Sometimes I feel a bit self-conscious sharing this kind of thing, but every now and then it’s nice to pause and appreciate the little smiles.

I log in a few times a week to read through comments on my courses and respond to all of them, giving feedback and answering questions – and today I was met with a wave of kind feedback, all from the last 24 hours on the Beginner’s Course.

It honestly means so much to hear that the course is helping people overcome their fear of cityscapes, find joy in tricky details like tangled wires, or just feel a bit more confident putting pen to paper. That’s what it’s all about.

Thanks to everyone who’s left a comment – I see you, and it really does keep me going!

💸 Read This = £25 Off!

Hate perspective? Yeah, same. But turns out, you can totally sketch complex perspective without the headache. In this video, we kind of... ignore perspective, and somehow it all works out. Magic? Maybe. Luck? Probably. Either way, it’s fun.

🎥 Watch here: https://youtu.be/N4N_bIGW-bk

And if you like this loose but somehow effective approach, check out my courses at SketchyYouth.co.uk, where I do cover perspective—but still keep it fun, relaxed, and slightly rebellious.

💥 First 5 people get £25 off any course with this code: 25OFF on www.sketchloose.co.uk/courses

Once it’s gone, it’s gone—so grab it while you can! 🚀 #PerspectiveIsOptional #SketchLoose #YouCanDoIt

A 'detailed' sketch? Surely not, it must be a lie! Certainly doesn't sound fun does it.

And how can 'detailed' be loose?!

If you think this all sounds ridiculous... definitely watch this video!
