Day 3: Practice

"Anything is achievable in five year's" Luke stated.  The more I think about it the more truth in which I find from this.  I did a small scale version of this over the summer.  Since it was the summer it was only about three months long.  Anyway, I decided that I needed to improve my drawing skill's.  I've never been much an artist and, over the previous year I have tried to reverse my thinking.  I was inspired by Jessica's daily practice and I decided if she could make that much of an improvement so could I.

I wasn't looking for some over night miracle but, I knew that over time my drawings would improve.  I spent about an hour a day drawing.  At first my drawings were ill proportioned and awkward, but then after about two weeks I saw a defined difference in my work.  Maybe it was all the bold optimism, but what helped me the most was the practice.

Practice makes everything better.  How do you get better at music, portraits, photography, etc... Practice.  Everyone expects immediate perfection, but I have learned this is not possible.  Maybe this is just humans in general, everyone wants something now and they don't want to wait.

Talent is luck, and I am thankful.  To become the best that I can be practice is key to success.
