        Using my cellphone, I filmed and described my sketching process and asked a friend to turn them into neat videos ... Here is a glimpse into the letter "M": I hope many find it useful, especially when AI is erasing our creativity!

              I was able to download and watch your video. I thought it was very interesting, but I am not sure I fully understood the building you drew in the video.

              I enjoyed watching the video and your drawing talent. I am not sure I fully understood the building you drew but the process you used was very interesting. I enjoyed watching the different tools you used to create the drawing. I am not an artist, so I thought I might have learned some things from you. Maybe my age is holding me back a little πŸ™‚

              SketchUp has kind of priced me out of the market so I have been trying to learn how to use Blender, but it is a hard tool to learn (maybe it is another age issue :-)).

              For several years now though, I have enjoyed seeing your contributions to the forum and hope you continue to post things here for the whole world to enjoy and learn from. Keep it up!

                @ntxdave Dear Dave, due to your suggestion I am sharing this video for free as a gift to our lovely society:
                https://drive.google.com/file/d/15J6I6plQTkiBSfHnIzeV5pQghn8e73tY/view?usp=sharing
                This is based on the book A, B, Sketches, which is dedicated to creative thinking on forms and here the forms are inspired by the alphabet. I filmed 7 , short (6-11 min each) videos for each letter and here is the last video of the letter "M".
                I hope it helps you think creatively about any other "object," not only the alphabet solely...
                Also, I have tried to keep the tools very limited and simple: A pencil, a felt-tip pen, a black whiteboard marker are used for A-E, and gradually I have added a blue, a green, a brown, and a gray sketching marker. The core question is creative thinking and enjoying your time. I will share some more free samples here.

                    Finally, I shared the first series on Gumroad. It is on the letter "A", called THE ALPHABET OF FORM β€” β€œA”:
                    One may be inspired to make a 3D model of those sketches
