It was mainly because, ever since I was a child, art was the thing I was 'good' at. My brother (we're a year apart, so we were treated as more or less equal) was more popular, more well-liked, had more friends, etc. And I was the quiet one who was good at art. It was my "thing".
We had a weekly assignment for our sketchbooks, and I always tried to relate them to my hobbies. Sometimes she'd give us a theme to work with, sometimes we could draw whatever we wanted.
Also, I'm a sort of person that needs more outside structure, and pressure to complete work, particularly time pressure. Comic book artists typicaly must complete 22 pages in one month (though that number has dwindled as the new generation have been getting lazier). At the time comic book graphic art was something that inspired me at the time (I wasn't much into anime then), in terms of its storytelling style.
