To Lost Skills and Regaining Them

When I was a kid I loved to draw and with all things that you love as a kid you do it as often as you could, learning and practicing skills without ever realising it. When I was in the junior school my parents were amazed by my drawing of our cat. Although my parents were easily amazed and slightly bias.
In my teenaged years I drew a lot of comic heroes and manga. The manga primarily being large breasted women.

 

Then nothing. college, uni and work, not to mention clubbing, drinking and girls all but preoccupied my time with my drawing being relegates to the margins of college note.
Fast forward around 15 years..ish when my parents enlist my help in getting their suitcases out of their loft. While wading through the year upon years of horded junk my eyes  fall upon a folder I haven't seen in years. A kind of giddy excitement falls over me as I climmbed over my old rocking horse being careful not to fall between the exposed structural beams and reach for the dusty old leaver arch file.
Inside the dusty old leaver arch folder I was greeted by a multitude of sketches, doodles, drawings and paintings all created by my younger self. I have to admit I was a little surprised at how good they were.
As I leafed through the pages and bits of scap paper I had drawn on it hit me that I can't reproduce these the skills I used to create them have been lost to time. I suddenly thought what if I had carried on getting better what could I have produced today.
Alas we will never know but a spark had been reignited within me, I am hoing to learn to draw. I'm going to start from scratch and im going to document my journey on here. Sharing what I find with you and showing my progress, if any, to hopefully inspire maybe one or two of you to join me.
So its time to do a bit of research and get cracking.
