The Obstacle
On the importance of bad drawings in a sketch book.
Every day I spend a few minutes in my sketchbook, unrelated to any work I might be doing. It’s like a creative workout, or play date.
The drawing I made in my sketchbook today was not very good.
But it was useful because it gave me an idea of how to make tomorrow’s sketch better.
