I can draw now. But i struggle with the pre-drawing preparations like stretching the paper on a board, what board to use, what paper is to be stretched on that board and a million other things that an individual cannot learn without any help and there are basically no one who is teaching us how to do that stuff. I have attached one of my Portraits, i know you must get a million images for critiques and such, but i don't want that. All i want is to say thankyou so so much, because you have taught me this from thousands of miles away and that is like the coolest thing ever. Thankyou for everything !! Love from India !!

Hi Proko !! There's a lot of tutorials and teachings on internet about drawing and paintings but there are basically no tutorials about Pre- drawing/painting preparations. (By that i mean, how to stretch a paper on a board for drawing purposes, what board we should use, what paper is to be stretched on that board, etc. ). I have learned a lot from you over the years i would like to take a moment to thank you for all the wisdom you have shared with us. You're A real life Yoda man !!
