Portrait Of The Dead Countess

You know how sometimes, you sit and try to draw something, anything, but nothing turns out well, you get pssed off, switch off everything and leave your desk. Well.. when that happens it means that the next drawing ur going to produce will be awesome and you are going to improve, Level Up!

Always challenge yourself, and your skills, do not get and remain comfortable with your current level. Draw more, practice, hours if needs be, keep pushing ur abilities and you don't know what you might end up achieving. Appreciate your own work, but don't think you've reached your opus magnum- there's so much to learn. It is a constant struggle - PERSISTENCE is key! and once you realise you have broken another boundary in your artwork/skills you'll be one with the Gods and it'll feel great!
