Drawing is much more than GOOD OR BAD. IT IS A language FROM another part of you … Cartooning isn’t just a way of drawing, it is a way of seeing.*
Lynda Barry

Copying is how I learn, it’s a way to understand what’s really going on, and drawing is a way of slowing down long enough to really look at something.**
Austin Kleon.

Slow down,
Look and see,
Understand,
Find more of yourself.

Don’t let yourself
or anyone else, tell you that
you are no good at drawing;
All drawing is copying, whether
it is something in
front of you or in
your imagination, and if
in copying it becomes something else, well,
That’s part of the purpose and the fun –
That’s where the your originality begins.

Slow down,
Look and see,
Understand,
Find more of yourself.
