I used to be able to draw, but it'd take a lot of effort to get back into the art. I was never good at pure freehand, but if I had something to look at I was able to draw the scene, either sitting outside looking at something specific, or looking at a photo.
I could never do faces. The nose, eyes, and ears I just could never get. When I started learning that, I think I stopped caring and stopped even trying to draw. It's scary how quick you lose your ability to draw when you stop drawing for so long. And then I lose patience with myself due to disappointing myself, and then I give up. I'm a perfectionist, and it's either whatever I pick up I'll completely drop it if I feel I can't make something really really good with it, or I'll continue and keep getting better.
