Over the course of embarking down this webcomicy-road, I've learned a lot about producing digital art and the strengths and shortcomings of my own artistic ability. Overall, I feel like I've been improving...

... But...

I've come to realize I've developed a fair number of really nasty art habits that are holding me back right now. I feel like, as we come to the end of Chapter 2, I've been stuck in a bit of a rut, mindlessly following a routine, instead of experimenting and trying new things. I used to think that character facial expressions were a strength of mine, but I've come to feel like they are one of the biggest weaknesses right now. I've been really disappointed lately as I fail, time and time again, to capture the expression I want. I try to forgive myself for mistakes, but I notice I'm making the same mistakes over and over again. That's not acceptable.

So, as I wrap up Chapter 2 and start on Chapter 3, I intend to do a bit more experimenting with characters and faces, and hopefully by evolving my style a bit more, I will be able to break some of the nasty art habits I've developed!
