It always take time for me to get warmed up, whether it's when I'm playing taiko or creating art.
I finally finished my Sketchbook today! I'm so happy. But looking through it, I can see that I started to like the drawings about halfway into it when they started to draw themselves. I admit, I did have help for those ones - Adam provided some doodles and lines as my "launchpad."
It always takes time to get used to the feel of the pens and pencils because they respond to each type of paper differently. It also takes time to let go and just draw and not think about what other people will "see" in the end. This is what the sketchbook is for! It is for failure. And getting warmed up.
"Try again. Fail again. Fail better." - Samuel Beckett
Failure isn't necessarily a bad thing. Fear of failure is worse.

Ooh, can I quote you? Fear of failure is indeed worse. Thank you for reminding me why it's important to risk. As usual your sketches, ramblings, colors, the things you see, move me.
