I do tend to quickly fill in the unimportant parts of my drawing. It doesn't make the drawing more interesting. I'll pay more attention to it. I don't know whether art really saves lives, but do know that I'm learning a lot trying to make it :) Henk Hi Shere,
Thank you for your advice. I do tend to quickly fill in the unimportant parts of my drawing. It doesn’t make the drawing more interesting.
I’ll pay more attention to it.

I'm pleased that someone enjoys my colored pencil image of the great Leonid meteor shower of 2001. My late art teacher (David Wallin) once told me to pay attention to every mark I put on a page--great advice. Before, I had tended to scribble randomly in "unimportant" areas of a picture, just to get finished. This resulted in making the whole picture boring. David taught me to look at the individual marks in great art. Van Gogh is the greatest master of beautiful marks. A few days after watching the meteor shower, I visited the Van Gogh exhibit in Chicago. I was compelled to draw the colored pencil image shown. Well, that's my story. I hope it helps you too. Best wishes to you: art saves lives! Hi there!
