Practice

Face practice. 10 min and little erasing <3

If you’re like me, then you’re probably one of those people that get frustrated very easily if things refuse to work xD This is exactly what I’m like. It gets immensely disheartening to erase around something around 1000 times and it still doesn’t look right xD I once heard a great saying on a YouTube video explaining different practice techniques (which are great, by the way), that went along the lines of

If you make a mistake, accept it and move on. If you’ve screwed up, so be it; it’s called practice

Of course, that doesn’t work with finished artwork, but I’ll try and keep it at that for these practice thingies xD It’s no use spending hours on a face or moving and transforming things around – move along and learn from it for the future. Spend your saved time doing something different… like coding wordpress templates or writing stories. Or do a finished illustration for a change… you’ll have a lot less to fix after a lot of quick sketches >=>
