How do other people's eyes influence your learning to draw?
An important notion in understanding why you didn't continue drawing after childhood is comparison with others. Drawing is not a competition, it's a moment for yourself, a personal and unique expression.

First, concentrate on your own progress, and if you're satisfied with the result, share it with others to inspire them.

Why learn to draw when artificial intelligence can draw better than me?
Don't compare yourself, learn from others. The same goes for intelligence, whether artificial or not. Focus on yourself to bring out the best in yourself. To illustrate this point, let's take an example: you enjoy walking, even though cars exist and are a more efficient way of getting around. However, you continue to walk because walking brings other benefits to your body and mind. Drawing works the same way. Just because someone or something draws better than you doesn't mean you have to stop. Drawing offers you unique and personal benefits, regardless of how you compare with others.
What are the drawing exercises for mindfulness and relaxation?

By integrating drawing exercises with this practice, you can cultivate mindful presence while developing your artistic skills.
