4.) How long have I been drawing
From kindergarten through elementary and high school, I've been drawing all the time, with pencil. No art school, just hobby. During architecture uni i had proper perspective drawing classes. Other than that I almost totally stopped drawing during uni, for like 6 years. Then out of nowhere I decided to learn digital art, mainly from youtube. That was 8 years ago :)
5.) What YouTubers I recommend
I've learnt the most from: Boro CG, Tyler Edlin, Marco Bucci.
I also recommend: Trent Kaniuga, Adam Duff, Kienan Lafferty, Marc Brunet, Proko, Sinix Design.
Specific video recommendations on my discord soon, under curated resources :)
