      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!

      Press F1...thank me later

        @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
