I'm personally pretty comfortable with OpenCL and "old" OpenGL (i.e. using immediate point API which is deprecated now, I didn't do any graphics coding for ~a decade). But I found Vulkan impenetrable. The boilerplate code was absolute insanity. I tried to find some libraries that'll implement the boilerplate for me, but couldn't find anything good enough. Maybe I didn't look hard enough, idk, but Vulkan didn't seem like something an OpenGL engineer could pick up in one afternoon.

To understand Vulkan, Metal or Direct3D 12, you first need to understand modern high-level APIs like OpenGL 4 or Direct3D 11. The fixed-function pipeline is nothing like the new way of doing things. Then you can move to low-level ones, if you really want to spend a few weeks on it! But if it is a hobby, I suggest you stay with a high-level one.
