Hobbies, Part 1

So the other day I posted an introductory post in which I told you about some of my interests.

Well, okay, I didn't really tell you about them, I just posted a long list of things I like. I'm going to break this up into several different posts, just because explaining them all in one post would take forever.

So today I'm going to elaborate more on the things that I like to do... starting with

Drawing

I've been drawing since I was a little kid. I don't remember always drawing before I was in third grade, but my mom tells me that I've been drawing since I could hold a pencil.

When I was in third grade I was pretty into stick figure drawings. Now I know what you're thinking, 'everyone draws stick figures, why were you so into that?' Well I drew stick figures, but I gave the girls skirts and actually gave them stories and had them interact with each other. It was fun.

At that time I was also into horses (I've always been into horses) and so I was always drawing horses. I would also draw people who weren't stick figures, but I think it was mostly stick figures or about even...

Once I hit age 12 I discovered manga/anime and decided I wanted to be able to draw that. Over the next two years my art developed in leaps and bounds as I checked out anime drawing books from the library (and even bought some of my own). Over the years I continued to develop, my own style developing subconsciously as I drew.

At about fourth or fifth grade I stopped drawing horses; I was focusing more on drawing people, so I was drawing them all the time.

Maybe a year and a half ago I started drawing horses again and went on a bit of a people hiatus.

The point of this post was to show you what I've been doing now, but I got kind of off topic...

Anyway, I've been mostly doodling for a while now so there aren't a lot of super cleaned up drawings...
