Back in my high school art class I would always make mistakes and while drawing, (rushing through my work, not pay attention to what I was doing, get sloppy with my work or just not caring) so I always had an eraser to get rid of the things I messed up on. My art teacher would see all the eraser marks on my drawing and tell me not to erase so much. She told me to take my time with my work to get what I wanted and if I made a mistake to work with it make it part of the drawing, to use some artistic license. So she took my eraser away. Without my eraser I would make the same mistakes and instead of TRYING to fix it I would start over or just give up and quit. This lesson is an important one not just for artist, but in life. Mistakes made in life need to be worked through there are not any life size erasers.:stupidme: I still haven't learned my lesson or how to work without an eraser. For every fuck up and problem I put my self in I just push it away and hope I won't have to deal with it.
