Technically, I've been drawing since I was little kid in grade school. Typical kid stuff like cars and planes. Then I sort of just lost interest in drawing around late in grade school and didn't really pick it back up again until around my junior year of high school. It was around the same time my parents got a computer, scanner, and a decent internet connection which allowed me to find better tutorials and advice about drawing. Better than the old "How-to-Draw" books I had as a kid that showed you two circles and then the finished pic. It was also about the same time I found out about furries and thought "Hey, that's pretty cool" and gave me a reason to get back into drawing.
