But I'm going to learn.

Inspired by the past few stream commissions I've watched, I went out and bought a small WACOM tablet and looked up a "Learn How to Sketch" website with simple basics. First thing I learned - I can't draw circles. I also can't draw straight lines. I also have a hard time lining up the cursor where it was when I finished the last line in order to extend it. As a result, my very first attempt was rather... well... bad. But, as the saying goes, you have to SUCK at something in order to learn how to get better. So, that's what I am going to do.

I am NOT going to bombard this page with my awful attempts, at least until I do something that reasonably approaches some sort of skill, but the way I look at it, if I practice regularly (like I've written semi-regularly for most of my life), I will eventually become capable enough to be willing to share my dribs and drabs. Several years from now, with effort, I might actually be relatively good at things - enough to share, but for now? I don't think it's worth scarring anyone's eyes.

The truly talented make it look easy. I learned this while watching commission artists put amazing pieces together in a matter of hours from literally a blank page and a reference image. To get there takes time and effort.

I am taking my very FIRST step on a very long road...
