>How did you actually learn to draw?
i did enormous amount of croquis. i have sketchbooks towering about 1.5 meters high. it's all croquis. however i did it infrequently and ineffectively. so I have wasted a lot of time. but it helped building internal visual library. i spent about 5 years if i count years that i've actually tried to learn something. plus about 5 adolescent years doodling random shit and not going anywhere.

i didn't read any art books.

>When did you start
technically i started to draw when i was in an elementary school. it was shit and ever so slightly better than average joe. I think I've actually started doing something meaningful since 19. i'm 23 now.

> what did you do,
I drew what I wanted to draw and kept doing that. 99 percent croquis. as a result I have a very skewed, unstable set of skills. i can't paint, i can't make caricature, i can't draw scenery.

> what were your milestones?
drawing pretty girls actually pretty. / drawing from imagination. / making comics.
I'm quite sure my drawings are not in ugly state, and drawing from imagination is not perfect but satisfying, and currently making comics.
