It’s good not to like everything you draw. Really. People who love everything they create have often missed an opportunity in their drawings. Being self-critical isn’t a character flaw, it’s an asset. The musing, “I like it, but I wonder if it could be better?” is a helpful attitude to have as you assess your work.
Let’s say you get an idea how to make a drawing more effective. Great, but then you realize that it would require changing the whole thing. What do you do? You redraw the whole thing. Every time. (But keep the original in your files.) No one has looked back at their drawing and said, “I’m glad it didn’t make it as good as it could have been.”
great tip 😀 thank you most kindly 😀
Glad you liked it.
I have always been my worst critic.
Then months or years later, I will look at a piece of my art and think, wow that’s pretty darn good. How did I do that? 😂
Absolutely! So often, when we’re in a critical mode (a necessary part of the creative process) we see only things that need to be improved. So, it’s important to get some perspective and notice the good – or very good! – parts of your drawings.
