Today, draw something. Draw anything. As long as you draw, it does not matter what it is. And, don’t give me that crap about, “I can’t draw! I’m not artistic. I suck at this.”
Whatever.
The only way you will suck is if you do not try.
Drawing can be very liberating. We draw our thoughts and dreams. We think out our problems with drawings and we illustrate our points when we are making them. Drawing is a way of documenting what is going on around you. Sometimes, words are not enough and you need a picture to drive your thought home. So, draw…doodle…scribble. Just make art.
Some of the most famous sketchbooks are those of Leonardo Di Vinci. His books were filled with all kinds of sketches and diagrams and notes. I am fascinated by the sketchbooks of artists and creatives. Especially when they have notes and he can get a better idea of what they were thinking.

Sugar - I bought my daughter a cheap little sketch book recently. I almost bought two, but then I thought, you don’t draw, Sugar… That is pretty self-defeating, isn’t it? So today, I’m heading back over to the store and I am getting that cheap little sketch book and I am drawing something! I’ll post later.
Thanks for the nudge, by the way.
