Relearning the lesson that the problem isn't always where you think it is - this time while learning to sketch buildings. Also, remembering early Zefrank, great advice, reliving WWDC when it had a playlist, Thurber and White ask "Is sex necessary", Manoush wonders why it seems everyone has ADHD, Maggie links to a border crossing cat, and Natalia has a new book on SwiftUI.

313 - Sketch

@dimsumthinking Good luck with drawing :) Growing up, I could draw (a bit). Then I lost all artistic ability. Both my parents were commercial artists and were disappointed in me not following them. Not that I wanted to. See, imagine, transfer. That's what you're learning. My aphantasia removed my ability to image (literally). I'm trying to sketch again as well. I need to work through disappointment ;) Stay healthy.

@SergKoren Thank you - let's compare notes as we go if you think it will motivate us. I am, so far, enjoying the journey

@dimsumthinking Will do.I checked out the video you referenced. Good info. Perspective is something I understood (from my parents). It’s a great explanation, but still tough to do correctly.
