Riley and Avery

A mama on MDC explained Avery's art to me, in a way that a person like me can understand. She made the distinction between technical illustrating/drafting and creative aesthetic. Avery is moderately advanced in drafting, apparently, but what she really has is an understanding of the aesthetic, how to fill up a paper and use the space, how to mix colors to get the one she wants, how to make a picture look good. Aesthetic really can't be taught. Drafting/illustrating can be taught. I am a technical illustrator, so I didn't quite see the aesthetic aspect of her art.
