This is something that's super hard for me, so this will be a push for me as well!
I was going to title this as "take a break on your art" but that could be taken in a different way.
What you want to do is after you "finish" a piece, let it sit for a day or so and then come back to it. Do you notice anything different? Do you see things you can fix?
Hell, do this at each stage of the piece if you have a feeling something is off.
Taking some time away from it and then seeing it with "fresh eyes" could really help you figure out what you missed and what you can fix.
This has happened to me a few times when I was forced to take a break (as in not have enough time to finish). The next day I end up seeing things off. If it's a simple sketch, don't worry about this, but larger pieces it could be very helpful!
I'm going to challenge myself and start doing this. So when I feel like I finished a piece, I'll not post for a day and look at it again to see if there's anything I can add or fix. In the mean time, if I'm not taking a break, I could work on something else.
May go away until DA fixes things
This site has continually made me annoyed for ~4 months now. I've gotten to the point where I don't feel the want to post here anymore unless they change/fix certain things. Activity on its own has gone way down, and I had wanted to post more and more to be more active... but the last journal post just brought me back to frustration. Other sites that have changed or even when DA made their big change before the Eclipse one) I got used to pretty quickly, but this new one they forced on us when it wasn't even complete... I can't do it. I really tried, and thought I'd get used to it, but I can't when some things are either broken or don't work the same anymore. I still can't tell if it's a bug or a feature taken away that I can't show people's icons. I think it only works in art submissions? Dunno, but it doesn't work on my page or journals. So, I'm going to leave DA (HOPEFULLY just temporarily) until they fix everything. Though if it's still horrible to use when they claim it's all
My Own Random Generator List
There are many times where I can't figure out what to draw, so I tend to put a few art ideas in a random choice generator. But now I decided to make it so all of my current art ideas can be in one place, and I can use a random number generator instead! (this is, of course, when I want to do personal art). There are certain things I added to the list that are more vague (like 'draw fanart' or 'draw a gift' or 'paint something') cuz I don't wanna list out all of those options. Also this is a never ending list! I'll keep adding more, and certain ones might "expire" (I no longer will want to draw the thing), so it can really make me think if it's something I really wanna work on! Also they can range from sketches to full on illustrations or comics! I'd be curious to know if any of these stand out for you. :3c (I will not update THIS list in the journal. I'll update it on my personal document) Also also some of these I may have other people draw, too. They help me with
I hit a rock at 65mph
So last night I was coming back from my mom's house, and as I was getting closer to my dad's house, the car in front of me moves out of the way and suddenly I see this large white rock (half the size of a tire) and I couldn't react in time while going 65mph, so it possibly popped both left tires. I was very lucky I didn't lose control of the car, but I was able to move over to the side of the road calmly enough. I felt shaken, but okay. I called my step mom and let her know, so my dad came over to me. Before he got there, a guy in a white convertible pulled over in front of me. I thought he also hit it, but he backed up to me and wanted to see if I was okay. I gave him the ok sign a few times and gave a thumbs up, so he went on his way. Then shortly after a cop stopped behind me. Asked what happened, so I let him know. He offered to call for a tow truck, but once my dad got there I let them talk about it. I'm driving my dad's car, after all. During that time, the cop got a message

I usually draw my art but I don't post it right away because I have to make sure there are no mistakes.
