Practice - Practice - Practice

I actually have two sketch books - one only for pencil work so I can practice drawing things and one mixed media for those “things” I need practice with color. For me, the courses are becoming more challenging and I’m feeling frustrated at falling behind. Maybe an additional week to complete the course would have been helpful but then others might get bored if things don’t move faster.
