Drawing
Drawing is a skill anyone can get better at.
Don’t allow yourself to be frozen by perfection.
It takes the practice of line work, perspective & shading to improve.
What will you gain? Better imagination, better hand-eye coordination & better observation skills.
New artists see great works of art everywhere, but what you don’t see are all the bad drawings and the hundreds of attempts that were not so great.
