asked:
How did you end up in Japan? How did you initially begin learning Japanese? And also: How long have you been drawing?

I’m on the JET Programme, which is a government program that brings people over to Japan to teach English, among other things. 

I initially began studying a few months after I arrived using Dr.Moku, an app for learning hiragana and katakana. I then moved onto the Genki textbooks and Tae Kim’s Guide To Japanese. 

As for how long I’ve been drawing, I want to say I didn’t start taking art seriously until I was like 14, so quite a long time ago.
