I'm always searching through books or internet articles for insight on improving my drawing skills. I've tried hard to find that "magic pill", the "quick fix" and the best advice I've found to date is ... "Go draw something. Repeat."
Sometimes drawing can feel so effortless and then there are times when I erase more lines than I draw. I know that I'm not alone judging by the groans I hear around me. Drawing never gets old, I'm never too tired for it, I never, ever don't want to draw - no matter the outcome - I learn something about myself or drawing every week.
"A good drawing says: "not so fast, buster". We have had a gutfull of fast art and fast food. What we need more of is slow art: art that holds time as a vase holds water: art that grows out of modes of perception and whose skill and doggedness make you think and feel; art that isn't merely sensational, that doesn't get its message across in 10 seconds, that isn't falsely iconic, that hooks onto something deep-running in our natures. In a word, art is the very opposite of mass media. For no spiritually authentic art can beat mass media at their own game. But drawing never dies, it holds on by the skin of its teeth, because the hunger it satisfies - the desire for an active, investigative, manually vivid relation with the things we see and yearn to know about - is apparently immortal.
