I use my art activities to express, entertain, and heal myself. I accept all technical critique and criticisms and suggestions/guidance. Beyond all that, which is part of my learning to be an artist, others preferences related to my srt are not my business. I accept that beyond my art being a vehicle for spiritual connection with others and the universe, I cannot and won't please everyone. When I am happy with my efforts it's because I've expressed all the physical and intellectual abilities I have at my grasp when I worked on that exercise. I can always do better the next time I attempt the exercises because I make myself as much of a sponge as possible for observing, being teachable, and taking in any suggestions others give. Every effort I make is one step closer to a break-through in my blossoming artistic skill set. My mentors and teachers might cringe at my description that I am a flower seeking to grow in artistic technical proficiency, but that's what my journey is all about. That perspective keeps me focused, connected, enthusiastic and able to thoroughly enjoy all the parts in the mosaic of skill development that goes into becoming a proficient artist. Whatever gets the job done, eh! Lol

I do this when my arms and hands are hurting too much for me to draw or when Im taking a break. I just look at pictures, and really sear that into my brain. I watch art videos and people drawing and I put that into my visual and mental library so when I draw my mind wanders to those places and I find that my art gravitates to the styles and stuff I learned from watching art. That and resting my hands and my eyes because, you kinda need those to draw you know. So, resting is just as important as doing the work.

Achieving an all-around information rain can certainly help translate into your art. Improving art is about 95% of putting pencil to paper, speaking ONLY for myself, some of my best art has come from long periods of not drawing... I do NOT RECCOMEND taking that long (or any) period off, and any artist would benefit from daily practice, it's just for ME so long as I study the topic and theme I need to draw, it always seem to translate.

One thing I should do more that I don't, is to work on my drawings when I can't draw. How? _OBSERVE._ My ability to construct a drawing is pretty poor, because I don't really see the world as shapes in perspective. I find it hard to bring my observations of reality into my drawings. I see a blank paper as a white sheet, not a 3D space I can put objects into. This is what I am going to try to work on more. Seeing the world as if I were going to recreate it on the page.
