Notes from a very normal Monday morning with Drawing with an useful constraint

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. illustration got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

The kindness in this post is lovely. I would love to see a follow-up after 7 weeks.

Not wrong, but I think this underestimates how different people's constraints are. The 4-minute rule is underrated.

Helpful and not preachy, which is rare. The delightful constraint is probably the real story.
