I’d be so grateful for your help with a review of the podcast Stumbling Toward Genius on iTunes.
How freeing to hear struggles with sketching. I’m a terrible drawer but great at abstract art, but I dream of being able to sketch.
This has given me the courage to explore. Thank you!
I’m glad you are emboldened to play with drawing, Tania!
