Draw Slowly Without Rushing as a Beginner and Feel Calm While You Draw

one more request: How to get into flow state.. :)

Anna, I love how you keep thinking ahead like this. Flow state is such a beautiful thing to be curious about.
I really appreciate you sharing these ideas with me. They’re thoughtful and genuinely helpful to hear. I can’t promise anything right away, but I’m definitely paying attention 😊

Anna, I really admire the patience in this. Even in the cup sketch, I can see you taking your time with the curves and structure. There’s a quiet focus in those lines.And your portrait is beautiful. The eyes feel especially strong and expressive, and I love the detail in the flowers and the hand. You can really feel the care you’ve put into it over those days.It’s inspiring to see you commit to slowing down like this. It really shows.

Wow!!! Thank you so very much!! Do you take class requests? I only ask this, I do have a few. You've already covered a lot that beginners do have questions about. Thank you so much for your feedback!!

Anna, I actually love requests. They really help me understand what would be most useful to create next, so if there’s something specific you’d like to explore, I’d genuinely love to hear it.
And truly, thank you again for your review. The way you described your slow drawing journey and the clarity you found in the class really touched me. I’m so grateful you took the time to share that.

Wow thank you! I don't know where to message you about the requests, so I'll just leave them here. Hopefully they won't overwhelm you, but I do have slight few. My Requests: 1.) How to take work breaks (like after working 15 minutes, etc.) 2.) How to get out of an art block slump. 3.) How to work on multiple projects. Thank you so much for getting back to me quickly and for the responses. They do mean a lot. 

Anna, this doesn’t overwhelm me at all. I actually really appreciate how clearly you wrote these out. They’re thoughtful questions.
I love that you’re noticing things like breaks, art blocks, and juggling projects. That shows you’re not just drawing, you’re thinking about how to sustain it long term.
I can’t promise I’ll cover everything right away, but these are genuinely helpful ideas for future classes. Thank you for trusting me with them.
And truly, your engagement and your review mean more than you know.

Thank you so very much for your feedback honestly! That's what I love how interactive Skillshare is really is. Looking forward to seeing the class when you have time! (I know time is such a generous thing with our busy schedules!)  Edit to add the last request: how to refine loose sketches. :)

Anna, I really appreciate how clearly you think about what would help you grow. Refining loose sketches is such a good one too. Thank you for taking the time to share all of this with me, it genuinely helps 😊

You're very welcome! Thank you so much for taking the time to make the classes and responding back!! :D

Anna, I’m really grateful for your ideas. I actually just published a new class inspired by your earlier question about creative blocks.
It’s part of a small series I’m building slowly. Your requests genuinely help shape it.
Thank you again for being so thoughtful and engaged.

You're very welcome and thank you so much!

Including in the photos is the cup project. And my Selna Gomez portrait that I've already spent a week on (9 days, started on Feb 5th.) I am growing my patience as I endevar my usual 3 week portrait drawing.
