I’ve recently had to come to accept that I’m a perfectionist (the bad kind). I’ve denied it forever, but when I work on a piece or an asset and it doesn’t hit right the first attempt, I just give up.
Admitting that I have to stop working like that, and spending more time planning how I work, has helped me create more finished stuff.
I’m confident in my skills as an illustrator and I always want to grow, and I think my quick and snappy workflow is a good quality, but I have to stop and smell the roses of something doesn’t look quite right, instead of losing steam and throwing the whole thing away.
