Drawing. I do it badly, but I started doodling almost everyday when I was 13 years old and never stopped. I'm now 34 years old.
Horrible fanarts, incredibly lacking landscaping and buildings with bad perspective, an enormous amount of anime eyes, embarrassingly wonky naked ladies and creepy monsters... I draw anything anywhere and my sketching pages are very messy. I love them. My subjects change because my interests change, but still I go on sketching...
I have shit skills because I didn't know how to learn how to draw until recently, but I have my "style" and I cut some of my favourite sketches and past them into a scrapbook with my favourite pieces.

Nowadays I'm getting into art more "seriously" and I've began learning the fundamentals and drawing by observing. It's kind of embarrassing how much I've improved in these last few months only by following some basic instructions LMAO I feel like I've wasted so much time just randomly doodling and never really applying myself. (Probably for the best though because I had a lot of fun and no pressure!)
I was never "lucky" in having a mentor or someone who believed in my drawing skill. When I was a kid I almost always was the worst "artist" in my class and I actually even failed art class in middle school. I wanted to apply to a high school specialised in arts, but my mother prohibited it because I "had no talent". Still, I never stopped drawing, but I never did apply myself either because of fear of failing. My drawings were my biggest passion and my biggest shame until recently.

I purchased some watercolours in December and it has been the best gift I've ever made myself. Like, I'm so happy now. I can't believe that my stupid little sketches can be improved this much with just a bit of colour. I'm amazed.

I don't really want to monetize my hobby, especially online, but I hope that in maybe three years I'll find the courage to book a table in a small artist convention and IDK sell some bookmarks and other small paintings. I really want to meet people through my art and maybe make them happy with my little creations.
