"I believe that what truly matters in the making of art is not what the final piece looks like or sounds like, not what it is worth or not worth but what newness gets added to the universe in the process of the piece itself becoming."

I hear you. But perfection isn't a requirement for sketching, really. Your lamp is charming! Good for you for getting on with it.
I was always that geeky kid who sat in the front of the class and considered myself a failure if I didn't set the curve. Old habits die hard. I know art isn't a competition, but that's how I approach it some days. MUST. QUIT. THAT. and just have fun with it. Sigh.
the artist's model running is so great! I have more than one of these and have never thought them to be really much help in figure drawing--just ornaments that say I am an artist. so that's why the room looks like it does.
Winna - I bought Running Man decades ago for a decorative doodad because he was unique and bright, fire engine red. I've never used him as a model.
Hummm...not a bad idea. What a concept.
I can so identify with your comment about wanting perfect drawings! I heard from someone once that there moto is "Striving for imperfection" and ever since then it has become mine. I would be happy to share it with you :-). It is pretty freeing to just have fun drawing and painting.
The drawing is very good, though!!
