Quite often I find myself browsing through a lot of art blogs. I like to see what other artists do, and how they do it. It is one of the places that I draw (no pun intended) inspiration from (okay pun totally intended).

Every once in a while I read a bit about what the artist has to say. Today I found a rather interesting post about going to college for art.

Give it a read. I found myself completely agreeing with most of what was said. He has an example in there of something he drew before, and after college. I think I'm going to do the same thing right here. In this case I was fresh out of college, and I thought that these were so awesome. I look at them nearly 4 years later, and I can't stand 'em. In any case, I think it will illustrate (I'm so punny!) how we can all improve when we're nudged in the right direction.
