Cool that you’re going to do another figure! Looking forward to see it.

I suppose part of practicing and developing as an artist is having the courage to keep going on potentially mess up something that was good in order to make something great

I think the confidence grows with a bit with doing something a lot. Something that I did a year or two ago helped me a lot. I set out to make a new drawing each day in my sketchbook. I didn’t do it for a long time, just a few weeks, but what I saw was that indeed, some days the drawing was awful, but then sometimes the day after, it was a good drawing. Every day you have a new drawing, so the bad drawing you made two days ago, for instance, loses in importance eventually, because it’s just one drawing in a series of drawings. And there will undoubtedly be good ones in the series you’re drawing. I found that really changed my perspective a bit on how I saw my drawings.
