I am a creature of habit. I tend to do things in a calculated manner. I like to have the flowers I draw in the same jar, I sit on the floor with my drawing board, I must be alone, it must be silent, and taping the paper down is a slow ritual. I can also be adventurous, imaginative, and spontaneous at times, but once I find a process I like, I repeat it until I discover another habit I like even better. Having a specific ritual allows me to focus all of my energy on line and shape.
