    so many hugs

    so do things about your hobby that are easier. Like watching all kinds of art youtubes, watch everything to do with your hobby. Go to an op shop and buy every book on art you can and browse them.

    I admit I’m really pleased I watched many many many hours of videos on the art, it gave me a depth of knowledge and I learnt many tips. It was definitely not a waste.

      I’ve been looking at and saving many references and art tutorials, that is a low energy way to do it and is training my eyes to notice details. But it’s making my eyes much better than my hands, so it’s easier to see flaws in my inexperienced techniques.

      That’s apparently a thing. Your work can suddenly look worse to you as your eye improves :/

        So stop looking at your old work!!

        Or, look at your work as a progression of skill. 😊

          I’m very efficient - I can hate it as I’m doing it 😂
