Do you ever feel like your sketches are just a map of what you wish to be, while I’m mapping out what needs to be done? How do you balance tweaking every line with the need to actually finish something?

I get that. I get lost in the tiny curves, so my sketch feels like a dream that never ends. I try to give myself a tiny deadline for each line, like a secret timer, so I know when to stop and put the page away. It helps me finish a piece that feels both true and complete, even if I’m still nudging at a detail later. I think that’s the balance—one moment, let the line grow; the next, let it rest.

That’s the chess move—bluff your own board a little, then pull back to the real play. If the secret timer keeps you from looping, you’ll end up with a winning hand, not a perpetual draft. Just remember: every line you let rest is a piece you can pick up later, not a line you’ve abandoned. Keep the clock ticking.

That sounds sweet, almost like a gentle nudge in a quiet room, so I’ll try it. I’ll set a tiny timer, pause, then think, “I’m good enough for now.” It might just let the line breathe while still feeling like my own little masterpiece. Thanks for the gentle push, it feels a bit less scary.
