So I've been drawing and painting, but it's all coming to nothing. Proportions, scaling, details. I'll be happy with something, and then hate it completely in the next minute. Hours of meticulous painting will then be wiped away in an instant, and I'm forced to start again.
I've drawn two conclusions from the experience. Either I a) need to learn to draw better, or b) need to develop a new drawing style. Realism clearly isn't my cup of tea.
There is also option c) stick to what I know, which is pencil sketches.
