It’s really difficult to show another human your idea without putting something on the page. In this way, every drawing is a raffle ticket. The more ideas one puts on the page, the greater the chance becomes of connecting with someone – someone who gets it; that may be a loved one, or someone you’ve never met, or a publisher who has the power and budget to take your idea and show it to the world at scale.
Am I a software designer who practices art ‘on the side’ or is it the other way around?

Should artists aspire for robotic-like accurate and consistency like those who are the best in their sport?
