back to basics - paper and pencil

i do find that the worst and scariest part of drawing (apart from - of course - will anyone like it?) is making the first mark on the page. once that is done it doesn't seem to matter so much what i draw! when sketching difficult compositions or something that i know i'm not very good/rubbish at i draw that part first - purposely badly - and from then on things can only get better. like hands and feet. i abhor drawing hands and feet. it just doesn't come naturally to me at all, what i wish for the most is to be able to draw hands like the character jack can in titanic. that was the only part of that film that i liked.
so a decision.
i will practice and practice and practice until i don't even think about it anymore. when drawing girls - i won't hide their hands!!!
keep your eyes peeled for hands and feet people...they'll be everywhere this year!
