My favorite quote: “The best time to start was yesterday. The second best time is today.”

[artsywitchling]

my professor: don’t fall in love with the drawing. Fall in love with drawing.

This is so freaking important.

This is literally why we all draw as kids.

Because it makes us happy and we love it. And when we grow up and art becomes this tool to show what we imagine, so other people can see what we imagined, we more and more focus on the end product rather than the process that used to be so much fun.

We see mistakes, we try to get rid of them, we criticize our works until all that is left is stress and bitterness.

This is not why we drew in the first place.

Drawing used to be fun.

And I think it’s nice that she reminded me of it. Because I forgot.

[artsnquotes]

“One never finishes learning about art. There are always new things to discover. Great works of art seem to look different every time one stands before them. They seem to be as inexhaustible and unpredictable as real human beings.”
