My task was to draw imperfect drawings- seems easy enough, but I had no idea how to begin to imagine deliberately drawing an imperfect picture. I struggled really badly with this task and as a result ended up giving up for a few days. I became really angry with myself because I couldn't make one tiny mistake. In the end I thought I had mastered imperfection but I had in fact continued with perfection. So my task is continuing and this time I basically have to draw something that is impossible for me to be perfect at. My progress so far is 0, I have been avoiding it! I have 10 days left until I have to hand it in, so we shall see how that goes!

I am in the same boat. I couldn't imagine drawing something that wasn't perfect! I'm so glad you are continuing to try to do this for yourself. I think it can be such a great tool to get over the urge for order and perfection.
Today I'm going to the craft store to get tools to being my art journal. I need mess, chaos and hopefully I'll be able to do this project without a breakdown 😏
