryan reflects on this unique experience.

It all began nearly two years ago with his first post, a drawing depicting a peaceful game of Civ 6 interrupted by an unguarded AI settler. There were initial doubts from viewers about the duration of this quest, with one commenting, “The Zelda one ran for over 900 days.” Determined to persevere, Ryan continued to post every day.

“I thought it could be a fun way to practice scribbling as I have no artistic talent whatsoever, and if I don’t do this, how can we be sure that Civ 7 will be released?” he articulated.

Ryan’s drawings included everything from quirky memes to remarkable artistic pieces, evolving significantly along the way. He humorously noted that despite consistent effort, his art did not improve substantially over time. Nonetheless, he developed a strong following, reaching 72,000 subscribers as his content garnered more attention, particularly during the pandemic.

The final post of this drawing streak culminated in a story about his journey and dedication to the Civilization franchise. He shared a message to future gamers considering a similar challenge, warning them that it is both “wonderful and dreadful” at the same time.

With the release of Civilization 7 looming, Ryan’s story serves as an inspiring tale of commitment to creativity and community engagement in the gaming world.
