    FWIW I started drawing in school in the back of my exercise books, when bored during lessons - cartooning is 'shorthand' what you don't draw is as important as what you do... too much detail kills it...

    My experience is similar. The best thing that happened for me was Grade 8 in Mr. Banks class. It was a small school and we spent most of every day in the same class. Mr. Banks didn't like small individual desks and so he swapped them out for large tables & we sat two-to-a-table. To each table top he taped down a covering white bristol poster cardboard. He told us we could draw/doodle as much as we liked on the tables -- as long as we promised to listen when drawing. It was great. I drew continuously that whole year plus I took seriously the promise and learned it is possible to draw while thinking about something completely different. I suppose I learned what we'd call today: multitasking. Thank you Mr. Banks.

    What I liked to draw were big floating cities. I don't know why but it was my thing. They were like huge aircraft carriers with skyscrapers on the deck. I'd draw them big -- like two feet wide and sometimes take weeks to complete one drawing. Whenever we wanted a new drawing surface Mr. Banks would provide it. Great teacher!

    Cool

    I certainly wouldn't be without the radio ... although to be fair I prefer classical or jazz without lyrics when I'm concentrating hard
