I've noticed that finishing art has become really unpleasant for me over the last year or two and I think I finally put my finger on why. I LOVE the sketch stage but after that I just get so stressed out by my own nitpicking. Outlining is painful because I spend forever redoing the same brush stroke that will be literally identical to anyone else and even myself once I move on and stop fixating on it. Even my rough/expressive stuff is full of pointless do-overs that no one would have ever noticed but I had to do them until it felt 'right'. 

I cant tell you how many times I have roughed out a scene but I gave up before I get even got it going because I get so overwhelmed by making the perspective 'correct' or the anatomy look somewhat plausible. 

It kind of just clicked the other night that, holy shit I don't care LOL. As long as the viewer can tell what I'm drawing I don't care if the walls are crooked!! I don't care if the perspective makes sense!! It might be lazy but I just don't care anymore. If I'm not having fun with art what is the point of doing it!!!!!!!!

A big part of it may be my obsessive compulsive disorder. I know I'm a quick drawer but I get so bogged down with perfectionism that nothing ever gets done anymore. Its weird considering my style is so lumpy and crooked anyway so I need to stop trying to CONTROL IT so much.

SO!! Here is something I started the other night. I'm doing my best not to overthink and overwork it. If something looks weird or off I just make it look MORE WEIRD AND OFF. I have been having lots of fun with it so far!!!!!!!
