Dry month of WIP Sketches + general update (Patreon)

First of all, thank you to everyone that has been waiting patiently for new content and those that sent me well wishes to me when I was sick, I really appreciate knowing that you guys care about my well being.

That being said I've attached a zip with the wip sketches of things I've worked on over the last 46~ days, not including commissions that are still pending.

Most of the zip is sketches of the above pose which was my attempt to essentially force a pose showing Vanessa's feet, booty, breasts and face as well as giving her a flat bangs hairstyle (a hairstyle I have learned I don't actually know how to draw).  Long story short, I obsessed over this for roughly 5 weeks, often restarting the piece to fix anatomical problems well after I had gotten done with the lines and rendering. What I should have done was contacted the commissioner as soon as I had felt this bizarre perfectionist feeling and been more transparent with the difficulties I had, because once I finally did they told me to try something else and do what feels best.

So the end result was the the Vanessa Nude Resort piece from earlier today where shes laying on her side, a pose I initially told the commissioner I would have problems with but turned out better than the above pose ever could at my current level. I have no idea what I was thinking at the time, maybe I thought I could do something more interesting with the above pose or maybe I felt like I needed to show more of the breasts/face/etc? This obsessiveness to get things to be as good as I can make them often makes me blind to the fact that I don't know how to do certain things and that I REALLY shouldn't attempt them with commissions.

Anyway, let me know what you guys think about this stuff/mindset if anything and as always thank you for your support!
