SPECIAL QUOTE
"For our purposes we will define a habit as the intersection of knowledge, skill and desire. Knowledge is the theoretical paradigm, the what to do and the why. Skill is the how to do. And the desire is the motivation, the want to do. In order to make something a habit in our lives, we have to have all three."-Stephen R. Covey-The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People

Thanks Wayne! You guys were purely PRO!!!!
I loved this video! In the last 10 years I've become a fanatic sketcher, drawing whatever is around me, including my left hands and feet if nothing else appears!
I'm interested in the teeny move we see you make in the video right after you put on the glove, when you make a move over the sketch with your brush, then apparently transfer that move to the painting--in at attempt to capture the same energy of the original sketch in your painting copy? It's those tiny insights that help us learn what we could try, too!
Thanks Nita-I am happy you are really giving your sketching the best shot over 10 years-that's terrific!
The very place that interests you- is exactly what I am doing. I do this when I transfer my sketches into paintings. I try my best not to loose the initial spontaneity that the first sketch has but also I'm watching for measurements, angles and planes. It's pure fun based solely on observation.
Thanks, Adebangji! Trying painting is my next move :-) But I agree, sketching is for the pure fun of observing and attempting to catch the moment on paper.
I've enjoyed following your blog.This video and your art are OUTSTANDING! You are inspiring with your art and your shining enthusiasm.
Thanks Tapirgal!

So after seeying your interview, it was a MUST to leave a comment =)
I did cryed, maybe because i just had to listen to what you said, about following our dreamings!
You were very inspired and a new motivation for my "sleeping dreams"...
And I totaly agree with you about sketching people in the public transports, and they do tell a story with they expression =)I love to do it too!
Well thanks for your testimony!
Thanks dc for taking out time to put a warm and inspired comment here! I pray your dreams come true! Keep sketching!
Thank you for your inspirational video - loved your enthusiasm for sketching and some of the things you said were exactly what I needed to hear. You would make a great teacher.

Banji,you are such an inspiration and you always seem to be bursting with enthusiasm. It's always a thrill to see your sketching and your daily activity. Much respect to you, sir.
Thanks Lee!!!
Such an inspirational video interview, you have such passion! I am a Photographer and keen Sketcher, just recently realised where my love of Photography came from, art and drawings and sketches! And so bought a sketchbook this morning and will get back to it, I too am fascinated by people's stories and sketching them to keep them alive, all the best, great work!!
