Two of Wands - Failed Attempt
Added 2017-05-30 11:51:32 +0000 UTCGuys, I fucked this one up. :/
I really wasn't feeling the drawing, but I thought colours might be able to fix it. Then, halfway through I decided to give it another try next month. I brought it to a somewhat finished stage (85%), so that I can show the process in the rewards. I still like the concept and analogy, but I'll be approaching it differently.
I'm going to write a little "article" about why I think it doesn't work and what went wrong. I think I know pretty well what my strengths and weaknesses are as an artist, but I still went too far in the wrong direction. Also, my head is in two different places, which makes it super hard to focus.
Anyways, I always learn more from my failures than my successes and so I see this as an opportunity to provide a little more insight to you and a chance to do better next time. Usually, I don't show these things to anyone, but you are with me on this journey and that means you get to see this stuff, too. :)
Thank you all so much for your support.
Without you, I wouldn't be able to draw at all during May and June.

I try not to worry about stuff like that too much. It just happens. It's only frustrating when it's published client work. ^^
