Focus on process rather than perfection
One of my favourite stories in Art & Fear by David Bayles and Ted Orland is that of the college professor who divided his ceramics class into two groups.
Group A were told they would be graded on the number of pots they produced at the end of the term. The more they produced the higher the grade. They were told not to worry about how good the pots were in terms of quality.
Group B were told they only had to produce one pot and that would be graded therefore, they had to try and make it as perfect as possible.
At the end of the term when they reviewed the work of the two groups, the group producing the highest quality work was Group A – the ones who were churning them out without worrying about perfection.
We can get very stuck on aiming for perfection – this moves us into a judging, critical frame of mind which is counterproductive in terms of developing the skill of drawing.
So whether you are someone who
is just starting out or have been drawing a while remember:
- the more you draw the better you will get
- let go of wanting a particular outcome – it’s the process of drawing that is important rather than the drawing itself
- Reflect on a finished drawing and notice what you might do differently next time but for every negative point you raise match it with one positive to get a balanced view of your work.
Remember you can practice looking even when you don’t have a pencil in your hand. See what is actually there rather than what you think is there.
