How's your Myelin? by Robert Genn

When I first read this, I thought, what the heck is Myelin and how do you pronounce that? Myelin is something that insulates the "wiring" in our nerve fibers. The more you have, the better.

More Myelin makes us better artists, if I read this right. Practice makes perfect, like Jessamina says in our bellydancing class, the more moves you do repetitively, the more muscle memory you will have and easier performing the moves will be....

Practice makes perfect....so pull out those sketchbooks and practice practice practice....
