These drawings are from the sketchbooks of someone who thought she couldn't draw.
For most of my life, I believed I couldn't draw. I had made a couple of drawings that showed promise and that should have told me a different story, but I tossed the idea aside as a fluke. My belief was stronger than the evidence. When I look back on some of my old sketchbooks, I remember those years of believing I couldn't draw and shake my head. You really don't know something until you've tried. Happily one fine day, I decided to try, for no particular reason. It was at a time when I was learning to follow my intuition without endless questioning or second-guessing.
Belief: it's such a powerful thing, both for positive and negative. The wonderful thing is that we have a choice in our beliefs.
I so appreciate reading this because I am experimenting with drawing and am trying not to be too judgemental. Thanks for this post.
