Draw Constantly

I got to Life Drawing class early. I like to arrive early to set up the room and welcome the arrivees. I looked around the room and noticed that the portrait painting of Jorgen hanging on the wall was ajar. I thought, this is NOT right, and went over to straighten it out. As I was adjusting it, I sensed and could FEEL that there was some kind of black hole behind the picture, going back into an infinite dark space.
I peered in. I couldn't see into the dark but I could hear some singing. From a Bob Dylan song, the phrase 'How Do You Feel?' It sounded like Jorgen who I have heard singing 'How Do You Feel?'
I said, "Jorgen, It's Thursday. Are you coming in?"
He replied, "No, Bob, I'm going to hang out on my cloud here."
I asked, "What shall I tell them?"
"Tell them to DRAW CONSTANTLY."

The moment passed into the vanishing 'black hole' portal and I considered what it meant to Draw Constantly. Does this mean, constant pressure and precision, never letting up? Does this mean, constant using up of every minute of breath to look, to perceive, to transcribe onto surface?

I didn't know and Jorgen was gone to answer me. I ran home, to my computer, and went straight to Google, my wizard of Oz. I googled, in double quotes, "importance of drawing constantly".
One point four nanoseconds later I was entering these 6 points into my notebook. I was following orders, to tell you about the importance of drawing constantly.

The fundamental point is that no matter what method of visual art YOU Create, you have to be able to draw at some point. These are the reasons why:

+Drawing helps you visualize your outcomes and solve problems in advance.
Michelangelo used a sketchbook better than anyone and even made wax models before finally starting to chip the marble for his statues.

+Drawing keeps you visually articulate.
It is a language and a skill and we need to keep expanding our vocabulary.

+Drawing keeps you visually aware.
As Artists, we notice and see things that others do not.
That shade of blue at dusk, the thin slice of moon, the light coming through the plant or bouncing off the water.

+Drawing keeps you in top form.
Like an athlete, the artist needs to stretch and exercise art muscles. Miss and you are 'rusty'.

+Drawing lets you capture ideas before they disappear. The fertile imaginative mind of Pablo Picasso made 700 drawings in preparation for his painting Demoiselles d'Avingnon. "Carry a sketchpad or voice recorder with you and use it.

+Drawing documents how your idea progresses and the development of the process. It shows us how our minds work.

Scary???
Jorgen DID say, "scare yourself".

Draw.
Constantly.
