Working our way down the tail here. Building up the cross-hatching gradually, leaving it almost bare along the central line of the tail to show where the light hits.

RIP IT UP AND START AGAIN?

We ALL experience frustration with a piece of artwork from time to time. It doesn’t matter how long one has been an artist, the dreaded ‘This-just-isn’t happening’ boogeyman rears his ugly head and there’s no getting away from him. What to do?

SUGGESTIONS

1) Leave your work, go and do something else, then return to it with fresh eyes.

2) Turn it upside down, reverse it in Photoshop—does it look right ‘mirrored’?

3) Ask somebody for an opinion (if your ego is ready to hear it).

4) Chant “OM” for an hour.

If none of the above have salvaged the artwork, there’s a very good chance you need to start again. And remember, there’s no shame in starting over... Think of all you learned from the piece you abandoned. There’s NEVER a 100% success rate and the sooner you understand this, the sooner the frustration factor lessens, making way for more great art! Don’t let a perceived failure doom future efforts.
