How do I stop falling in love with my work?

I'm improving as fast as I can but I tend to stick to one well-drawn thing and polish it (which is always a turd) rather than aiming for quantity.

I just tell myself everything I do once I can do again, but probably better.

On the flip side I'm incapable of spending large amounts of time on a single piece so I rarely get passed basic shading, and even that's only done a few times a week.

Do a bit of both.

Don't become like some people (me included) and compulsively sketch without ever finishing something.

Why not, when you have an idea, do several different sketches first (set a time limit if you have to) and then polish your favourite?

>do you want to save changes?
No.

Fuck should I not save any of my study's? I stopped saving my gesture drawings but should I just not save anything
>>
>>2491825
Depends if you're obsessed with what you make or not. Obviously there are things you definitely need to save.
>>
>>2491825
Well, you should just save a bunch of shit in general if you want it for a portfolio.
I also just think it's nice to see my improvement on anything and everything I do.
>>

Well my value studies are always my best work and I get super depressed when drawing from imagination because its no where near as good and I always end up just doing another value study.
>>
You get attached because you don't believe you can redo what you've just done. Practice is the only way to get over that fear.

strangely motivating

I'm aware that Imgur.com will stop allowing adult images since 15th of May. I'm taking actions to backup as much data as possible.
