Google tells me that ‘A gym is a club, building, or large room, usually containing special equipment, where people go to do physical exercise and get fit. … Gym is the activity of doing physical exercises in a gym, especially at school.’ If you substitute the word ‘physical’ for the word ‘drawing’ or even more specifically ‘doodling’. Below you will find an unedited (as yet) video documenting my three top tips for the ‘special equipment’.
