Tbh, I have no idea. I was drawing since diapers and never stopped. But what really made me start doing cartoons specifically is My Little Pony + DeviantART access lol. Now I get a lot of inspiration from anime/other artists online.

Wanted to find something to be passionate about and was tired of being lazy just sitting there like "I wish I could draw" and proceeding to not try and learn.

To see what I was capable of and I kept going. I used to suck, now I suck a lil less.

Keeping my hands busy helped me focus in school so like...Because I was a small child with rampant undiagnosed adhd and drawing was the only accessible thing I could latch on to in order to cope. 😂
