The reason i choose artist is because i find drawing relaxing and brings out your creativity as well.
When your drawing you don't have to draw a specific thing you can draw whatever style or thing you want. Another thing when it comes to drawing is you don't have to be a good artist to have fun drawing. The skill could be useful to take your mind off things or just to have some fun. To draw one thing you need is time. Some drawings take multiple hours depending on how much time you put into it.
