Ask HN: What new skills are you learning?

After interacting with a few lawyers I realized I am severely lacking in communication and people skills. Their emails were inviting but not over the top. My emails were either too curt or too verbose.

When talking to people face to face, I also work on adding value without rambling. Breathing more helps a lot.

And for fun I'm learning how to draw. Here is some of my work.
