If i was to pick up drawing, I'd have a stack of paper, ready to be thrown away (recycled, whatever) and watch videos on How to Hold a Pencil, how to move your wrist, how... to position the paper, good lighting, How to "see" like an artist (I look at things like a scientist - at what's hiding, not what's "on top") - tricks on transferring what you see to paper., how to use the eraser for shading, stuff like that. I know what I need - I just don't feel like taking the time to make all of the mistakes needed before getting it right. Learning is all about self-correction. "
