Drawabox

I'm learning to draw! I feel like I've never been able to make anything with my hands that I've felt proud of. I should have started ten or twenty years ago. But I'm starting now. I'm using Drawabox to bootstrap my fundamentals. This page contains all of my finished homework assignments.

I think that I'll have to fill the overwhelming majority of my free time with sketching if I want to actually improve. The hardest part for me is going to be forcing myself to make terrible, ugly, amateurish drawings for years. Learning to love the process even if I hate the output.

Maybe I'll never be amazing but I can be better than I am today. And hopefully I can someday be good enough to draw something I feel proud of. I can do this.
