The problem in art, after you solve all the other problems, is what to do. The old saw about “being dressed up with nowhere to go” is true, and it’s the bane of art. People talk about the technical things, but thank your lucky stars for all the technical stuff — for when the technical stuff is all used up then you have to decide quite simply “what to do.” At that moment, perhaps it’s a good time to turn to the drawing challenges that people have graciously suggested.
I add one of my own: draw your hair. It’s a good “tempus fugit” subject. Said differently, draw your hair while you still can — while you still have hair, while you can still hold a mirror, while you still have a sense of humor ….
And if I’m too late with my advice, and you don’t have any hair, get a doll with big hair …
Use what you’ve got and when you’ve still got it – very good advice Aletha. I could write a poem about my hair (which drives me nuts, by the way) 🙂
Do write a poem about hair. Wouldn’t that be interesting!
