I agree – artists should never be discouraged; nay! they should be encouraged. Their eyes see more then the non-artist. We feel the texture with our pencils, or brushes. We reveal to the world what our eyes have laid site upon. As an artist for over 30 years, I teach other subjects such as electronics, math, history, martial arts and the basis for all the classes that I teach evolve around and totally circulate around ART.

Great post – good to see that most fundamental of things that is drawing being encouraged. I think whatever your discipline is, it will be informed by continually returning to drawing. I carry a sketchbook everywhere and when I’m asked what advice I’d give to any visual artist, it’s to do just that. Also loving your Painting-a-day posts.
