Kimber, good link. It reminded me a bit of my introduction to drawing in a private art class that I started when I was around 13. It was summer and class was held for 3 hours every Wednesday. Since I had been drawing ever since I could remember, I felt like I new it all. For the first several weeks all we learned was how to hold the charcoal or pencil and draw circles, lines as fast as we could. Boy, was I confused.
Luckily for me I stuck to it. This turned out to become my foundation to this day. The circles and lines are a great excersize for eye - hand control.
The part of the link that is familiar is tthe part about wasting paper. That was the same way my father felt (who paid for over 4 years of private study).
At the day's end, we are all students struggling to improve. The four stages of life are infancy, childhood, adolescence, and obsolescence.
