-You don\u2019t get better at drawing by avoiding drawing until you are better at drawing.<\/p>\n

– You don\u2019t have to make a new masterpiece every day it\u2019s okay if all you drew is a doodle of a bug. You are now +1 bug doodle better at doodling bugs.\u00a0<\/p>\n

– Also it\u2019s okay if the thing you drew didn\u2019t turn out very good. Everything you draw makes you one step closer to being able to draw good. You are still +1 step better at drawing whatever you drew no take backsies.<\/p>\n

– You are the only person who knows if your art didn\u2019t turn out as good as you wanted it to. You are the only person who can see the things in your art that weren\u2019t what you imagined in your head. No one else will know unless you tell them.<\/p>\n
