        Welcome @Basil-Godevenos
        I am much older than you and starting out as an author-illustrator after a long career in engineering. Age is just a number. Don't let that limit you. Learn as much as you can. It is all worth it if you enjoy and have fun along the way.

            @RG-Spaulding Glad to meet you! I'm curious how your background in engineering informs your artistic eye/process.

              @Inge-Permentier Thanks for the encouraging words. I also want to see what I can do with proper instruction! I'm aiming to take it pretty slow, but I'll post my progress.

                            @MissMushy Thanks! I have an uncle who picked up painting in his mid-40s and he's very good. So that gives me hope!

                                  @Fossi-Images Just took a look at your IG. That is impressive work! My best friend is a graphic artist who has recently gotten into block printing. He lives in California, so I've never seen him work. Watching your process videos has given me some insight!

                                    Wow! I just got into this forum and already loving the energy here!

                                    Just like you @Basil-Godevenos : I'm 38 and just got back to drawing after putting it aside in my teenage years.

                                    I relate a lot to what you're saying, and all the other comments are giving me more reasons to keep practicing!
