Drawing Without Boring

What makes a drawing boring?

Any sketch or drawing that is overworked because the artist (possibly inexperienced) does not know when to stop.

He/she thinks by adding more and more detail makes the art look more professional. The key is knowing exactly when to stop.

Put your painting away for a day or two, then, with a fresh eyes, re-evaluate. You will see quite a difference as you now have a different viewpoint. You will notice the weak and strong points in your drawing or design.

Another test is to hold your artwork up to a mirror—you may well be surprised with what you see!
