It comes from the inside

Keri Smith had another post that touched me. Especially the quote:

"Good drawings come from the inside, reflecting the artist's state of mind or sense of being. It has nothing to do with technical ability or amount of detail. A simple line can evoke emotion. "

It's applicable across the artforms I think. Acting. Dancing. Writing. Music. When it comes from the inside, it touches your soul. Regardless of your formal training, the quality of equipment, lighting, environment.

Especially important are the words "come from." Not "forced from." Not "dragged out of you kicking and screaming." It comes. Naturally.

Thanks again Keri!
