For a very long time, I would draw complete images from the top down, without any rough shapes as a guide. The results were predictably awful, but drawing was fun, so I persevered. At some point the light bulb went off and I understood how to build a drawing from rough shapes and lines, and that opened up a whole new world of possibilities, which has kept me entertained in the ensuing twenty years.

"Well, evolution is a theory. It is also a fact. And facts and theories are different things, not rungs in a hierarchy of increasing certainty. Facts are the world's data. Theories are structures of ideas that explain and interpret facts. Facts don't go away when scientists debate rival theories to explain them. Einstein's theory of gravitation replaced Newton's in this century, but apples didn't suspend themselves in midair, pending the outcome. And humans evolved from ape- like ancestors whether they did so by Darwin's proposed mechanism or by some other yet to be discovered."
