This year I really want to learn to draw. Even if it's badly. Sometimes I feel like I've been longing to draw for so many years, just longing to make marks on paper. I feel at last that I can draw badly without being mean to myself about it, without judging myself harshly for not being great at something. In the last year I seem to have finally learnt that making mistakes, not doing something perfectly the first time, is actually a great way to learn important things. It makes me think of dear Heath Ledger who said, "I push myself to fail. It's only through failure that you learn to succeed." The first thing I want to draw is a bird amongst twigs. I know, you're shocked.
