perfectionism kills the enjoyment!


Well, it does for me, but I think I am getting better on this. I have been teaching myself to play with things and have fun without focusing on the result and I got the taste of it with this illustration assignment. I didn't know where to stop, how much details should I add and how precise I should be but after I have realized that I don't even have to finish everything, I could leave some things/parts simple with a little touch or even not, I enjoyed myself and what I did, more!


This is one of my photos too. Thought using triad colour scheme (blue, red, yellow here) would do just enough job for this illustration. Now I notice that I could do some things different or even better, but I just thought I should let it go, as it is, and be happy with it! And I am...

This is my first illustration. I know it looks very simple and maybe even like cheating, but it was not that easy for me as it looked like. It is one of my photos and have chosen it to be able to focus on pen tool properly without worrying much about how to draw the shapes or anything else. And I used analogous colour scheme to get the same feeling in the original photo. I got more comfortable with colour swatches and pen tool after this. Am I kinda happy with the result? I think so...
