Let me try again: when I draw, it takes me a while to find the shapes I want, and I use my eraser nearly as often as my pencil. Seeing someone whose art I really admire also go through the same intermediate steps along the way to making something beautiful helps me feel better about doing it.

So I guess I wanted to say thank you for helping me convince myself that there's nothing wrong with needing to go through a creative process in order to find the result you want. I think you're art is amazing, and it was neat to both see how it's made and grow my own understanding in the process. :)
