We visited the ZOO today and I managed to steal a few moments to scribble in my moleskin. I am too embarrassed to draw in public (because people like to look and I draw like a kindergartener) so I hide and scribble in a matter of seconds. It is extra bad but the point is - it doesn't matter how bad it is... whenever I sketch something I remember more details than a perfect photo shows. I don't know why but everything about the scene remains engraved in my mind. It is fun and rewarding and please try it sometimes and let me know how it felt.
