Sometimes I doodle.

     I've recently embraced the fact that the more you actually draw, the better your skills become. (Shocking, I know.) It's never an area I've felt especially skilled or comfortable in, even though my printing blocks all start from a drawing. (Although for some reason calling it "doodling" seems so much less intimidating. For me, anyway.)
    
     It used to seem that drawing skills were a mysterious thing that you were either gifted with or not. The idea that practicing drawing made you better at it hadn't occurred to me when I was younger. Considering that I understood that practice was necessary both for playing an instrument and performing on stage, this was an odd oversight on my part. Having a kid who draws a lot, and seeing how they improved over time helped me realize this, along with their frustration with people who just assumed they had a "natural gift" and did not see the hours of work put into building those skills.
    
     So, here's a little mermaid doodle. Nothing finished, definitely nothing perfect, but a step along the way.
