Thank you, I have actually spent hundreds of hours practicing it, it can be far more than complex than other people may realize, especially if you get into things like animation- but it really depends on your art style as well. Luckily I've been working on my drawing skills, and the art form at the same time. I found something I love and can actually do again and it feels pretty good, maybe I'll keep sharing, alongside my other drawings since it's a big part of who I am as an artist. Hope to keep improving each day, thanks again for stopping by means a lot.

At one point I thought I'd never make art again, I spent years away though it made me suffer, now all I can do is create and hope one day people will find joy in my works again. Maybe I'll live the rest of my life on the cusp of a dream, but hopefully one day those things will become my reality. For now, all I want is to create beautiful art that can blow people away as I wanted since I was a talentless kid, I truly hope I can achieve that one day. I remember practically ripping my hair out in an attempt to learn things like programming, when I'm obviously not built for such abstraction.

This forum makes me nostalgic a bit. reminds me of rushing home after school to upload to my sketchbook on Conceptart.org, despite a lack of any real 'art classes' the forums were like mentors, and it gave me a feeling of consistency no matter where I moved to. I wonder if kid me would be proud of how far I've come, or saddened at how little I've achieved since then. But I've seen a lot of life, both the good and the bad in equal amounts. Hopefully the things I can see will eventually reach an equilibruim in the work I'm able to produce, despite any physical struggles. 

Sorry for going on, will upload more art later~
