Its pretty much as the title says, well except the milk part. I've discovered DA as a great way to vent, abnd well my latest issue is rather connected to it for a change.

Ever been so happy with a drawing you've done of something/someone that you like, you've became blind to its imperfections?

I did. And only recently did I notice a major flaw in it. I misplaced a distinguishing mark on said character.

It was the first picture that I was very happy with. I managed to ink it, with little problem.

And even with the crappy paint.NET that I use... I managed to colour far beyond what normally makes me happy.

Now I can't even look at it without crying my eyes out. I submitted it months ago. It -was- my all time favourite drawing that I had done. And now I can't even look at it.

I even tried to rationalise it (rather successfully) by saying it was "looking into a mirror."

The whole thing, as stupid as it is to cry over. Kept me up all night.

My father told me last night something along the lines of, "Are you a forger? Then why should such an imperfection bother you this much.. Go draw something that is from your own imagination, if you've created it, you may not come out always the way you see, but it will always be perfect in that you can never get it wrong."

He was right. But it didn't make me feel any better. I woke up this morning in the middle of the night, then came down and wrote this after laying in bed for hours.

Is it wrong to be upset about the artwork? I'm so stressed lately that I am overemotional.

But does this ever happen to anyone else?
