Black and white pictures

[Rachel Adams]

Is "black and white pictures" correct and should it be "never feel tired after/of it" or "never get tired after/of it"?


"I have two hobbies, but my favourite is drawing. I like drawing black and white pictures. I can spend hours drawing and never feel tired after it. Drawing brings me a lot of satisfaction. For me it's the best way to relax."

Try that.

Your example is OK along with alternatives and teechar's.

Is "never get tired" also correct? Are "after it" and "of it" ungrammatical?

Is "never get tired" also correct? Are "after it" and "of it" ungrammatical?

The phrase "never get tired after it" is not natural. These are natural:

- never get tired.

- never get tired of it.

There's a difference between getting tired in general and getting tired of one activity. Someone might get tired of drawing but have plenty of energy for other things.

From the context, it sounds like you mean "never get tired of it." But both make sense.
