Let’s face it, when drawing you’re going to make a ton of failures. In fact, every drawing you make will probably have some sense of failure to it, but only because you are growing through that failure.
As a beginner, you can probably look at your drawing, and tell it is a bad, but maybe you’re not sure exactly what is wrong with it. But if you push on you’re going to get some clues, and suddenly every failure starts to feel less and less like a disaster and more like a learning experience.

In this video, Mattias shows you the secrets to unlocking your best artistic self.
