ANOTHER READER SHARES HER SKETCH FROM LEARNING HERE. SEE MY REVIEW.

Tolulope recently shared the outcome of her sketch recently after learning from my blog "Basic steps on how to sketch" . Trust me, I'm amazed at what she came up with. After seeing her submission, I had to give myself a pat at the back and told myself, Girl, you are a great teacher. I'm proud of your work Tol and that of others who have submitted. My review  I love the way you labeled the sketch analysing the croquis  Just the way I taught you here .  Your measurement is on point  The waistline, hipline, bustline, neckline and the knee line well placed.  But, your hips have to be well curved next time and make it proportional.  Overall, good job, good try for a starter. I'm proud of you.

Naturally, one of the things I missed the most while being away was the food. So I tried going to one of my favourite African restaurants to order some. Everything seemed normal until I tried to place an order. I asked for beans and plantain... the waiter said I could have one or the other, but not the two at the same time. I was confused. I decided to go for Jollof rice and chicken. Same story. Pounded yam and Egusi??? No, sorry, it...
