Sketching should always be about having fun first. I recently set up a site at www.howto-draw.com and I think it's important not to get bogged down by work. Cheers - Sean Nice post.

I don't know when I'll have the chance to draw my favorite subject again from life but, when I do I plan on using a lot of old school & new school tech. Most importantly, I plan on have a way too much fun. :) Thomas, you're art is gorgeous. :) Dani, thank you very much for helping me put the fun back into what had become a chore.

I think perfection is in the way a lot of time when I am sketching, trying to be someone I am not.. Let's seek the simple and the funny stuff, I am sure that will help. Would love to see a couple of big scans of your sketchbook - does indeed look great :) Regards Thomas www.tinypilot.com Thanks for the post Dany… almost felt it was a direct answer to my request some time ago.

I do the experimental and doodling often enough but have neglected the study. Now I know why I can't always make the images on my paper look like I want them to. Like the way you put this across.

Years ago, I would draw quite a bit and loved it. I got to a point where I got very detailed and it had to be "perfect." That took the fun out of drawing. I also started comparing my work to others... my ego got in the way. It became a chore, no fun. I'm going to try again and keep it simple. I'll try a variety of style and subjects. Thanks for your help, Joel Thanks for your insight.
