So many ideas swarm around in my head, and yet, I can’t seem to settle on a single one. My brain is lit with the fire flies of inspiration. Over and over again I start a drawing only to deem it less that my best. Self-criticism is the toughest critic around.

I had the very same idea! Nowhere near as finished as yours.. so might rethink. Great minds think alike:-)
“Over and over again I start a drawing only to deem it less that my best. Self-criticism is the toughest critic around.” I feel like that a lot too! Which is why its good to engage in active dialogue with fellow image makers and participate in projects like illustration friday. I really like your contribution to this weeks topic! Especially the colours…I have yet to finish mine tonight still eek! I sense an “unfinished” post is forthcoming though…sigh.
