They don't make mistakes, they make happy accidents.
heh. partially that. but there's also:
- tricks how to cover up an accident
- recognizing an accident early so it's less to cover up
- and finally of course, can't deny skill and control
The last one is why I never liked doing pencil sketches and then inking my cartoons. I always used a marker or ballpoint pen right away purposefully because I wanted to learn the skill and control to get the lines right, the first time.
While I probably did learn skill and control that way, I also very much learned about "happy accidents", cover-ups and recognizing an accident early or before it happens :)
Mind you, this was me as a stubborn teen, drawing during boring school classes. Maybe learning techniques for adults are different.
