After sketching in pencil the other weekend — and toiling forever to get the angles right — I decided to ditch the graphite this time and go straight to pen and ink.
It felt liberating.
With ink, provided you don’t put down any pencil lines first, you have to just commit and draw. There’s much less belaboring of every little detail.
There’s probably a metaphor for life in there somewhere. Stop tweaking and trying to be perfect and just get it done already.
