I am relearning. I doodled a lot in school and practically stopped after graduating high school. A few years ago I met someone who sketches and it made me feel bad for giving up on that hobby.
It’s also when I heard about a book called the art of noticing. The book isn’t worth it but the term stuck. Sketching makes you stop and notice what you are sketching. Making art makes you stop and notice other artists and their techniques. It made museums come to life for me.
I filled a notebook or two, then got myself an iPad with Procreate and Notability. The undo button is nice. I made a few hundred drawings since 2019.
Art has the benefit of being very cheap. Just a decent pencil or pen is enough. You can take classes, learn online, practice a lot or just stumble forward. There is no wrong approach.
