I went to Art HS, and Art College. Did some graphic design, and some illustration, along w a lot of paste ups & mechanicals pre-computers.

I've always drawn for myself, but for the past ?nearly 3 yrs have been using a wonderful digital art app instead on my phone. I'd be even better if I had a stylus, and not my finger. 😄

I need to get more fine line markers for the new drawing pad I did buy.

Also getting back to acrylic painting. I need a couple of more colors, though I can do certain things w what I have.

I also do easy knitting and crochetting, barely an intermediate, but I enjoy my finished pieces.

I definitely encourage you to return to it!
Even maybe try a new medium, after you've done something familiar.
