I HAVE to learn to draw

I overcame a major hurdle in recent months. I recognized that, once again, the urge to draw was strong and that I HAD to learn to draw. And I also learned that I draw like an eight year old and THAT'S OK! It's major because it allows me to go ahead, jump in and draw like that eight year old so that I have the freedom to practice, practice, practice and maybe move forward to drawing like a nine year old and later a ten year old and maybe eventually catch up with myself. This afternoon I used magazine photos as prompts to help me with ideas and proportions and lines. It worked well and can be something I do frequently while I'm also learning how to draw what I see in the world.
