This was by far the most pleasant and enjoyable podcast of yours that I've heard/watched -- it really clicked with me. A lot of good practical advice, and very relatable experiences that you described: about fearing to screw up the sketchbook, about wanting to keep a very high level with all of the drawings in there etc. I found the solution for me was to just stop caring and to dump everything in there (I mean literally everything) -- it's a mess and I love it. Although improving my organisation skills might be a good idea too. Thank you, @Marshall Vandruff and Stan!

This was a great discussion. Marshall - you mentioned sketching kids and I wondered if there is an etiquette around sketching people in public such as on trains, cafes and the beach without their knowledge?

Hello Marshall and Stan, I enjoyed this episode a lot. As a beginner to drawing it does feel crucial to allow & remind myself to "fail fast". However I want to ask about how to determine the sweet spot between pushing yourself and allowing mistakes (imperfections?) in your sketches for learning. Today I was trying to draw simplified joints, the first practice in Proko's anatomy course - and realized my perspective skill is so damn POOR. Some bones are supposed to be cylindrical but the ellipses I drew at the end of the bones just look SO BAD. So in the end I spent most of the time trying to figure out the rights angles of the major/minor axises, making careful perspective drawings of cylinders etc, instead of getting familiar with the joints. Am I leading myself astray here? Or is it normal, even encouraged for a beginner like me to do a bunch of careful perspective practices first anyway? (Anybody else who read this post, please let me know your thoughts too.)

@Sirius have you solved your dilemma regards perspective studies vs moving on with the class? I’m having a similar issue with Figure Drawing Fundamentals course, and I’ve decided to add a few lessons on perspective before moving on, and am not sure whether I’m too concerned with accuracy and trying to get to the bottom of the issue immediately.
