My niece has an INTEREST in anime, too.
She used to draw & color for hours as a child in ND (No. Dakota).

Isn't it neat that u DISCOVERED that yr dad had an Affinity for #ART & had even won some contests?

I was encouraged by my dad (in #artistry). 1 of my earliest was a picture of 2 poodles. Today I enjoy it still (#Landscapes, flowers, birds/horses/dogs/cats etc ).

I also really like to #draw old Barns - I even bought a book about the topic.
ISN'T that cool?
[I enjoy drawing 'things with lines' in them, thus i like to do barns, homes, etc ]
