Learning to Draw. Plus another Caricature.

Didn't have a lot of time to draw today. Was kind of stressed out about some things. I did come up with one conclusion though. I was watching a video by Will Terrell ( great artist ) he was talking about how to get better and how to improve in drawing. He said something, along the lines of, " You can't have the teacher do the work for you, he can show you how to do it but you have to do the work to improve." I think this is really what a lot of new artist struggle with. They think that buying a ton of " How To " books or just watching Tutorial videos will make a difference.
 And I wont argue the fact that the books and videos don't help, because they do, but what really makes you improve is having the passion to draw. When I started out drawing, I rarely drew. I think I might of done three or four drawings every month. This didn't help me improve. What helped me was sketching everyday, looking at other artist's work, and being more open to critiques.
I think having the right mind set makes you improve more. Having that drive to draw. This is one reason why I quit the doing the tutorial videos on YouTube. Because I feel that you get the craving to draw more by looking at something that YOU WANT TO DRAW. And everyone misjudges that just a little. They think, " Oh, If I watch this video on how to draw the human head but don't draw I will know how to draw AMAZING tomorrow." And what really sucks is that every human is almost wired like that. " Oh, If I buy this work-out video I will be tone in the next couple of days, but all I am going to do is just watch it and not work-out." or
" I just got ' Becoming A Millionaire For Dummies'. I'M GOING TO BE RICH!" Knowledge is good to have but you gain more of that by experience. So, sketching for about a week will give you more knowledge on drawing than a book.
Anyways that's my rant for the week.
Here's a caricature I did tonight.
