While sketching at the zoo one morning, a small boy asked me for a pencil and a piece of paper. He proceeded to transform the bison near us into an alien monster, complete with attack bees, laser beams, and sound effects.
Comparing his sketch to mine, I realised how I was limiting myself by trying to render the bison literally. Seeing the boy’s creativity made me want to cut loose a little. And I realised that nothing was preventing me from using my imagination when I’m drawing brand new sketches on the spot.
