On Monday (not so eloquently) I attempted to float a few ideas about Plato's notions of idealized form. These ideas have left us with a parallel world we carry around and unconsciously measure ourselves against.
Here is a link to more information about the philosophic basis for how we think about our world...
Platonic Realism
However, for the purposes of drawing (and perhaps many other things in life) such ideas get in our way. How fun might it be to consider that all the things that are less than perfect in our world are what make it interesting and fun to be here.
Try courting those imperfections and "mistakes" in your drawing...see where they might take you.
And enjoy this Big Think segment from Malcolm Gladwell about the messy, chaotic nature of a creative life...
