Into the book
Just get started.
And then finish it.
Whether I like the work or not, “finishing a book” is a tremendous experience.
It will become the 'seed' of my future creative life.

--- p.1

Let's not obsess over our own drawing skills. Our goal is to complete one book.
If coloring is difficult, just a pencil sketch will suffice.
What we need now is not perfect and cool drawing skills, but the will to see it through to the end.
Don't be disappointed with the results.
No one is good at something from the beginning.
The goal of this book is to help you harvest the first seeds of your own picture book.
A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.
Don't worry about the immediate results and just take it one step at a time.
Let me emphasize this again.
The thing we must be most wary of is perfectionism.
If there is no beginning, there is no end.
If you stop, it will never end.
Just get started.
And then continue.
Until the end-.
