Seeing my daily hand sketches on social media, a friend who
wants to learn to draw has been giving it a shot, too. Discouraged by her own
attempts, she would comment that mine looked like “art” while hers – didn’t. Repeating
my usual mantra about how it’s all just practice, I said that the only difference
between her drawings and mine was that I have been practicing longer.
I realized that a demonstration would be more effective than
words, so I dug out my very first sketchbook. The sketch above was made in
January 2012 just a few months after I began to draw. I struck the same pose
for the sketch I made that day (below) and posted both together for my friend.
Is one “art” and the other “not art”? Nope – the only difference
is eight years of practice.
