I think everyone should draw. Everyone should get a cool sketchbook, take it with them everywhere and draw stuff. Drawing slows the mind down and helps us think clearly. We can all use time to regroup and energize our minds. Drawing does that. When we draw, we are forces to really look at whatever we’re drawing. We turn off the part of the brain that labels and talks loudly to us and we get completely engrosses in the task at hand. Quieting the mind helps bring harmony to our lives.
