I am my own worst critic.
I can be pretty hard on myself when I’m working on a
drawing. And that’s not necessarily a bad thing. Of course I can see all of the
flaws in a piece that most others may not because I know what’s in my head and
what I want it to look like. Sometimes, it just doesn’t work. Other times, I complete
it anyway and end up being unhappy with the way it turned out.
It’s not such a bad thing, either, because I make myself work
harder to try to perfect the next piece. This is good because that means I keep
going; I keep drawing; I keep working no matter what my head tells me and no
matter if my head and my hand are on speaking terms. Besides, being self-critical
is better than having another critic rip your piece to shreds with words, right?
I think if I’m harder on myself, it’ll be easier to take those harsh critics
when they do come around. That sounds like a great concept, right? I sincerely
hope I make it to that point to find out if it’s true.
