Thoughts on rushing

Mon Oct 19, 2009, 1:52 AM
I've been thinking about why my art isn't up to par. That is, my work seems to be okay, but isn't taking anyone anywhere they haven't already been, if you know what I mean. After I draw a page I'm like "this is pretty good." A few days later it's like the piece is something completely different. I'm seeing everything clearer and more importantly I'm seeing the mistakes I'm making.

I've told myself I won't go back and fix a piece, because it is what I wanted it to be at the time. If I keep going back to every piece I'll never get anything done. Sometimes, though, I really want to go back and redraw it. Time leaves me with little choice in that matter. Bottom line, I have to move on and hope I can fix those mistakes on the next piece. Some times I fix them, but I think they end up coming back down the line.

I think it has to do with rushing through a piece. I know what I want to draw and then I want to get it done. I either get board with it or I need to move on to the next piece, so I rush it. How do I not rush through a piece? I've forced myself to slow down, but that doesn't seem to help. I still feel like I want to get it over with, rather than feeling like it is something worth doing.
