    I am a beginner very excited to go out all over my town. GLAD you said it's dor beginners. It seems to me that there just comes a time for buying art dooks, and that time is NOW. I am glad it is small, loose and lively! I bought a lot of paints and watercolor brush markers to yty with my waterbrushes.. Thanks so much for reviewing it!!!

    +Winnona Carter I don't think so. It's very tedious to publish a book. The marketing and selling of the book is even more tedious. That's what I've learned from friends who have published books. 😂

    I really like the bullet form tips that MikeD used to make his awesome Book. You pronounced Juan ( wuan ) correctly the first time! You have much better English than I do my friend! I live in a city where we have the Largest inner city park in the world! It it so completely different, from season to season. That I really enjoy going there just to sit, and to look out, on to the vast tehran. There is on spot that if you where to stand on the north side looking south, and then again on the south side looking north. It's is so different that one would never guess, they are connected by a bridge. Our hole city is separated by water. Everything south of 95ave, is like a different world. It just feels different because of the University and all the cute shops, and housing. We are not allow to build higher than 3 floors, which gives the massive trees all he room they need to grow! Hey you know what!? I just had this great idea! It would be fun to be apart of a Sketching forum. Where we all take turns submitting photos, of different places of our cities. Then we can all submit our works. And everybody can submit different places from around the world. That way we can still be able to " travel ". With out spending lots of money that it takes to go places. And maybe once a year, we can all get together and have 2-3 days as a sketch conference. Where we all take turns displaying our works, and talking about them from the last year or so. And mostly walking around and sketching, yeah! We can all vote on different places, to go, and if there are other places that are close by, thane we can go there? I think that sounds like so much fun! I have a great idea, for the name of our Forum. It should be called " sketchers anonymous ". We could all sketch our selfs, and then choose a funny name to go by. Maybe we can do 2-3 uploads a week? And anyone can do an up load different things that they like, such as; "I just got these awesome watercolour brushes by LANIAKEA! 6 Pieces water Brush Pen sets, from 01- 10 , 01 is a fine point synthetic brush, with shorter bristles. It doesn't have much flex, great for fine detail, and line work. The pen lid has a screw on top, with a pen clip to attach on to a page or some thing. The water vessel holds about 3/4ths of 1 fluid ounce. Wright below the top of the vessel, is a " push symbol" that is embossed, and wording is slightly raised as well, and it makes you want to press it down. The threads on the bristles cartridge, is fine. Which insurers a tight lock, and no water seepage. I believed I payed around $13.00 on Amazon. The range of brushes from loose and floppy to tight and pointed and slightly fanned out. I think this is a great purchase and I am really happy with the quality for what I payed! Good job, LANIAKEA! Something like that. And maybe under our profile we could do a funny travel storey? And submit a sketch or two about that memory. Like; " remember going into this cute/posh art store in London, and bought a set of Winston watercolour pencil crayons, and I rubber cement eraser. I walked out of the store, and herd all this screaming. And right around the corner was the " Premier of the second last Harry Potter!" So I hung around, and snapped a few pictures, and wondered back to the tube, and returned to my Hostel. Wright down the street from Paddington Station. I'm not sure if your apart of any such thing? But I think it would be great if you would want to be apart of something like that? I know that I have thought of different ways to be apart of a community, that really loves to draw like I do. So what do you think Teoh Yi Chie? Let me know?

    You idea sounds fun but it's a lot of work to stick to a schedule. Most people just want to sketch for fun, for leisure. I know because sometimes I find it to be quite tiring to post sketches online too. lol. But you can do it on your own, on your own blog and inspire others.

    I though about the time thing too? Maybe if it where a once a month thing, in the beginning to see how many people would like to be apart? What do you think ? If there was no pressure to create or post. Maybe that would be more intriguing and fun, with out any type of commitment? That already sounds way cooler.
