Oh yeah, thats normal right? As artists it's so easy to be hard or sometimes too humble. But thats awesome. It's such a terrific sign of desire to learn and push further, me thinks anyway. Regardless, there's sign of improvement. Just go back and see page 1 or up to post #24 and just consider it. You'll see all the things you would have done today. From late page 3 your paintings and these thumb exercises seem to be really helping. Post #80 is my favorite to be honest, #82 a very close second. I really like the master study there. On that I piece, I think you could have gone a bit further on the fabric and landscape, 15 hours in, whats another few. hah. The lady is nails though. A clear sign of improvement. I'm sure deep inside you feel it going down, if not, do! Nothing wrong with a well deserved confidence boost from time to time, I think. And I'm glad to be back, thanks!
