Yesterday’s wonder journal sketch of an agapostemon bee. This was a good casual exercise at the end of the day. I don’t worry about getting all the details right. Instead, I try to get a little more right than I did in my last sketch. The improvement comes through repetition, continued practice, and not feeling shame at imperfection. I embrace the imperfection because it’s far better than every sketch that I don’t even begin.
