Here’s a new illustration in the making. It’s past the sketching stage and I’m just starting to fill in color. Some of the underlying layouts are also still visible.
I am having some challenges with the textures. But I have some beautiful, fun, cheerful picture books at hand to look at. So we’ll see where it goes. As Jordan Peterson says: “Compare yourself to who you were yesterday and not to someone else today.” Neither stay complacent nor wallow in your own incompetence. Just take the next step and be grateful for the progress you see. I feel confident right now, but when I don’t, I sometimes need a reminder of this advice. Maybe you need a reminder of it, too.
What is some progress you have seen compared to a year, a month, a week, a day, or even an hour ago? Share your thoughts in a comment or just think about it. And wherever you are, have a great day!
