Oh my gosh, Rachel, I was JUST thinking to myself how my revisions seem to suck the initial life out of my original drafts and feel more and more boring with each iteration. It feels like when you do the cleaner line drawings over the original sketch, you just lose a little of the life. I’ll try and sit with my boredom a bit and see what new life can emerge. 🧡 I love your newsletter!
Jess, I totally feel this! It is so hard not to lose the life of things as I revise. But it sounds like you have a good plan to sit with the boredom. I would love to know how it goes and what you discover. I have a feeling you'll find something that surprises yourself and brings life back into your process :) And thank you so much for the love and the comment. I'm glad you are sitting with me at the kids table!
