Two Hundred
'Two Hundred' | Daily Drawing #200
Today's posting is my 200th 'Daily Drawing' post. It's been an interesting experiment. Looking back I can see the progression in my work. It hasn't been easy, not all of it has been good, and I've certainly 'learned by doing' along the way.
It's hard to put something out there practically every day, especially when you've got other things competing for your time. But it's important to keep putting it out there, even when you don't think it's good enough. Because once you start getting better, your 'good enough' just isn't enough, and you raise the bar.
The reality is you'll never be as good as you want to be. There's always going to be that next guy who you think is better. The most you can do is keep producing, keep honing your skills, keep practicing your craft. Put in the hours.
And one day you'll realize there's someone out there who wants to be as good as you.
