Drawing

Not being a good drawer is holding me back.  I draw slowly and my lines are ugly.  I am thinking about this because Zen Garden needs good art and I don’t think I’m equipped to really even see it right in my head.  How should it look?  My goal is to make it feel very 8-bit, but still look beautiful.  Perhaps I need to play Super Mario Bros 3 for a while for inspiration.  But, in the meantime, I’m practicing drawing.  Usually I try to draw Jacque, but she doesn’t sit still.  I also want to get good at drawing plants and rocks (things for the garden).  I think this practice will translate into improving my software projects.
