a drawing lesson from danny gregory at Everyday Matters <~

Always carry a pen.
The best way is to be still.
Everyone can do it, except those who say they can't.
Forget your eraser. There are no mistakes. Only lessons.
Don't do it for fame. Do it for you.
Don't seek beauty. See it.
Everyone's perfect pen is different.
Learn from others. But don't be an imitation.
No books, no teachers, no system, can teach you as much as practice.
If you don't like a drawing, turn the page and do another.
Study how kids do it.
A forest is just a lot of trees. A tree is just a lot of leaves. And you know how to draw a leaf.
Value everything you make.
Give your drawings away.
If you can do it perfectly, it’s boring.
It's all about the Now. That's why it's called a drawing, not a drawn.
Know when to stop.

great stuff. should go draw now.
