Grabbing the rose by the petals

Hello everyone. Have you ever had the situation where you have done something and you have been  just undecided about it?  I just had that happen. Just colored up an image from Altanew.  It gave me a chance to use my Spectrum Noir markers. Now I was just hyper critical. Why?  Because the markers have nib ends. Yep not a brush tip in sight and I have not made it a secret that I love my brush tips. I felt so awkward. I usually flick, glide. Now I had to circle. So many new movements for my hands to make.  Anyway, I finished the coloring. Yeah. Was I happy with it.....No. Hahaha. So what did I do?  Go on some group pages and asked what could I improve on. I am not happy with it( thinking surely they see the awkwardness of my circle technique or that the blending was not great and they would tell me so) Well guess what happened?  They were not critical, had no suggestions on improvement and in fact complimented my creation. What?! ....Yep . They complimented it and said that it looked great. Well that was really eye opening and just proved something to me. No matter how much you may not like what you have done don't judge it and withhold it from others. You never know what a person may like.
