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

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.
