What graphics apis do you like and why?
I don't hate the one I wrote for Alloy's Simple renderer protocol: https://github.com/Shirakumo/alloy/blob/master/renderers/simple/protocol.lisp

A free demo for Kandria (written in CL) is now on Steam
Fwiw I'm not using Qtools in Kandria, but rather Alloy https://github.com/shirakumo/alloy
- Should I learn OpenGL, or try building a graphics engine from scratch ?

I’m looking to contribute to docs
Yes, Alloy could definitely use documentation!

Using Common Lisp to do GPU accelerated animations
Use CL-SDL2 (https://github.com/lispgames/cl-sdl2) for simple 2d rendering. It's both GPU-accelerated and portable to many platforms. You can use CL-SDL2 along with CL-OPENGL (https://github.com/3b/cl-opengl) for OpenGL programming, provided you have knowledges about 2d/3d graphics programming.

Should I learn OpenGL, or try building a graphics engine from scratch ?
Once you understand CFFI you can hop into OpenGL or Vulkan land. We have bindings for those: very mature and stable cl-opengl and partial cl-vulkan. Meaning, you will have easier time with OpenGL. Not only because of better bindings, but also OpenGL is much simpler than Vulkan, although still a mess.
What are some alternatives?
When comparing alloy and cl-opengl you can also consider the following projects:
jak-project - Reviving the language that brought us the Jak & Daxter Series
trivial-gamekit - Simple framework for making 2D games
weblog - a weblog
