The Number One Lesson I learned From Doing 10,000 Bad Drawings

 October 21, 2025

   I am often asked what is the most valuable lesson I learned from my quixotic quest to do 10,000 bad drawings, and the answer is it made me a more loosey goosey drawer. Not perfect, mind you, just looser, which I would translate as better. Here's my drawing skills on display before the quest:

Monthly Whip Out:

"Overwrought And Over Drawn"

And, here is my new skill on display this morning.

Daily Whip Out: "Mystical Mamacita"

   Don't believe me? Here's another old rendering from my long ago past:

Monthly Whip Out:

"D-R Roping Hippies On Red Lake"

   And, here's another loosey goosey from this morning:

Daily Whip Out:

"Doc Goes Home to Prescott"

   Speak of the devil, I just did a podcast with Stuart Rosebrook on the current BtK art show at Scottsdale Museum of the West and the upcoming art show in Prescott in a couple weeks.


Bringing Doc Home to Prescott


   At the end of the day, I have to admit it's all been fun and I simply enjoy the process. So, right or wrong, I keep on drawing just for the fun of it. One more for the road. Oops. Actually five more for the road!
