Discussion: Art skill development

[mekare]

Since we are in between challenges atm, I’d be interested in what you are all working on. Do you have a specific skill you are trying to learn? A technique or new medium? A subject matter you haven’t portrayed a lot? Is making time for your art a challenge right now?

What are your personal challenges right now or your successes?

Yeah, and it kind of takes the wind out of my sails when I'm on a roll and have to slow right down and backtrack and work on technical stuff.

Because I have perfectionist tendencies, this is the part where I can sometimes become discouraged, frustrated and generally speaking it just reduces my confidence levels as I'm creating, which is the opposite of how I like to feel with I'm doing something for fun. :b
