What Happens When You Stop Trying to Draw Properly?
🎥 This one just dropped into my YouTube suggestions and I had to share it What Happens When You Stop Trying to Draw Properly? With illustrator Shoo Rayner It's just really lovely. He takes his sketchbook for a walk along the canal and talks about embracing the flaws, and how sketching isn't supposed to be perfect. It's there to help you look at what's around you and maybe jog your memory later. He draws the same swan over and over, puts a dog next to a slice of cake, and draws a coffee cup from two angles at once, and he's completely happy with all of it. He's basically giving you permission for things not to be perfect, and to just enjoy it. 🦢 Well worth 5 minutes of your time. ☕ 💬 Once you've watched it, tell me what stayed with you. Has it changed how you think about your own sketchbook?

Inspired an old man like me to perhaps, just maybe, begin to scribble and scratch a bit.

Retired, enjoy arts and crafts, though I’m not very good at it
