The Painter
I do not paint and haven't picked up a paintbrush in decades... what part of that history would lead someone to believe I can paint?

I'm so happy I can do both- I just can't paint what I draw... which is very weird

I'm a writer, and even I can say that painting and drawing are completely different. For example, a pencil drawing can be erased. Painting, not so much.

One time I was looking for art jobs after finishing a large DIGITALLY PAINTED project. My friend assumed that meant I could also paint and signed me up for a painting job without my consent. ENGH.

People are always telling to write little kids' books; I feel your pain.

Why do so many people assume that if you can draw, you can paint just as well? *sigh* Wish it were true though.

Hey, at least your suggestion is within your general field. I'm a character animator, and my parents think I work in computer networking...

I was an animation major
and switched to paint because, animation takes effort and patience, and if you don't finish that single drawing fast enough, you lose your train of thought. Paint, you just...sit there...stare at the thing...occasionally do something...and it gets done by the end of the day. Because it's only the one thing by itself, it's easy. No before and after to worry about consistency with.
I didn't get painting at first because I was trying to paint with the same arm that does 30 second gesture drawings, I ruined 4 illustration boards before I turned in the first project, but after that it clicked
One's a cheetah, the other's a turtle, but they do the same stuff. Use a small brush like a number 4 round, they feel like a pencil, and just force yourself to do it at a pace that you think is extremely unproductive, and it'll turn out great. If you hurry like you do through a pencil drawing, you'll just wreck it, because you get the surface too wet, then you tell yourself you're bad at it, and give up.
