I am over 50 and reciently decided to try to get into art (again). I've fiddled with drawing a few times, but never more than an hour a week or so.. for just a few months.

My problem (I think)was that all the art supplies kept getting in the way of doing art. Having ADD, or ADHD, or whatever you want to call Attention Overload Disorder these days didn't help either. Then in October 2017, I got Procreate for the iPad, and went through my book "You Can Draw in 30 Days" again, so I could get used to the interface. Then started watching Youtube videos and trying my hand at various stuff.  

My avatar is a rather large modification of how to draw a bear I saw online. I only changed the eyes... and the ears, and the hands, and the feet though. ;) I'm still a beginner as of this writing (3 months in) and have lots to learn, but I seem to be producing more and more of my own original work than I ever did before. So I think it's gonna stick this time.
