I’m rly sick so I’m posting old stuff in a drug-induced haze
I did this after learning u could zoom in at tegaki and it was the first and last time I ever tried it
Sometimes when u are rly attached to a limited medium that is giving diminishing returns the best thing to do is time yourself and rly confront the time u just wasted
For me learning to give up low-res art and work larger was the big first step toward moving beyond the plateau I was stuck on and becoming less of a perfectionist.
