The importance of knowing when to take your drawing away

Knowing when to take your drawing away is a crucial step in the creative process. Many artists get caught in the loop of perfectionism, fearing judgment and never finishing their work. The key is to understand that perfection is impossible and that imperfections are part of the creative journey. Establishing a specific editing process can help with this. For example, reading the draft silently and then reading it out loud three times can provide valuable insights. By trusting the process and accepting that there will always be something to improve, artists can punch up their writing and bring their work to the next level.
