× To be honest, I'm not a big fan of drawing.
✓ To be honest, I'm not a big fan of drawing.
No change needed. 'fan of drawing' correctly uses the gerund after 'fan of'. Keep as is.
× Umm, I prefer, I prefer watching the arts or like getting days in the arts but not doing it by myself.
✓ Umm, I prefer watching art or spending time in art galleries, but not doing art myself.
Original uses awkward phrases: 'watching the arts' and 'getting days in the arts' are incorrect. Use 'watching' or better 'viewing' with uncountable 'art' and 'spending time in art galleries' to express visiting spaces. Also 'not doing it by myself' is clearer as 'not doing art myself.' Replace incorrect prepositional/phrasing choices with standard collocations.
× Uh, and also I have a big respect for the artists, so yeah.
✓ Uh, and I also have great respect for artists, so yeah.
Use 'great respect' (adjective + noun) and plural 'artists' without the definite article for general reference. 'A big respect' is not idiomatic; use 'great respect' or 'a lot of respect.' Remove extra filler 'and also' to improve fluency.
× Yeah, why not? For sure. I want, uh, I like and, uh, to go to the gallery and uh, sees other creativity and works.
✓ Yeah, why not? For sure. I like to go to galleries and see other people's creativity and works.
Errors: 'I want, uh, I like and, uh, to go' is redundant—choose 'I like to go.' Use plural 'galleries' for general visits. 'Sees' is wrong form; use base form 'see' after 'to' or after 'and'. Also 'other creativity and works' is clearer as 'other people's creativity and works.' Fixes include verb form and preposition/possessive usage.
× It makes me feel so good.
✓ It makes me feel so good.
No change needed. Present simple correctly describes a habitual or general feeling.
× Yes, I can say that I have the passion to learn and to get to know better the art and the artists such as the one who who draw the Mona Lisa and other artists like even Adolf Hitler who was an artist.
✓ Yes, I can say that I have a passion for learning and for getting to know art and artists better, such as the one who drew the Mona Lisa and even artists like Adolf Hitler.
Multiple issues: use 'a passion for' plus gerund 'learning' and 'getting to know' (preposition 'for' before gerund). 'The art' is too specific—use 'art' or 'artists' without 'the' for general meaning. 'Who who draw' contains repetition and wrong verb form; past tense 'drew' is required. Place 'even' before the example it modifies. This corrects modal/phrase usage and tense for historical fact.
× Did you learn drawing when you were a kid?
✓ Did you learn to draw when you were a kid?
After 'learn' we typically use the infinitive 'to draw' rather than the gerund 'drawing' when referring to acquiring the skill. 'Did you learn to draw' is the natural question form.
× Actually, I didn't have uh, like, uh, special tutor tutor or uh, like, uh, uh, I don't know, I didn't have even the time to learn, uh, drawing as a kid, but I was always curious, uh, uh, of the colors, about the colors and the, the.
✓ Actually, I didn't have a special tutor, and I didn't even have time to learn drawing as a kid, but I was always curious about colors.
Cleaned redundant fillers and corrected articles and prepositions: use 'a special tutor' (article) and 'didn't even have time' (word order). Use 'learn drawing' is acceptable, but 'learn to draw' is more common; both are possible. 'Curious of the colors' is incorrect; use 'curious about colors.' Remove trailing fragment.
