Failure is scary. Starting over is tedious. But they both have their benefits. 📉😨📈 Last night, I was working on a project that just wasn’t coming together. I spent hours trying and failing to get the background to work. Once the individual pieces finally started to fall into place, my computer crashed. Even worse – None of the progress that was made had been saved, and there was no recovery file to be seen. 💻🎨💀 It happens. 💩💩💩 Fail fast and learn from your mistakes. 📉💨💡 Anyways, it’s WIP Wednesday, so I guess I’ll take a moment to part the curtain and show off a little of what I was talking about. I don’t think it is finished (in fact, I may have to completely redo the torso), and after a night of sleep, I think I can do better still with the background, but here is a more fully fleshed out version of a critter that was hinted to earlier this month. It’s an endangered reptile native to Guatemala called Cope’s Arboreal Alligator Lizard. Go ahead and Google that. It’s a beautiful lizard, and like a few other critters I’ve drawn in the past, its home is limited to a very small portion of the globe. 🌲🐊🌳 So what do you think? Any animals you think I should draw? What’s your favorite animal? Do you have any thoughts/feelings/stories about failing/starting over? Leave those answers in the comments below, and have a wonderful day! 😸😸😸 . . . #failure #startingover #fail #failfast #failoften #shithappens #bepositive #positivity #saveearly #saveoften #endangered #animal #animals #arboreal #alligator #lizard #reptile #critter #critters #favorite #favoriteanimal #blossoms #flowers #pink #green #wip #wipwednesday #workinprocess #endangeredanimal #endangered
