One of the most immensely enjoyable ted talks out there by an extremely talented human being, truly humble...

[@m.r.s.creations6625]

This would be great if you had a camera setup so we can see everything he's doing. I'm sad that I cannot see everything he is drawing.

[@SaskatoonCherry]

Came here to say this!

[@jessicawilson2964]

I love how he draw the words and turned it into animals. When drawing he has to move a bit so that they can see what your doing.

[@dailyreactive]

Such a lovely guy, I love how he believes in everyone and demystifyies talent over willpower.
Great sense of humour too.

[@carolinenafula4238]

[@immortalsun]

False. Anyone can draw if they have enough practise.

[@alexalex-si4hl]

@@immortalsun no, creativity is Genetic

[@insanityyyy]

@@alexalex-si4hl creativity is genetic yes but skill is not , skill is learnt , skill is taught anyone with motivation and satisfaction can be good at what they want

[@ychia76]

Not a gift nor genetics, influences from other artists … practice makes permanent. You do it long enough at the 10 year mark you can be the expert in what you do.

[@egffge6015]
