Where to start

There is never a need for me to draw anything but my own need to express myself constantly through doodles and colouring whenever I have a chance. Sometimes it helps me to listen better, helps me to concentrate, and helps me to unwind. The task I face here is the challenge of writing which is problematic in my own language as I often find that my thoughts and my ability to put them into words are not always working at the same speed, so bare with me on my attempt to improve this relationship of moving thoughts and slow typing abilities.

I am hoping to start here registering my journey back to drawing. I meant to fall in love with drawing and illustration all over again as I stopped for many years to concentrate on other things like raising a family and other pursuits. Maybe my journey will inspire someone to start drawing as a new hobby and discover the many directions that you can take with your art as I am discovering.
