I know someone who is interested in art, especially the routine that artists follow when drawing. Does any member know of a short video showing a professional artist doing a quick pencil portrait from start to finish? I imagine there's thousands on Youtube, the problem is fishing out the good videos. I'd be pleased to hear your views.

Yes, Sylvia has picked out a top-drawer artist with Adebanji. He is indeed a prolific figure and portrait artist who works in all medium. He is a frequent contributor to 'The Artist' magazine, imparting some great words of wisdom which are nothing short of inspirational and certainly motivational. I was only watching a programme about his life a couple of weeks ago, he is a compulsive sketcher and never goes anywhere without a sketchbook and pencil and has won many awards - certainly my first choice.

Look out for Adebanji in the April issue of The Artist - he will be launching a new sketching competition too!
With Sarah, Phil, Ellen, Rose the dentist, and the granddaughter whose name I forget.

I wish he would bottle his enthusiasm and send a litre of it down here - he makes me feel as if I've died and don't yet realize it....
