Critiques - the Critical Key to Artistic Growth “I’ve never posted my artwork before and I’m pretty nervous…” Does the thought of posting your Copic Marker projects for critique make you squeamish? Are you nervous about submitting your colored pencil classwork for feedback? Are you afraid of sharing anything you draw or color for fear of someone laughing? Coloring friends, you have NOTHING to be afraid of.

 You’re halfway into the Copic Marker or colored pencil project and things are not going well. There’s no way of dancing around it. The may only be half finished, but man! This looks TERRIBLE!!! What happened? Did you waste all that time and your expensive supplies? Should you just throw the dumb thing out? Maybe; just maybe… you’re not good enough to be a real artist? Stop right there! Today’s Inkwell is a blast of realistic insight on the normal creative process. Don’t pack up your Copics just yet!
