It gathers together the lessons from ‘Animal Inkdom’ and ‘Magical Inkdom’, adding more drawings/illustrations that encourage me so much! (Those were my favourite courses.)

And I enjoyed reading about how your dad’s drawings of horses influenced you. My grandma used to draw and paint roses in watercolor and portraits of her grandchildren in oils, and I never imagined then how much of a lasting connection to her those memories and paintings would give me.

Thank you, Cynthia! I like how you brought up the tactile feel of a marker, I never thought of that but can relate. When drawing on iPad with an Apple Pen, I enjoy the tactile feel, which has been quite surprising.

Thank you, Joan! By clicking the gear wheel and choosing 0,5 you can watch the video in a slower pace.

I recognize a lot in them from your fabulous courses, which I certainly encourage people to take. I got lot’s out of it.

Maybe there is something about the ink thing – when I was a child I used to love drawing with a black marker. That and paint. Something about the tactile quality they have, which I enjoyed much more than pencil. Though maybe pencils got a different association because that was what I used at school.

Having choices is also very liberating.

Looking forward to see what you come up with next!

Inspirational as usual, Pavii.
