I have just started taking art classes myself. You have articulated a lot of the inner struggles I go through. Your essays were such a joy to read. Thank you for sharing your experience:)

Bravo! You stuck with it and conquered. What I learned from my artist mom and sister, drawing people is extremely challenging. I think it's part knowledge and definitely a gift you are born with.

“I’m going to outwit, outplay and outlast resistance!” Yes!! Whatever the question, creativity is the answer.
