This is a pretty difficult question to answer as my interest in the arts grew exponentially from my childhood.

I started drawing in 2012 as a 10 year old kid but started taking it somewhat seriously in 2018. 

As for animation, I started in 2015 and have been working professionally since graduating from high school in 2020.
