Answer
Hello.....it is never to late to find a hidden talent...so 24 is not too old [Colonel Sanders didn't franchise his chicken business until he was 65 years old].

2. It seems as if you are describing abstract work with your colorized drawings.

3. Go to an art supply store and speak with the staff person, and they can help you out.  If you don't have one...go to dickblick.com and look at their inventory.  

They have a customer Q&A and I would send your questions to them about the pencil, white board, etc.

Good luck,
