Uneventful day. But we shall appreciate these kind of days too :)

Meeting super like-minded people + some reflections on caricature drawing

Workaholic mode today. joinafa.org is now out!

Potential tip on choosing facial shape and some other finer things in drawing faces, caricature or not.

Loved the movie “The Greatest Showman”! Beautifully shot and touching. I love movies about dreams. Have the courage to dream and go after them!

Learnings from other people’s demo and thoughts on education

Random musings and next week’s rough plan!

Anything goes if you really put in the effort and rethinking marriage.

Some musings on grit.

If you know anyone who’s self-taught in a skill, please email me at brainfoodinator@gmail.com. I’d love to speak to them! Also, if you’ve got ideas around how to grow and engage brainfoodinator a community, please let me know. Let’s co-create!

A lot of the bad eyesight epidemic that’s seen worldwide and particularly in Asian countries could be a self-fulfilling prophecy.

Decided to take today off from serious project related stuff. Shared some musings on life, plus some reflections on natural vision improvement so far!

Posted the caricature drawing video on my blog! Also just ordered my first pair of transition glasses for natural vision improvement experiments. Will keep you posted!

After building a foundation, it's time to get creative with the shapes and sizes to make cartoon characters more humorous! Drawing requires problem-solving skills too - how to break big problems down into small pieces.

I'll explain more on meta-learning: how the same learning principles can be applied to learn any skill. Today is also Day 5 of the cartoon challenge. Although I didn't get to practice as much as I'd have liked, still appreciating the progress I've made! You should too :)

Day 4 of the cartoon challenge, I was too ambitious yesterday with what I wanted to practice today. But still on schedule to draw caricature live on camera this Saturday. Per listener's request, the 2nd segment of today's episode is on the Alexander Technique. For those of you interested in trying out some basic exercises at home, I'd recommend this video: https://youtu.be/-IoFyr-PSNM. Let me know how it goes!

Struggled with getting human body proportions right, but will schedule target practice tomorrow to fix it! Due to my back pain, I've researched into the Alexander Technique and spent quite some time reading and following workshops. I'll keep you posted if it works! p.s.Missed posting deadline, now the timestamp will show March 13th :S

Today's practice is mainly around cartoon accessories. Still learning all the key visual vocabulary, but hoping to start practicing caricature drawing soon. Also, I read into methods for natural vision improvement. I'll be the guinea pig, and will let you if it works!

Key learnings from day 1 of cartoon drawing challenge. Also, a surprising fact of the day!

A safe space for adult learners to find inspirations and be empowered to teach themselves new skills. Let's challenge traditional schooling together. Podcast format will be a personal audio journal, I00% unscripted and unedited. Risky, but raw and real! The stream-of-consciousness style. Thank you for joining me on the journey.
