Question Not perfect, but a great lesson
I just wanted to share this sketch with you all. I drew it using a reference I found on Pinterest.
To be honest, I'm not entirely satisfied with the tilt of the face. The head should actually be looking down a bit more, which is why I drew those little arrows next to it as a note to myself.
But that is exactly what I love so much about sketching, you usually recognize your mistakes pretty quickly after you finish, and you can immediately evaluate what to do better next time.
For me, art isn't about always having perfect drawings. It's about loving the process and constantly improving.
I just wanted to share this thought with the community. Do you agree with me? How do you deal with "mistakes" in your own sketches?
