I've always been really self-conscious about art that I post online, and I'm a bit of a perfectionist.

But now that I think of it, if no one sees your mistakes then no one will see you improve.

I think my new rule of thumb for posting art is this: If I'm proud of it, then it's okay if I made some mistakes on the way. I've been drawing for a really long time and I guess I can say that there are artists on theO who look up to me (it's so embarrassing to write that o////o) so I think it's a good thing to show that everyone makes mistakes sometimes, and no artist is perfect.

A lot of people only post the best of their art, which, while very nice to look at, can be deceptive. For every good piece, there's a hundred ugly messed up sketches that it took to get there.
