I've always had a artistic & photographic inclination IN ORDER TO 'SHARE' MY PERCEPTION with those who CARE to 'see' AND comprehend~ Joe South made popular a song entitled "Walk a Mile in My Shoes"
As I grew in experience I took up extemporaneous speech and high school debate to enhance sharing my perceptions... I got EXPELLED from kindergarten because of TWO incidents.
The first was as the staff would gradually remove the school's toys to refocus the disparate children's scattered interests and curiosity, there came a time when they hid the Lincoln Logs which thwarted my creativity. I went in search and I FOUND where the Staff had hidden them. Not being selfish, I also shown the other kids where they'd been hidden. The Staff was NOT amused by MY magnanimity.
The second incident occurred when the Teacher initiated discussion by doing introductions and inquiring what we each COULD do. Comes MY turn, I proudly announced that I could stand upon my head. The Teacher before the entire class of my peers accused me of lying. Whereupon, before the entire class, STOOD on my head, proving HER to BE the Liar in front of the whole class!
Mother was told to come and take me home as being "unfit for kindergarten"---
Do NOT invite 'inquiry' IF your covert intent is to amass personal 'prestige' rather than disseminate 'truth'!
I hold a B. A. in Graphic Design & Photography from Penn State U. '73, I since learned to tailor my photo collage art using average folk's symbols in order to insidiously promulgate my perspective.
Much of my work has been disseminated under theorionmage@ deviantart. com and as its harvested & assembled from publicly-published imagery, its MY belief that MY art is to be disseminated and shared WITHOUT remuneration, under the 'fair use' statutes.
THOUGHT is to BE disseminated, NOT hoarded~ If the thought is 'unworthy' it will be eventually discarded to include 'flights of fantasy' ... many fetish-ed erotic. In closing, I'd proffer a quote from the infamous Marquis D' Sade:
“How delightful are the pleasures of the imagination! In those delectable moments, the whole world is ours; not a single creature resists us, we devastate the world, we repopulate it with new objects. The means to every crime is ours, and we employ them all"
You are a very talented sketch artist. I really liked the first one. It tells a story.
I like to restore old stuff. I have been restoring some things that I have owned when I was a kid and could not bear the part with it. Last summer I restored some of it.
old radio from the 1940's came with a cottage my family bought in the 50sReceiver i bought when I was in high schoolmini bike I had when I was 13.
@humanearth I found some on the internet. I found parts for the receiver on the internet too. The radio works but it has some static. I think the tuner is corroded. It is the old type with metal plates.
The mini bike had a new engine I got off a water pump. It runs good but the exhaust comes out the front of the engine instead of rear facing like the old Tecumseh engine. I found out that Tecumseh was out of business.
Yeah, so is Wisconsin Engine. I have 22HP Wisconsin engine I rebuilt. I had to have the crank machined and Connecting Rods made. I made all my own gaskets.

OH FAN DABBY DOZY, you are GOOD. I also like drawing, and here’s my most recent one. I made it for my mom
In terms of Career, here’s the most recent Robonian so far.
I also like playing Apex Legends (Willa be playing Jurassic World Evolution 2 once that cums out), I like practicing for making Internal Songs (of my own), I watch small parts of things that happen in my Conga Series like the Autothots and OG Robonians joining forces, The Radansian Rotation, and a bunch more.
Like you, I enjoy sketching a bit. Actually, one of my crude ways to get friends early on in my 20s before I got more chatty was sketching their faces in bars while extremely drunk, like so:
And so:
And sometimes at home, I tried with stylus digitally, like so, but always with speed. I get bored after around 15 mins:
I also like playing with synths and trying to record a song but I suck even more at it than drawing, but I love doodling on the keyboard since it's more responsive in a way to me than drawing and lets me get a feeling faster: https://voca.ro/135uWc9LAmHz
Also into skateboarding on vert ramps (used to be sponsored as teen). I don't have many pics of my skateboarding career since I was a bit camera-shy except this one featured in Thrasher long ago that a photographer took while I participated in a contest while 14-years old:
I'm also into bodybuilding a little bit but not like the pros. I just try to sculpt my body the way I want fighting against aging and stuff:
I like the music stuff a lot lately like I select a synthesizer and instrument and press a key on the MIDI keyboard and it's like, "Blarrrrnggg! [sululululuwinkletwinkle]." And it's like, Eargasm! But I can't put it to a song just yet. But I like the tinkly sound. Like tinkle-tinkle when you pee or when the rain drops. It goes high and it sorta falls... like tinkly-linkly-linkly-[quiter, lower]-link... link. But it's like the pee hit the ceiling first. I don't know how to explain it but this was my attempt at capturing how I imagine peeing on the ceiling is like: https://voca.ro/13Yn9faowh7t
Also into drumming a bit and I got this MIDI drumkit. It's not a real one. It barely makes any sound if I hit it unless it is connected to the computer. But I've been trying to hone my drumming abilties. But I cheat digitally so I will record my drumming at half-tempo and quantize all my mistakes digitally and double up the tempo for final track. I have a friend who is like a real musician and he said my percussion on my attempted songs always sound so generic, and they are usually because I just do the drum pad in the most orthodox way or pick a drum loop for the entire song. But I have been trying to improve my percussion: https://voca.ro/1nYX3kNAhb0V
@humanearth There is an endless number of things I still can't do at all even at the beginner level like crafting knives as in your case which sounds awesome to me! I'm one of those though that geeks out on all sorts of subjects and sorts of dabbles in them but never masters anything. :-D
I think I'm oppositely wired of most normal people who get motivated and passionate as they're getting really good at something. That seems like the proper wiring to develop real mastery at a subject which I never do and always most admire people who can. What motivates me instead is being extraordinarily bad at a skill, or being embarrassingly ignorant about a particular subject. Then I turn into an obsessive madman for a brief period until I start to become "okay" at best, but mostly just beyond total beginner. Then after that basic obsession wears off, I start to become bored with my limited attention span and want to find something else I'm completely bad at or ignorant about to inspire me and obsess about.

Shooting, casting bullets, and reloading spent cases left behind from ranges along with my own brass of course. I'm pretty deep in it now, I'm about at the point where I'm going to start making primers because I still can't find any for small pistol primers.

I like drawing/sketching, a little bit of photography ( sometimes digitally incorporating photos into my drawings). I also like to make my own music with a guitar and bass guitar.
My current favorite hobby has to be Gaming. I enjoy spending time on games hanging out with friends, and it takes my mind off of some of the shitty things happening in my life and in the world in general

Photography (since I'm a Graphic Artist, that kind of goes with the territory), cooking, gardening/landscape design, music (60 years of keyboard, piano, organ - best with organ playing standards, plus a bit of guitar and a hint of drums), model railroading, volunteer work, MacGyvering solutions.
BTW- 1,2,3,4,7 are your better sketches. Nice work. We can discuss in PM if you like.
Those are really good sketches, you have real talent for it... My hobbies include playing banjo (5 string not 4 string) , oil painting , making 1/35th scale military dioramas
