The small practice habit that changed my weekend after 32 tries

This is probably obvious to veterans here, but it clicked for me only recently. sketch got easier when I stopped treating every attempt like a final exam.

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

> Tiny progress is still progress.

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

That is a good question for people with more experience than me. I keep a note about critique for exactly this reason.

That sounds great until you add children/pets/deadlines.
