I liked the bit about how to draw in public. However, how would you go about it when you're a slow draftsman with a lousy visual memory? Making a "mental snapshot" while casually glancing at your subject doesn't seem to work for me. I tried some quick self-portraits in a mirror and I needed to observe at least 10 s to register the features of my own face. If I look any shorter, nothing sticks in my visual memory. That's probably also why I'm so bad at recognizing faces (even of my close relatives, who seem strangers to me until after a second of two of seeing their faces). Any suggestions? Hi Raul!
