#190 - Learning To Draw, Kids Have An Unfair Advantage

Many professional artists working in comics started drawing when they were young. They might copy a Spiderman drawing from a comic, or they may have drawn comic pages themselves. And it probably wasn’t good yet. But they didn’t see that, didn’t notice it, and thoroughly enjoyed the process.

As adults, we see all the mistakes in our work. And it demotivates us.

Tom Fox mentions it in one of his online courses, too: don’t fret about mistakes in drawings. They are just drawings. You’ll make another one. As I wrote, you should go for quantity over quality , and quality will follow.

Children have it easier. But we can be like that, too! See my article on the one bad habit we have to unlearn.

Have fun in your sketchbook, and don’t fret about the mistakes.
