Well, yeah, but not "sardonically", which suggests to me an element of scorn.
It's more in the mood of someone who does not own a drawing-board say, "Well,
it's back to the drawing board." Or like the football team on the sidelines
before the opening kickoff when they join hands, say a little prayer, and then
shout, "Let's go!" I can imagination a guy WITH a drawing board, sitting down
down at it, clapping his hands once, and saying, "Okay! Let's make some art!"
It's harmlessly ritualistic, combining elements of exhortation and arch
self-ridicule. Listen -- anything that get's it up.
