The honesty in that caption hits hard. I've got sketchbooks full of pages I'll never show anyone, construction lines that went nowhere, proportions I had to redraw three times. But those messy ones are where the learning actually happens. What were you working on here?

The best portfolio pieces I ever made started as total wrecks in the first pass. Ownership of the mess is half the work.
I find that when I’m doing any painting, there’s always one element that helps to pull the whole piece together for me. In a pet portrait it’s usually the eyes. I’ve started to paint those first to encourage me to keep on going. In an abstract I need to get some color combination the drew me to the idea in the first place.
