the thing i have the hardest time with is that the lack of lines and the negative space have more to do with the appearance of a rendering than the actual lines. I tend to over-draw and over shade. i used to fancy myself an artist until 12th grade when i saw this kid in my class' work. holy shit. he drew a fairy out of one continuous line that came up from a curl of smoke. hardly any pencil on the paper, but there was the fairy, clear as day. elegant, simple, clean. I can't do that.

you have to see it before you can draw it. really see it.
