Aloha friends! Today I've got something a little different for you. I've made a speed demo of my latest pencil portrait, Isabella, and during the vid I talk a bit about what perfection in one's own art means to me.

Salvador Dali has a fantastic quote that I share in the vid as a kicking off point to discuss 'perfection.' I find it helps me me avoid getting too caught up in minutiae, but I'm also curious if any of you wonderful readers have a quote, mantra, or standard that helps you continue to grow in your own craft, be it art-making or otherwise, and not get bogged down with self-doubt or self-critiques? Leave it for me in the comments!
