I was looking through some older sketches the day I drew this. I know I shouldn’t care but I used to get several hundred likes on Instagram. Now I struggle to get close to this. My sketches from before also seemed more…careful? So with this one I took more care, used a finer pen and didn’t obsess about filling in all the detail.

Your reflection is honest, relatable, and beautifully human. The way you describe returning to your older sketches — not out of comparison, but out of quiet curiosity — shows how deeply you care about your craft. And this new drawing, created with intention, patience, and a finer pen, carries that growth.
