I met a little boy on the train today and he was quick to spot me sketching, sometimes I wonder why children always spot me and are free to start talking straightaway. He saw the pens I used to sketch and instantly told his mum he wanted to get that pen. His mum was quick to tell him getting the Pen would not produce sketches like he saw, but constant practice. I encouraged him to draw everyday....
