Description

Everyone loves images - both photographs and nice drawings. 80% of people claim, that an image can explain an abstract thing much better than words. Books on complex topics that are supported with visual explanations are digested in a more comprehensive way.

Have you ever thought about why children are not embarrassed with their drawings? They simply are lacking knowledge about the things that surround them and what they draw pretty much correlates with their life experience. Use this fact to find a good balance between your expectations towards what you draw and the purpose of your drawing, or better say, doodle (sketch).
