As a more experienced artist, I actually got "worse" at posting my personal shots for feedback as I developed, and this was the article I needed to read today, so thank you so much.

As I got more experienced, I had a more innate sense of where the value groups of the image needed to go, what was not working, and what was working. Generally there were at least a few broken things, and I ended up putting myself in a situation where I was stuck on a personal project, but too prideful to show it just yet/and then spending many wasteful hours slowly chipping away at them myself, when a mentor could have gotten me there 5 times faster.

I think part of me wants to save them time or be considerate,

, forgetting that the first/second pass does not define me as an artist. It really feels so easy to though, as the final image is not complete yet.
