Use the materials you're hoarding.
Use that cute pen, the fancy tape, one of the 40 notebooks.
Draw with those alcohol markers before they dry up.
Art materials are meant to be used, not gather dusts.
"I'm afraid to waste it." Time spent using them = experience. And experience is never wasted.
ARTISTS: quote with some random art advice!!
Something I write on the first page of every sketchbook is 'The only way to ruin a sketchbook is to not use it'. It hasn't solved my problem with this, but it HAS helped.
