I can’t stop laughing at that dog’s face. I love him! But can someone please get him a monocle ASAP? And honestly, I kinda love the sketched out version because it looks like he has ginormous bushy eyebrows like Groucho Marx lol He's so Gatsby with that tux.
Flipping something upside down or playing with your perception in general is such a good way to detach yourself from the work. Then you can remove the focus on yourself and strip it down to what it is: a puzzle to play with and piece together.
It’s a good way and opportunity to help reframe the feedback you give yourself too. Instead of, “I suck.” Or, “I’ll never get this right,” which even if you switched to, “I did a good job on the eyes” still focuses too much on the person, you can assess based on what you're seeing and not what you think of yourself, or what you think it says about yourself.
What I love about The Drawing Board is how it emphasizes the process part of The Process™️. Because the fact that everything IS a process gets easily forgotten [we all forget at some point]. And if you can’t accept that then you’ll never get past the ugly first draft. And in most cases, you’ll never start one.
Love seeing the progress. *scrolls back and forth between both versions* It's wild how much of a difference adjusting those proportions made!
And dearest TDB, happy 20th<3 One day, I'll curate you.

What a neat trick to flip the canvas & reference picture upside down. I'll give that a go the next time I can't get past the ugly stage!
Omg it’s so cute I love it!
