Exactly.Practice is the only way to suceed,because you can see what mistakes you make in your drawings and what to do (well,this might take a while)to create better things.The problem comes when you can´t see what´s wrong,so a third point of view is always welcome.

That´s the word: magical.It happens with rain as well.Even when I was in those pre uni years,we´d run to the windows as soon as we noticed it was raining heavier than usual.Our teachers´ response was always the same,"as if you hadn´t seen a storm in your life!" I bet there´s a part in our brain which yells,"wow,something weird´s falling from the sky!"every time it rains/snows.So your ramblings might be correct.

I´m all for a conversation with random exclamations in happiness and "take that,you ****!"words thrown now and then.

Hmmm...do you play the drums by any chance?
