Salt-n-Pepa Were Right - Just Push It

I talked about impatience last week.

I'm going to talk about impatience this week, too.

When you're working on a drawing, there comes a moment when the inner self says, "That's good enough. Just move on." And you know that voice is wrong.

You can listen to the voice, or you can soldier on.

You know that you should redraw that hand. The folds of the pants need to be a little more defined. That shading is sloppy...

For years I've listened to that inner voice of impatience when it told me to move on when it was too soon.

Don't listen to that voice. Listen to Salt-N-Pepa and Push It.

When you want to stop but you know it's not time...Push It.

When you know you need to redraw something but don't feel like it...Push It.

When the drawing doesn't feel right and you're tempted to settle for "okay"...Push It.

For now just push a little bit. One extra detail...5 more minutes shading...

You just might be amazed with the results.
