As I grow older I find that it's important that I save/archive/share my efforts to become an artist. Some time back, while going through my old drawings, I discovered a number of my student life drawings. Most were done on student grade paper, newsprint and the like for which time shows no pity. Many are becoming faded, and will no doubt not last more than another decade, or so. It's important that students keep their drawings, no matter how bad they may seem at the time, treating them as necessary steps in the quest to become an artist. I wish that I had kept more of my drawings. At the time I didn't consider them important and trashed most, with the best being kept for grading purposes by my instructors never finding their way back home.
