Welcome to: "Let's get messy". What is let's get messy?

Why am I adding this random video into the introduction section?

And "Let's get messy" is really an encouragement to you to be messy, to be untidy, to be loose, to be rough

when you're drawing.

Right.

I've done this course in a way where I don't want you to feel like "W!ow I could never achieve the drawings

that I'm seeing in these videos".

No! I haven't done the course in a way where you've got these refined perfectly drawn examples, perfectly

drawn exercises, perfectly drawn things, that you feel like "Wow, I can't achieve this level of perfection" right.

No.

I've done the course in a way that is loose, that is messy, that is rough. Yet, the elements of the theory

are correct.

The elements in the theory are strong, and I'll show you how to move from rough and messy, to refined

and neat and beautiful and tidied up and clean and professional work.

Right.

But I want encourage you, as you're starting the course, start letting go of trying to make perfect drawings

right.

Start Letting go of it.

Be rough.

When you're doing exercises- be rough. When you're trying to work things out-

be Rough, be loose. Let yourself be wild and free and fast.

OK let's get messy.

Let's get really messy.

Think about this:

a construction site is filthy, yet it's building houses, it's building buildings, it's messy.

I mean it's not filthy as in dirt, it's just filthy as it's messy, it's chaos.

There is construction equipment everywhere, workers everywhere.

You know, things aren't painted, finishings aren't put in.

You've got to think like that.

Same thing with the kitchen.

You know, a good baker, a good cook-

they do not operate in these pristine kitchens like you see on TV shows.

They're messy and they're throwing flavors around and food around and they're getting messy and they're

getting into and they're getting their hands dirty.

And when you're building something great, you've got to get your hands dirty.

And then you can use the refinement stage to make those things neat and clear and nice and beautiful

and professional. Because really, professional look and professional feeling, comes from solid construction

and construction is messy.

So let me encourage you, Let's get messy, Let's get rough, Let's get to the core truths of art.

And then once you've got the stuff down, the solid foundations down, then we can focus on neatening it up,

tidying it up, painting those buildings, icing those cakes for a metaphor.

All right let's get messy.

Let's move on.
