I am almost 16, and have been drawing as long as I can remember. I especially drew a lot when I was 12 and 13, but stopped for almost 2 years. Recently I've picked it back up again an am SO glad.
I took a painting class for a few weeks when I was 8-10 years old, but my mum pulled me out. I was kind of hyperactive. Aside from that and learning art in school, I've got nothing :P
I don't know what I want to do with art. I definitely know that it is my passion, and a part of me would love to be drawing for the rest of my life. That part wants to be an illustrator, but I've never tried digital art before and I feel like traditional art wouldn't be as accepted. Another side wants to go to uni, study psychology, sociology, history or something like that and get a normal job. I have no idea what career I want to have after school and I'm so worried that I'm never going to make it as an artist if that's what I choose. All I know is that for now, drawing makes me happy.
As of now, no. I'm still trying to learn the basics and develop an actual style before attempting anything big. It's the first time I've drawn for a very long time and my older stuff is just godawful o_o i'm filling out sketchbooks with ideas instead. once I get better, I'll start spamming r/drawing for sure :D
