TRY TO FAIL!

Your pride; throw it out! 


Above I've shown you some quick little photoshop drawings.  I am legitimately embarrassed of the one in the lower left hand.  It sucks.  They guy on the bike is a bit better.  Each one challenged me to give up "a good drawing" and explore a bit more.

A couple of "rules" for this exercise:

• keep it quick (about 5 min)
• make rash decisions
• try to mess it up
• do the opposite of your intuition
• do A LOT of them (at least 5 per subject matter)
• reap the benefits of being freed from your own heavy expectations of your ability.

 This one isn't so much about how to train your hand to draw, but how train the ego to shut up and let you draw.  So say it with me..."I draw crappy things sometimes, but I won't let my shame ruin the discovery process."

LET ME SEE YOUR CRAPPY DRAWINGS!*
See what other fun things you can do to break out of the old routine! EXERCISE #1 EXERCISE #2

*(remember to send them to me me on twitter, facebook, and/or google+. I'll be posting your drawings at the end of this series with links back to your blog/site)
