Can I ask honestly why you got into drawing?
- Pamar 2y agoI mention it in passing in the first page: I have always liked to express myself visually, so for example in a meeting at work I tend to move to the nearest whiteboard. [15 years ago I started practicing Shodo (Japanese Calligraphy) which was already a step in the same direction.] But apart from the little drawing I did at school (as a child) I never really took any class, not even a video class on Internet. As I explain in the first page, I just decided to try drawing from random photos setting a timer. Then two things happened: 1) I found out I liked it a lot, even if the first results were nothing to write home about. 2) COVID (9 months later). Also, as a person I tend to stick to hobbies so if I decide to start something new I try to sort out how much time I can devote to this new activity considering everything else I have already on my plate. If it sticks, it tends to go on forever (e.g.: Aikido - 35 years and counting, Shodo 15 and counting, TTRPG... 40 and counting, IT/Tech, 45 and counting...).
