It's pretty crazy I've only been drawing for a year! When I started I had a hard time drawing without getting stressed out and now I draw for at least a few hours everyday. I still have a long way to go and am in no way comfortable with my skill level, but hey, the growing process has gotten kind of fun now at least!!
I hope this can all work out but working with illustration still feels like a far away, impossible dream.
Where will I be in a few years? Who knows!
