Yes, especially when you’re a practitioner and NEED people. I think mostly people find their guys in the end though, and especially someone like you who has hobbies that are very worldwide, if sometimes a little niche.

In my experience if you ever feel alone, start drawing on your sketchbook in a public place and see people flock to you with questions "what are you doing?" "But it's you that is doing this, really?" "Who is this that you are drawing?" "I have a nephew that likes to draw too" "Can you draw Sonic?"
