I still draw, although 3D rendering has sort of taken over as my most frequently used tool. Now, I mostly draw (in the traditional sense) just to create textures for my computer models.
And, even my drawings are no longer done on paper. I purchased a nice sized Wacom tablet a few years ago and never looked back.
However, that said, I don't draw as much as I used to. I've always been the sort of person that does things in spurts. Creative mood swings of a sort ... which means there are always a few million projects around the house (or the studio or the office) that just don't seem to get done.
Half finished quilts, a three story enclosed cat condo with only the first two stories complete, several partially written books, a short film for which I haven't been able to get the music rights, so I gave up on that ... it's the curse of the polymath with a short attention span.
The last complete drawings I did were for a children's book -- that was last year. Four or five drawings in, I just ran out of inspiration or maybe I got busy with other things. I don't remember.
The teachers I always did best with in school were the ones that didn't mind me wandering off and doing whatever I wanted to do at the time. So, if I was deep in a math problem and the rest of the class was doing history, I was generally left to do math. I have very effective tunnel vision ... once something has my attention, everything else just fades away.
I also sleep like a stone. Once I'm out, I'm out for the next several hours (barring something that even my deepest subconscious acknowledges as an emergency). I slept through the 1971 Los Angeles earthquake (7.1 I believe), I once slept quite well standing up in the Pisa train station (and missed my train), I slept through straight line winds that ripped up trees all around my house (this was just last month). So -- don't ask me what the depths of my tiny mind considers an emergency -- I've never entirely figured that one out.
Man, am I wandering off topic or what?? What was the question again?? Oh, drawing. Sorry if I'm a bit dense today ... I was up very late reading in my new Kindle. Now, I feel a bit woozy. May have to take a nap sometime today.
Yawn ......
