    I am so glad that you are saying this about feeling uncomfortable about drawing people in public. A lot of artists or teachers tell you to do this and I am always like "Is nobody afraid of this? Because I kind of am..." It's good to hear I am not the only one feeling this way. :D Although I hope I can overcome this fear one day.

    Cats are weirdly difficult to draw, whenever I try to draw mine it just turns out as a blob with head an limbs awkwardly attached. A lot of yours turned out well tho, the face on the last one especially seemed to have depth even without shading. And buildings sounds like a great idea. They always seem so overwhelming in the beginning, but are a lot of fun once you commit to the sketch :)

    Ask to draw friends or use/take photos of friends, I practice with photos they don’t realize I’ve taken until I tell them about it so they look natural and there is no accidental forcing of poses, though do ask permission to take photos of friends, my friends r cool with it and they enjoy seeing the drawings I’ve made with the photos but not everyone would be cool with it

    It's easier said than done, but I promise you, the more your draw people in life, the easier it gets. I always draw people when I'm sitting at the airport terminals (I travel a lot for my full-time) because people are quick with their movements so they're about 30 second sketches or they're sleeping/looking at their phones and not paying attention to you. It will get easier!

    I just got my long-haired cat shaved for summer and it's been a revelation to see how her legs are built to wrap around the bulk of her belly and her chest. She's bow legged in front. The amount of skin that is loose like a blanket is amazing. I have been watching her and feeling her to see where the shoulder and hip joints are and how her legs fold. Drawing a skeleton is a great idea.

    I got the inspiration from your previous video to practice my watercolor mixing abilities using a randomly generated color palette. Like a Color Matching Challenge! It's my current struggle, particularly getting darker variation of the colors. Layering doesn't always reach the level of darkness I want T^T For a simple broad subject I'd enjoy watching you practice clothing and/or accessories. From plain casual looks to more extremes. Or for a specific subject I'd challenge you to draw the way people carry their pets. Cropped in to focus on the pet area and not the whole person. To practice the anatomy and difference between how kids carry a pet compared to adults or how a bunny is carried compared to a snake and other pets. Will be a mix of animals in interesting poses! These sketchbook sketching sessions are very enjoyable and educational, please keep them up regardless of the topic + w +

    I don't know if you already draw people from reallive now but if not, I can say to you it is Not that big of a deal! Most people won't recognize. And if they do most of them were really interested and think its good to train like this. Ido that a lot and did it since I was on an really early state of learning and everyone was really friendly. Also on an inking course the teacher told that when she studied art in china, she would ask people at a translation (in china are a lot of people everywhere I guess XD) even as a beginner and a lot later earned money with it because they wanted to keep her drawings. If you're not sure now, remember : Just do it! People don't know you anyway! ;)
