I just added in post with Alia's drawing study here
I just finished drooling over her and writing a book comment.
It can feel like that when away from it. All the skills stay, it's just a matter of getting back in the flow again. It can be daunting, but, at the same time, it's obvious you've put a great deal of practice in prior to being away from it for a long while.
It was drilled into me to take a sketchbook with me everywhere, so much so it became an automatic practice to this day.

You're right about cilantro. Paired with chlorella, the both of them work as a team to remove heavy metals from the body. One bonds, the other carries it out of the body. I forget which does which.
That's probably the best compliment I've ever gotten about my drawings. Thank you @nineclaws!
Yeah, practice is everything. You can be incredibly talented, but without practice it will all go to nothing.
What I am talking about is closer to muscle memory. I want to train my hands and eyes so that I don't have to think about how to draw but what I am drawing. So that my focus is completely on my subject and not on whether the hand should be drawn at this or that angle in order to make anatomical sense. That's why I returned to basics, like anatomy, so to up my skills to the point, my drawing become organic and natural, not 'practice' or 'training'. Does that make any sense?
Sketchbook should be always with you, never know what will be worth to capture on your way! That is a good habit!
It's just great. I honestly didn't expect my hate of dill will escalate to existential conversations and cult status 😀
Good go for extremes sometimes:)
There you go! I was missing some chemistry mystery sense there, that what was what gave me some doubt's about it. Thank you very much! This way I know I am not torturing myself for nothing:)
You're welcome! I always appreciate real creativity and the evident hard work of repeat practice to express it.
Exactly.
I'm laughing. Been there so many times for so long and still end up there when out of practice. You're absolutely right. Everything you said made complete sense to me since it's pretty close to my own approach. It's always effective.
The always with a sketchbook thing took some effort to get in the habit with. I don't carry a phone, but I do still carry a sketchbook😄.
It's discussions like these that fuel creative ideas and why is it I keep feeling dill lurking in the background of my creative landscape wanting to mutate into some weird monster thing? Might even catch on if we spread it to others.
The cilantro, nope, you're not torturing yourself for nothing. Plants are so interesting.
Sketchbook over phone, this is the way!
First time in my life I am glad I don't like dill :D
The phone I have stays home, have never liked to carry it...just one more thing to think of, deal with, bother about.
😂 I'm never going to see dill the same again.
I have my music and audiobooks on my phone, so I have to have it on me at all times 😁
Yeag, dill become an excellent quality bite:)
I have it on an old ipod that doesn't have wifi capability. I see we both like audiobooks also, lol.

p.s. Sleep well, may the dill monster not destroy your dreams.
This is the way!!!
Oh, yeah, I definitely depend on audiobooks. Since I become adult I don't have as much time as I use to to read books, and I do constantly miss that. So audiobooks help to fill this huge hole in my life :D Nothing can replace paper book for me(hate kindle/tablets all that stuff), but it is something :)
'Dill-icious'
How about 'Dill - custing'?
BURN IT!!!
