Draw, yes. Talk? Yikes!
Hi -
I can relate to this subject. I recently got my courage up again to draw in public. Years ago, for two summers, I did those profile sketches they sell at Busch Gardens, and it was - "no sell, no eat". Talk about a motivator! I'm shy by nature, but I learned that I can sell, and I can work in front of a crowd. The main key is - to not think much about the people - concentrate on the drawing. And a lot of positive self-talk, being your own cheerleader. Letting negative thoughts take over is death to any good likeness I want to achieve.
But - talking in public - especially while drawing or painting? Wow! Chris, I've thought about doing Toastmaster's. Glad to hear a good report about it.
Does anyone else see a difference between drawing as compared to painting in public? I can do the former, but the latter takes so much concentration right now I can't imagine it.
