Have been doing that since I got here. Didn't realize how much free time I had. The problem is to start, but the process is nice. Just like working out, plus less muscle pain.

YesyesYES ok ALRIGHT. I love me a good doom scroll but they are quite tiresome once you realise you can get better lost in a drawing AND have something to show for it afterward. My goal is to story tell, not consume others. Thanks for the reminder ! * Signs in spit and blood ceremoniously *

You absolutely can learn! I never thought anything i made in my teens was worth shit but drawing (and looking at art) are two sides of the same coin. My art actually started feeling good in my mid-twenties!
