    Have You Ever Looked At Your Work And Wanted To Rub It Off And Start Again?

    by

    Everyone’s work sometimes looks a mess. But what matters is what it looks like at the end. For example, the other day, Stephen caught me “softening” some trace-lines, and he was struck by something he saw me do. (Softening is where you lay down a wash or matt on top of unfired trace-lines, then blend gently while the wash is wet. This turns the trace-lines into gorgeous shadows.)

    What he saw me do was: he saw me carry on – even though what was on the light-box looked absolutely awful.

    Here’s an article about working with clients which Stephen wrote a while back.

    Various reasons for citing it here:

    1. It’s good.
    2. Lots of great comments.
    3. It was only sent to our subscribers.
    4. With so many newsletters out there, people sometimes wonder what they’re getting when they sign up to get  our newsletter.

    So have a look here. I promise it’s worth your time.
