Sometimes it is important to remember when a drawing is just a drawing, and let it go. When color comes into the mix, there is the urge to make it a painting. However today, I decided that this is as far as I want and should go with this drawing. Keeping it loose - the lines, the forms and the features. It is based on one of my favorite maquettes, and I think that maquette deserves more exploration through other drawings before proceeding to a more long term work.
Don't wait for ideas, they come with production. If you prepare yourself too much, you might never be ready. Creation is itself a preparation. I have been producing like a madman ever since I was 16. Don't be afraid to do inferior things, the first fruits are always small & sour. You must work a lot, it clears the brain. - Chagall
