Learning the hard lessons.Lesson 1: Practice is the ONLY way I'm going to improve. I can stare at other work and want as badly as I can to be that good but it won't help. I CAN be that good, but practice is the only way to get there.
Lesson 2: There is a very big difference between wanting to learn and improve my work and being completely obsessed with perfection. I will always strive to better my work but it should never get in the way of enjoying doing art. (My obsession with perfection was dragging me down so much that I practically gave up on my art for two years)
Lesson 3: It's ok not to be perfect. It's ok if it's not totally realistic. It's ok if I still have a lot to learn.
Lesson 4: Rome wasn't built in a day. I can take as long as I want to finish a piece. I don't have to complete everything the same day that I start it.
So ya, I'm in a MUCH better place now with my art than I was before. I'm learning to relax and take my time and just plain have fun with art again.

Sword of steel
Held up high
Lightning strikes
From blackened skies
Fallen heroes
In Battle slain
Awaits my arrival
At the gates of
Valhalla
Shields of gold

I believe thrones are generally more decorative. That is decidedly plain, and chair-like.

Why? Why do humans always look to the sky? Why do you try so hard to fly when you don't have any wings? We'll run on our own legs. - Kiba
