× Of course, drawing really makes me feel relaxed and I enjoy the color feel on the papers and that will hold my heart and bring more release.
✓ Of course, drawing really makes me feel relaxed, and I enjoy the colors on the paper; it warms my heart and helps me feel more relaxed.
The sentence uses awkward adjective/noun combinations and imprecise adverbial phrases. 'Color feel' is not a natural phrase; use 'colors'. 'Papers' should be singular 'paper' when referring to the surface. 'That will hold my heart and bring more release' is unnatural; 'warms my heart' and 'helps me feel more relaxed' are clearer. Also punctuation and coordination were improved to make the sentence flow. Suggestions: use natural collocations (e.g., 'colors on the paper', 'warms my heart'), keep consistent register, and join clauses with appropriate conjunctions and punctuation.
× Of course, in my free time, I usually go to the gallery on I I'd love the quiet atmosphere of the gallery, and I also immerse myself into the various. Drawings.
✓ Of course, in my free time I usually go to the gallery because I love its quiet atmosphere, and I immerse myself in the various drawings.
This sentence has broken structure and punctuation causing confusion. 'on I I'd' is a fragment and likely a speech repetition; remove it. 'Immerse myself into' is less natural than 'immerse myself in'. 'the various. Drawings' had an erroneous period. Suggestions: remove repetitions, use 'because' to link reason, use 'its' for gallery possession, and use 'in' with 'immerse'. Keep clauses concise.
× Actually, I want to learn more about the art because I think art can help us improve our mental appreciation and also improve our precision of the art around us.
✓ Actually, I want to learn more about art because I think art can help us improve our appreciation and our attention to the art around us.
Using 'the art' is unnecessary when speaking generally; use 'art'. 'Mental appreciation' is unnatural—'appreciation' suffices. 'Precision of the art around us' is awkward; 'attention to the art around us' or 'perception of the art around us' is clearer. Suggestions: drop unnecessary articles for general nouns and choose more natural noun collocations like 'appreciation' and 'attention'.
× Of course, I really love drawing. When I was a kid I often draw some house, some trees, some clouds and even a sound on the skies. I think driving really makes me concentrated.
✓ Of course, I really loved drawing. When I was a kid I often drew houses, trees, clouds, and even sounds in the sky. I think drawing really helped me concentrate.
Tense and verb forms are incorrect. 'When I was a kid' requires past tense: use 'loved' and 'drew' instead of 'love' and 'draw'. Use plural forms for general lists: 'houses, trees, clouds'. 'A sound on the skies' is unnatural; 'sounds in the sky' fits. 'Driving really makes me concentrated' appears to be a mistaken word; likely 'drawing' and 'concentrated' should be 'helped me concentrate'. Suggestions: keep past tense consistent when describing childhood, use past simple for habitual past actions, use plural nouns for general items, and use 'concentrate' (verb) rather than 'concentrated' (adjective) with 'helped me'.
