I'd estimate that only about ten percent of every page I put graphite on turn out any good at all. Of that, probably only half a percent will get anything done to them beyond a bit of eraser clean-up around the edges and bolded lines. So for every drawing put up here in the scraps, there are about nine wasted pages stuffed in a dilapidated sketch pad somewhere, full of people with messed up hands, feet, eyes and a slew of contorting dragon outlines.

I wonder how many trees I've killed with this hobby...
