Page 42 Revisited (Buddy Delivering Sad News)

This image is a backtrack to an image I couldn’t complete the first time through. Sometimes finishing up a picture is hardest part. Adding the finishing touches can be overwhelmingly tedious. Putting all the shadows in the right place, adding highlights, and creating the background sometimes seems like an impossible task. When I feel bogged down, I move on to the next picture. I keep moving.

What works for me is to do my best the first time through, then forgive myself for not finishing the picture. When I come back to it I’ll see it with fresh eyes and be able to finish it with more joy.
