when i was in third grade, megan and i created a bond based on our respective strengths in art and what we liked to spend our free time doing -- drawing and coloring in girls/princesses wearing cool clothes.
i drew the outlines of girls and the outfits, and megan decided on color scheme and texture, created mostly by the pressure with which she used the crayon, and filled them in. our creations were pretty amazing and impressive.
and i'm pretty sure that i still draw exactly like i did in third grade, which is not so amazing. definitely not impressive, unless you're my kinder students.
i have a little brown thin moleskine, so as not to intimidate me by being fancy and thick, that i carry around to put drawings in. it's not blank because i've convinced myself to follow ashley's advice and just draw as much as i can since it's hundreds or thousands of drawings until you get 'good.' and i've told myself not to get intimidated and just draw the crappy amateurish things i draw.
it's hard though, when i just want to draw the way it looks in my head, which is no longer a third grader's.
