Editing: Line art

There's a time and place to clean things up, and as an artist, editing and cleaning your line art is the most tedious and time consuming process (in my opinion anyway). For artists who haven't invested in a tablet yet, like myself and still need to do the 'draw and scan' you'd know what I'm talking about.

But it's amazing what editing can do, you can turn a drawing like the one on your left, to the one on your right.

As an artist however, sometimes it doesn't matter how much time you've spent on the piece. Sometimes, it just doesn't seem quite finished yet, even if it does to others. The thing about creating and designing, you start to get an emotional attachment with that piece. In a way it could be a good thing and a bad thing. If you get too attached to the piece, you start to be closed minded toward other ideas and opinions. But all in all, the decision to make changes to your work is in your hands.
