here is another by Oliver Herford.
Project Gutenberg's Confessions of a Caricaturist, by Oliver Herford
https://www.gutenberg.org/files/21676/21676-h/21676-h.htm
A little about him - poet, writer and artist.

Quote 2 here puts me in mind of the type of fan who draws without learning anything about anatomy.
Its not really difficult - it just takes self-belief and determination. You can do it.
[Known for his wit, once when a fellow Lamb's member declared how grossly insulted he was after overhearing that another member wanted to offer him $50 to resign from the club, Herford replied "Hold out for a hundred, you'll get it".]
