Everyone at different levels, with strengths in various skills. Plus it's a fun workout :) if you're looking for a new hobby, give the kendama a try, i'm sure you won't regret it!

I have always wanted to draw, and really admired artists and graphic designers who would. I loved their art but inside I was insanely jealous that I couldn't create the same beauty with my hands. Or so I thought, until one day I stumbled upon Skillshare and in particular one class that took things from 0 to hero overnight for me. In my experience it's not enough to just have the right tools at the right time, the right mindset has be there too, for the magic to even get started.I've listed the books, tools, and apps that helped me learn more about what I could really do (draw). As well as some easter eggs with some finished fabrics amongst I designed as a result of this class amongst one of the recommendations. These recommendations took me from being a non-believier in my capability for creativity. To realising my childhood dream of becoming a Surface Pattern Designer, and creating repeat patterns for fabric for dressmaking. PLUS designing stationery that kept me organised. I'm so glad I get to share this with you!
