It’s rare that anyone’s best artistic creation is their very first - but often it’s one of their favorites, because they can see where they were when they created it, and how far they’ve come since then. Josh and his guests at My First Sketch help us understand how much work it takes to get good at something - and to keep trying when you still aren’t very good.
