      The process of sketching can also help one relax the mind, observe and appreciate life better. It is true for most art processes. Good luck.

    Excellent as always. I do sketch a lot of humans in privacy. One time, recently, I went ahead and did so in a public place and everyone seemed to know I was doing that. You gave the reason they knew. My head kept moving up to see and back down to draw. I don’t like attracting attention to myself however everyone else was looking at their phones which is not very original so I tried to just be me and not worry about the strangers around me. Thank you!

    Once I also had a fear of drawing people out in public. BUT after I participated in an internet drawing marathon and at the final lesson we all had to draw in public, for some reason I felt like I have the right to draw as well :)))) Besides, this excuse - that it's a marathon, what can I do, that's the task, you kno' - that would help me explain my behavior, I thought. If someone asks. But noone did. So I stopped bothering since. That time drawing alone in a street due to the task of the marathon opened the floodgates :))
