I have been so discouraged lately! I keep going back and forth between methods and styles, always thinking that whatever I do isn't good enough. First I attempted this painting where I inked it, painted it and then colored the lines. At first I thought "This is terrible!" but looking at it now I think it doesn't look half bad. It needs more attention on the painting but as for the overall piece I think it looks well done.
In an attempt to redeem myself I tried doing a value study, where you just use one color (gray in this case) to paint the whole piece and then go back and add color later. This method certainly was faster and more simple than anything I've tried, but I'm worried about losing motivation or going in circles again.
To overcome these thoughts of doubt I've had to imagine they were coming from every person who's ever told me I won't make it in art and tell them to shut up and watch me succeed. One way or another I will make this book and it will be amazing!
