1. hmmmm I always liked casually doodling stuff as a kid, but I started dedicating lots of time and effort into drawing when I was... seven or eight I think? when I was 10 I kinda stopped drawing so often, but last year I got a drawing tablet and picked it up again!
2. nope, I'm self-taught! I went to a manga/anime drawing class for like two days when I was nine, and then I stopped going lmao. I mostly learn through watching speedpaints/online tutorials/trial and error :^0
3. uhhh it was fun, I guess? rn art is just a hobby for me, I'm not really interested in pursuing it as a career or anything. once I get good enough I'd love to make a bit of money off rlc commissions, though!
4. depends on my mood tbh, right now I feel like p i z z a ;q;
5. d e f i n i t e l y n o t!! there will always be people better than us - both young and old. people start drawing at different ages, and learn at different paces. never compare your art to other peoples', it'll just discourage you from practicing/improving :<
6. ummm for art/media projects, I suppose? and sometimes I'll sketch during lunch or smth ("dID yOU DRaw ThAT??" "cAN YOu DRAw mE????!") it seems kind of pretentious to say that I "show off" my ""skills"" though lmao - I know tons and tons of other kids who are amazing at art too! ;w;
7. great now none of us have souls smfh
