First, let go of fear of failure.
Failure in this path is only true if you don’t try.
And you’re going to hate what you did eventually if you’re
doing it right.
Now, decide what you are immortalizing.
It could be an important person, a meaningful idea
Or a drawing of a cat on a unicycle following his dreams.
Any of these will do.
Next, pick up a pencil
(Or a pen, or a marker)
And just push it across the paper
There are no more steps
Except
Repeat
Repeat until the lines make shapes that satisfy you
Repeat until the shapes combine into pictures you might not
throw away
Repeat until your mom compliments you
Repeat until someone who isn’t your mom compliments you
Don’t stop because you could be better
Don’t stop because you’re not as good as Da Vinci
Or because you’re not better than you were yesterday
Keep going until years have gone by
Keep going until you’ve reached your last days
And keep looking back at the first graphite lines on the
page
And then look at the ones you just made
How do you draw?
You simply
Draw
