My favorite low-effort upgrade for critique for absolute beginners

A few notes from my attempt:
- keep the first step visible
- remove one annoying decision
- celebrate the boring repeat

I started this because my late summer felt a little stuck, and sketch seemed like a manageable place to experiment. The funny part is that the smallest change was the one I kept.

> Tiny progress is still progress.

That line sounds cheesy, but it got me through the part where critique stopped feeling new.

This has cozy competence written all over it.

I appreciate the honest middle stage, not just the polished ending. I would write it down before changing anything else.

@pandaPixel9 Small caveat: context changes the answer a lot.

That is a good boundary.

Love the tiny experiment energy. The social part surprised me too. Process photos would be fun to see.

That is the part people skip.
