My friend, who is coming next week to stay, has been encouraging me on FB to get started...

I've been watching charcoal drawing videos on YouTube
I'm scared to start my drawing

[Vicky Van]

so don't eff it up

[Me]

[Me]

If you wake up tomorrow and the universe has ended, you will know I made a mistake

[Vicky Van]
DON"T

[Me]

[Vicky Van]

Its good to see that you are humble enough to appreciate the works of others , but now its time to let loose your unbridled ego , there is nothing you cant do . Most good artists are pretty obsessive so they never give up on their quest of their holy grail - artistic gratification - thats right , no matter how good they seem to be to you , they all believe their artistic promised land lies just around the corner. For every success there are piles of trial & error , every bit of which goes into the learning process - its all about the journey . Like with life, one has to risk the chance of a good result, to push through the boundaries of what you thought you could do . And grow .

So, you're saying I've let myself in for a life of perpetual disappointment and anxiety...

Thanks, that sounds GREAT!
