As beginning artist, you may believe that it’s bad to make mistakes. Alternatively, you may have been told that it’s impossible to make a mistake (cough, cough!). Let me give your creative brain a quick, adjustment: You’re not making too many mistakes. If anything, you’re probably not making enough of them.
Your rough sketches that fell a little short can actually be quite useful. They can provide you with more choices when you clean up and finish your drawing. The initial sketch is the time for experimentation. The clean-up version is where you edit and refine. Don’t get to the editing stage too soon! And remember this: the people who make the most mistakes are experienced artists.
See you next Monday!

Great info!
Gad you liked it,
It is this teaching about mistakes that lead me to follow your posts and buy some books too. So helpful.
I’m glad you find it helpful. You sound very motivated, which is innate and can’t be taught.
In other words, great outputs come after trials and errors ! Right!? 😅
Anyway, final product is always surprising and unpredictable in the initial attempts, as soon as i start making plots or just visualize mentally. But gradually something surprising appears ! Do it happen with everyone or are there masters who know very well what is about to come.
Awesome tip! Thanks so much!
My pleasure.
