How did you get into graphics / gif making?

I don't exactly have an answer to that aside from grabbing tutorials or seeing someone on my tumblr dash reblogging a tutorial and looking at it and thinking it was awesome and wanting to do that. I was most likely just stumbling upon graphic making. 

Do you do something creative/related "irl" as well?Who/what inspires your graphics / gifs?

drawing, doodling really is the main creative outlet  Who inspires me to do my graphics and gifs? My friends. They are the ones that push me to try new things and even if the edit is bad they lift me up. 

What do you enjoy about making graphics / gifs?

It relaxes me which is something I don't completely get in my real life. I am able to erase, delete, pause when I am stressed and overall just able to tune out the world. 

What do you dislike most about making graphics / gifs?

My ocd making me spend hours on doing something that most would consider alright or perfect. The anxiety that I get when I do not do it. Please note that I am not just throwing the word OCD around, I have it and have been diagnosed with it.
