In response to your wishes.

After three years of drawing, this is where I was at. A classic homework assignment. Yes, that's right folks. Get out a paper bag, and draw it. Each one took two hours to draw. Boooo-RING! Right? I did still lifes for the first three years of art classes. And check the date to see how long ago that was. Then do the math.

I get lots of people saying they wished they could draw like me. This is what I want to show you.

You CAN and WILL draw like me if you put in 14 years of drawing. Draw daily and you will improve. I promise you. Draw daily and purposefully, and you will improve in greater leaps. Set goals, and you will have direction in which to improve.

There is no secret to instant success in art. Do it. Live it. Breathe it. Be it. Don't wish. Just art. And have fun!

It was only this year I let the pressure off and starting letting loose and really nitty-gritty enjoying what I was doing, and I realized my perfectionism was getting the best of me. Have fun, boys and girls, you only have one life to live and one art journey to go through. We are human, and we can let that show.



I have said these words so many times, I have decided to upload this as a testament to my beliefs. It is going to mar the meticulously arranged main gallery folder of mine as a reminder to everyone of how I feel. Because you cannot just draw, you MUST practice.
