Impress

My friend posts this long quote about being an artist and striving to always become better. (that's the short version). I'm in fact never satisfied with any of my art, thus I am reluctant to show it or further myself as an artist. I must overcome this soul burden.
I've decided to do quick sketch work everyday to try and reclaim myself as an artist. I also realized, I never really did like shade work, although I try and conquer the technique with all colors I decide to through down. I ask myself why? Is it to impress something, or someone? It's definitely not to impress myself. I admire solid and bold colors. So for these sketches, I will stay in what pleases me as an artist.
