What does it mean to be "Self Directed"?
To be self directed is to be "under ones control" Which means to be in control of yourself. To "Direct yourself" in a way that you want to. Self Directing is all on you and Art is the same way. You have to really be into it to get better. You cant just draw something one day and then give up. you have to keep at it and with time you'll get better. :)
