I am grateful to share my aesthetic experience. Below are a few results from my quest for knowledge via digital drawing pedagogy:
The above digital drawings, "Hope Incomplete" and "Light Forms Advance & Dark Recede," illustrate my projects from Mendelowitz's Guide To Drawing 3rd Edition
The above illustrates 10-hours of my contour, model & gesture techniques digitally drawn of a sculpture by Albert Paley: Candlestick (Memorial Art Gallery 2016)
The things you will do - over and over again - are but practice. They should represent to you only the result of an effort to study, the by-product of your mental and physical activity. Your progress is charted … in the increased knowledge with which you look at life around you.

The video above is a 3-minute animation of my 6-hours of digitally drawing a photograph by Robert Polidori: Bedroom (video ends with the inclusion of six artifacts, digitally drawn by me at the Memorial Art Gallery 2016) Song: Beautiful; Sunday in the Park with George 1984
I am interested in a political art, that is to say an art of ambiguity, contradiction, uncompleted gestures and uncertain endings, an art (and a politics) in which optimism is kept in check and nihilism at bay. —William Kentridge
