But sometimes you catch an idea or a thread and once you start pulling, something much bigger than you imagine starts to unravel.
That's quite true. Sometimes, while I'm drawing a particular subject/,character, I get a little idea on eat to pen down, as I was about to finish penning down that little idea, more and more pop up. At that moment, I don't need any distraction from any angle or else I would lose the idea.
just go with the flow and see what comes! Sometimes it’s completely different from what you were expecting but I think this is what is fun about art, it’s like a collaboration with everything that flows. I feel like I’m reading something for the first time as I write it
