14. what do I like drawing the most?
Faces and especially eyes. Which is ironic when you consider that I'm actually not that great at capturing likenesses of people!

18. what is my purpose for drawing?
I find this a weird question - does there have to be a purpose for a creative outlet? I'm not sure there does. All I know is that I want to create pretty things - and that most of the time it's actually very frustrating because my artistic talent lags way behind my ambitions. However, here I am, finding new pictures and new ways of creating them, and it's a lot of fun.

Eyes can be fun! But not when I have to draw a face around them :P Then my eyes look warped and weird and wrong.

I had the same reaction to that question. LOL. But then I thought maybe there's something else, some other reason out there that I haven't considered. For me, I didn't say creative outlet, so much as giving something to people (something I'm capable of doing) and honing a skill.

yes, I suppose part of my purpose is to improve (hone a skill), and part is about doing things other people will like - so there is that!
