Explaining the process is my favourite methods of reevaluation. I use it to refine and think of new approaches, and also debug issues. It produces better results than relying on critiques alone because sometimes people point the obvious — what looks wrong — but they don't know how it went wrong. They'll give well-intentioned suggestions (eg gestures) almost as if reading from a syllabus, exercises that won't help you as much as expected because sometimes the root of your deficiencies lie elsewhere.
So I feel it's important to reevaluate your approach to mix what you know about yourself — fears, technique snags, etc — into practice. Speaking of approaches, I posted late last night and forgot to ask you something about timing drawings! Do you know why it's done?
Timing studies is a source of stress to me. I'm avoiding it by doing the "no hard individual piece timing, assign a time slot and set minor goals instead", but I'd hate to miss some unknown benefit because I misunderstood the point. I feel it's to keep people moving on, without losing themselves into details nor fleeing into the next drawing to avoid something they dislike. Is that correct?
Oh, and here's another sketch done to exorcise ideas. Doubles as a quick body of water rendering practice. This is close to the look I'm aiming for that graphic novel project.
