Actually you owe me 6! But who's countin?

Dumb questions:

I have started to draw and it feels like a chore. Does that mean drawing 'isn't for me'? Or is that normal?

I have been trying to find a hobby and I know that any sort of hobby has work involved however I am not sure where to draw the line of "this isn't for me".

Any advice?

If you're doing it purely for your own enjoyment and/or therapeutic value, then it should be something you consistently find fun. If your intent is to seriously improve and hone the skill further, and you're doing some actual study or something with a bunch of learning resources... then yeah it might feel like a chore sometimes, although you should at least feel like you're learning something from it. And it definitely shouldn't feel like a chore all the time.

Is seeking critique at the beginning a good idea or does it do more harm than good? I am going to try again. I think I need to focus on having fun as opposed to doing "the right" things.
