You retain the knowledge and ability, but sometimes the execution gets a little rusty.
I only have time to draw and get inspired once every couple of months. I use coloured pencils. Usually the first area that I start to colour goes wrong. I start with the wrong shade, or press too hard too early, etc. Then suddenly its like muscle memory takes over and it just flows from there.
