    I'm 55 years old and recently diagnosed with Cancer, but I decided now to start learning how to draw and enjoy art and your videos are a large part of my learning process. Never too late to learn. Thank you.

      The process of sketching can also help one relax the mind, observe and appreciate life better. It is true for most art processes. Good luck.

    Excellent as always. I do sketch a lot of humans in privacy. One time, recently, I went ahead and did so in a public place and everyone seemed to know I was doing that. You gave the reason they knew. My head kept moving up to see and back down to draw. I don’t like attracting attention to myself however everyone else was looking at their phones which is not very original so I tried to just be me and not worry about the strangers around me. Thank you!

    Once I also had a fear of drawing people out in public. BUT after I participated in an internet drawing marathon and at the final lesson we all had to draw in public, for some reason I felt like I have the right to draw as well :)))) Besides, this excuse - that it's a marathon, what can I do, that's the task, you kno' - that would help me explain my behavior, I thought. If someone asks. But noone did. So I stopped bothering since. That time drawing alone in a street due to the task of the marathon opened the floodgates :))
