From a conversation with my mentor

I’m one of those lucky people who have a mentor or two – human ones, not the anteater, I mean.
But really…
[Soo: Do you think I’ll ever achieve anything in my life?
Anteater: Hmm. Why don’t you? Why doesn’t everybody?]
I came across this drawing from a late-2015 sketchbook called Cabbage Lady. (Yes, I name each sketchbook.)
I don’t recall the context, but in those days I was taking a lot of Uber rides to work.
Some people are happy with their small wins.
The sooner you realize the extent of your life the happier you’ll be.
A few months ago I was struggling to change my default drawing style. Since I started drawing with a Lamy my drawing has plateaued.
I guess this must be what he’s looking at
But anyway instead I read Elmer.
And I’m still on the plateau.
