Learning anything can be challenging,especially when it cmes t figuring ut hw and what t practice.Repetitin is usually essential.But yu dn’t want smething that takes the jy ut f yu.I’ve been teaching myself t draw fr a few years.I had imprved a lt but fr a lng while was ging nwhere.I’d tried lts f bks and curses,and filled endless pages with bxes,parallel lines and figures.Nne f these seems t be wrking.
But smething clicked when I started sketchbking this year.The sketchbks led t a shift in mindset.Rather than trying t practise,I was engaging in a practice—scribbling (涂鴉).The scribbles weren’t all gd but they have becme part f a whle.I’ve been absrbed ever since.I scribbled my breakfast,the fruit in the ffice,and ther peple n the train.
I spke t Danny Gregry,a writer wh blgs and makes vides abut sketchbking,t try t figure ut why I had becme s taken by my new practice.
“We think the practice in drawing is like that in pian,where yu have t play thrugh a series f musical ntes step by step,” Gregry says.“But what if yu think abut practice in ther terms—like a yga practice r medical practice?With thse kinds f practices,yu’ve learned sme stuff,right?Prgress happens naturally.It’s nt preparatry.S just fllw the prcess and take pleasure in it.This is what matters.”
I have nw filled tw sketchbks just with prtraits—mre than 100 scribbled ver a cuple f mnths.In them I challenged myself t include peple n every page.Used t drawing ghst-twn versins,the first few pages were a struggle.But I started varying my mrning cffee rutine t find new places where I culd bserve life.
My latest sketchbk will tackle the challenge f all my drawings—hands.I’ve always had prblems drawing hands.It’s early days,but I’m nt fearing it as I wuld have befre because it isn’t just practice any mre.

But Furci als quickly realized that these fungi went largely ignred in Chile,where there were few guidebks and an almst ttal lack f plicies and resurces t prtect them frm ver-harvesting and ther human activities.Determined t crrect this,Furci wrte a field guide and set up the Fungi Fundatin—a nn-prfit dedicated t fungi cnservatin.In her guide,special attentin went t the rle f fungi in the ecsystem.

Because f these,explratin f fungi was expanded at a faster pace.Hwever,sme were already listed as critically endangered.In 2010,Furci tk an even bigger step—with ther envirnmental nn-prfits,she put frward a prpsal fr the gvernment t systematically assess hw large new develpments such as husing,dams,and highways affect fungi.In 2012,a law was passed and Chile became the first cuntry in the wrld t prtect fungi by law.
