"If we taught children to speak, they'd never learn" - William Hull
Thirty or forty years ago, I read this quote. It stuck with me because i believe we often learn best through imitation. In many of my books I have advised that mimicry is prerequisite to creativity. It's wonderfully effective to imitate, copy, or trace what others have done in order to develop one's own tools for drawing before attempting to produce something original.
