Alot of the time I agonize over my images and drawings. Never satisfied, I put alot of pressure on myself and I think this often strangles the vitality out of anything I do. An idea that begins to germinate is often ruined by these expectations. I start a drawing and often try to "fix" things I know arent right. This mostly leads to a busy strangled mess. Trusting the line, not knowing exactly where it will lead (maybe nowhere?) or what it will produce is something I have been attempting the last couple of days, by drawing with pen, straight from life. Which I do from time but not nearly enough. Its a good discipline. Learning to trust your line is important, I feel, if drawing is to become more fluid.
