    I just wanted to say that your channel brings me a lot of joy and comfort. I love drawing , and your videos have such a zen mindset about it that it helps in reminding me to not be so hard on myself when doing it! (Also about how it can better my mental health!) Thank you, please keep up these lovely videos!

    I love your 'Dad Joke' email titles - don't ever change! 😂
    I'm drawing while I listen to this! Well, I'm actually refining some sketches I did outdoors. I don't do en plein anywhere near as much as I should and I've really enjoyed it. 😊
    I'm currently using a tiny square sketchbook (4" x 4") and I find it perfect when the idea of being creative overwhelms me, even though I want to. 😊

    Danny, you are a great incentive to draw. My new way to draw is the scrapbook/ sketchbook. You buy a sketchbook and stick pictures that inspirer you on the left hand side of the book, then on the right hand side you draw or paint. Also add words of wisdom to motivate yourself.

    Danny ❤ I love your channel so much. Both as a creative person and a small business owner, your content resonates so much with me. I joined Draw with me twice and really enjoyed it. I have to set a reminder so I do it every week.
    Thank you for talking openly about the fears that so many of us experience when starting our artist journey. Your videos inspire me and give me courage, in Art and in life. 😊 thank you

    You are giving me a completely different view of drawing and crafts, generally. I hate schedules but heck, you are right. Maybe I need a bit more organization in my days? I wish someone had said some of this to me when i was 30!! No, how about 12? I wouldn't try something and then give up because I don't think I have the talent/gift.

    Speaking of HABITS:
    My aunt, sister Mary Elaine, was showing her colleagues her new wardrobe that seemed to spontaneously and regularly appear, without effort or expense.
    When questioned about it, Sister matter-of-factly replied:
    Haven't you heard?
    When you _do something_
    for 21 days,
    it becomes a *habit!*
    Note: In Jimmy Carter's case,
    it becomes a *habitat*

    I was quite "lazy" with my sketchbook... It seems to be a giant task to fill it up. As a content creator, I got this mentality of I must record every time I draw or paint or sketch. I should settle down with just draw or paint or sketch without any recording. Just do it as a habit. The more I don't do art, the lazy I become. Later I have to be doing art again. Do it for passion for art, not rather just for CZcams.

      You don’t necessarily have to record all of your paintings and drawings. You can always take a break from recording your art. If you are ready, go back to it.

    The drawing habit is bested piggy backed on to another habit, so I go walking to new places and draw a map and notes. I go birdwatching I draw a map. Both types of maps have little illustrations.

    Black and white and a nun's habit? I went to a Catholic college, and Sister Mary Thomas the math professor, with her 4 chins and the wooden yardstick that she brandished at all times, stomping around the lecture hall, is still a recurring nightmare 40 years later!
