Apologies for the late response, anon! I still have to get used to this site and the notification is very easy to miss...

I think anime was the catalyst. I was big big into Dragonball Z when it initially aired in Switzerland and it didn't take long for me to wanna draw. Especially when I looked up the series online and saw fanart for it. I guess seeing other fanart was the very specific catalyst!
I've loved drawing ever since.
