Not me! I had to practice, practice, practice my hand block printing EVERY day in technical school. I was fortunate enough to have an old-school drafting instructor (even by those standards in those days) who made all his students hand-print lines of text he wrote on the blackboard (what`s that!?) onto 3X5" index cards and be graded accordingly. To this day I STILL hand-print checks, mail envelop addresses, & application or information forms because of this "ingrained" training. People marvel at how precise and crisp it looks, even today because you just do not see that anymore. Just takes me forever to do so, which drives my better half bonkers and she has to wait for me to finish filling them out , like at healthcare offices.
I was not a natural draftsmen by any means, but my technical school instructor did teach me how to draw and read blueprints. I loved making technical drawings and I considered myself a "good" draftsmen when I graduated. When you have a passion for something, you tend to work very hard to become "good" at it, like vehicle detailing!
(Old draftsmen never die; they just draw flies!)
