My reason for drawing is both because I find it fun and it helps me feel productive :] I took a few years "off" from drawing while I was in college and a year or so after, and like it was fine while I was in school, but after I graduated and even after I started working, I noticed myself just feeling... super bleh about just going to work and then playing games during my free time after. There's nothing inherently wrong with that, of course, but it just felt like I was being lazy and unproductive when drawing had always been something that I invested time in as a hobby and I wasn't continuing to hone or practice those skills.
