Make it work." You'd think that would've put a lot of pressure on me to be "perfect," but no! Instead I found freedom! No more erasing...no more holes in the paper or smudgy areas that hinted of unsure moments. My drawings and sketches all became "scribbles." Very freeing. And with that freedom came a greater experssion and a more developed hand-eye-coordination. Yay!! All the best to you!<br /><br />BTW, Glad you did not get into an accident. No Draw and Drive! As to spring, so far, I have seen daffodils, crocus and forsythia bushes all aflame with color and bloom!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839494021570903121.post-4303697616338861962016-03-15T09:19:12.159-06:002016-03-15T09:19:12.159-06:00Tom, I have always loved your sketches and I love ...Tom, I have always loved your sketches and I love your scribbles even more. They are light, animated and gentle. By gentle, I mean not hard-edged and absolutely full-of-life. Lively. Fresh. Wonderful.

But with the car...... once I tried to put a some idea on paper while driving..... nothing happened (luckily) but I had BIG luck.... (learning moment- NEVER EVER TRY TO DRAW WHILE DRIVING) Yes spring - enjoy it! btw I like a lot your pictures of "neither man nor bird " ! :)LuTihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295367786001366976noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839494021570903121.post-77396218797029545342016-03-14T20:10:34.425-06:002016-03-14T20:10:34.425-06:00Spring is very early this year, and I'm not co...Spring is very early this year, and I'm not complaining! I think your artworks are amazing, LT--do they all come from your sketchbook scribbles? And is your warning about car-scribbling from your own experience? :)Tom Sarmohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00312089637813146270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2839494021570903121.post-45385108828549869282016-03-14T14:05:17.603-06:002016-03-14T14:05:17.603-06:00right.

I do all the time illegible scribblers ;) so I don't have to distinguish sketch vs scribble book, it is a lot easier :) But you make a good point when talking about "the lack of pressure" . Obviously , the use of ballpoint force you to "do it better" than with pencil because correction is (almost) impossible. And yes, important to do it. But do not try it while driving a car ! :) <br />btw spring is coming what is great news !!! :)LuTihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16295367786001366976noreply@blogger.com
