Main Takeaways:

• keep trying new things (new medium, new approaches, new paper)

• aim for a balance of freedom + precision

• draw everything (people, still life, film stills, exhibitions)

• if it feels out of your control you’re probably headed in the right direction

• don’t aim for output

• read about art

• don’t undercorrect when you notice something isn’t quite right

• change one thing (iteratively)

• draw every day

• movement is created by the right impression of weight

• getting proportions right really matters
