“The Practice” is a comic following the trial and error of a lacrosse player. The topic of the demise or fall was used to show the determination and intensity of the protagonist during his journey. The setting of this work had been abstracted to be series of shapes that reflect the emotion of the main character. The player repeatedly misses the net in his attempt to become a better player. Eventually the protagonist shoots the ball perfectly and accomplishes his goals.
The idea of trial and error is relatable to just about anyone who has been driven to improve in a craft. The stars do not simply align without any effort from the individual, but must be pushed with great force. I found a personal connection to the idea of practicing something over and over again or being faced with adversity and failure.
Playing the sport of lacrosse has been fundamental in my development as an adult. The values taught within the sport are imperative to being a progressive and driven individual. The world may be my oyster, but in order to take advantage of the opportunities presented in life, one must be able to fail over and over, but not lose confidence or a sense of purpose. Lacrosse, much like any sport, hobby, or trade is an incredible outlet to experience that failure that is vital to being successful. I believe that much more is learned from failure, rather than victory. This is a principle that stretches far beyond lacrosse.
The player in this work fails in his attempt to shoot the ball into the net, but does not let that failure stop him from trying his hardest. In the end, the player achieves his goals, proving that determination is the greatest key to success.
More practice with a dagger brush and I love it and see why Liz Steel loves it too. I am now waiting with her for Rosemary to make the 1/2 inch ( and maybe a 1/4 inch?) in their travel brush. I just keep learning and trying. Would be great to get to the place where I could touch once and be done as I achieved in the blue flowers. More practice, more practice.
