It's true that one can be good at both. But one cannot be superb at more than one. There is always a point at which the decision must be made if improvement is to continue. In those days I would switch from one to the other whenever the one became too difficult. And progress slowed to a crawl in both disciplines as a result, if any remained at all. So the decision was made and I don't regret it. But that doesn't mean I don't draw anymore. I'm just not serious about it now and it remains as a doodle more than an attempt to communicate. So I could, if given a ballpoint and some recycled paper go straight back to producing the intricate drawings of my youth, if I wanted to. But it's too late for it to develop into anything worthwhile now, apart from the time it would steal from writing. So drawing must remain where I left it - something I do if I've a pen in my hand, a piece of paper nearby, and nothing else to do. You can't exactly stop something like that but you can leave it where it belongs. |
