if freinds are happy with their character drawn by you that is among the most important parts.an artist will always see all of the places they came up short from the ideal

That's very true! And even when I am bothered by flaws in my pictures, after not looking at them for a while, I usually don't notice them anymore. And I've become a lot better at fixing most of the flaws that used to bother me a lot. The hardest part for me is trying to not compare my art to the 82737123867182381263610 other absolutely amazing artists that post online. And since I spend most of my time looking at other people's art, it really makes me wish that I could become a master at all styles and be able to draw EVERYTHING!! Because I like pretty much everything.

But that's an unrealistic goal. Just like my life's dream of saving every pretty picture on the internet.
