I guess I kind of do that also. I start with a shape using only a diluted watercolor of the object and a round brush. Then after it dries, I go back in with a pencil or pen and draw the object. Sometimes it is wonky (such a good, descriptive word) but it makes me happy cuz I didn't struggle and fight myself with perfectionism. And my illustration looks more artsy and free. (I credit you with the gift to be "artsy and free" )

I love the term “outrun your judging brain”!

Just a little bit faster so there’s no time for that negativity.

Wow, trying fast and slow asap. It's a great way to start, and stylistically, I love the way it looks!

Also... "Starting can lead to mistakes, but it’s also the only way to make anything." New life motto. Thank you!

Great tips Andrew! I haven't tried fast and slow yet... on my dance card now.
