So after waiting a whole month, it finally arrived. I'm so happy and I can't wait to start reading :D

“The greatest barrier to success is the fear of failure.”

— Sven Goran Erikkson

I came across this quote while reading 'FORCE: drawing human anatomy' by Michael Mattesi and this resonates with me on another level. In his book he also added the three most common fears:

Fear based on perfection. “My drawing has to be perfect. If it is not, then I have failed, and thus I am a failure.”

Fear of the teacher. “I hope I am doing the right thing.”

Fear of judgment. “I don’t want others thinking I am stupid.”

Is—is this a personal attack? (ㆆ_ㆆ)

You ought not to be a scallywag, for I am waving my white flag 🏳️

(pfft- behold my subpar poetry skills ( ꈍ◡ꈍ))

Where do ideas come from? First and foremost they come from seeing the truth. They often come from a past reference or a combination of many. My point here is that without your own life experience or information, there are no ideas. You are as limited as your knowledge and experiences. Drawing is your skill to visualize into physical form those ideas and enjoy your experience doing so. To form opinions in drawing, you must have vast wells to work from.

Mike Mattesi illustrates how to create extreme depth by exaggerating size, overlap and foreshortening.
