10: What’s that one thing that inspired you to make drawing your consistent hobby?

I mean, we switch between writing, drawing, and comics regularly, so I'm not sure you'd call it "consistent," but we just feel compelled to make things and share them. We find the process intrinsically enjoyable and challenging, plus it gets us paid! What's not to like?
