Practice with this one...
Failure too.

What I've tried on this was to go for detail. Using a guidebook I bought a while ago, I wanted to test out some specific techniques. All in all, it was coming up great- it came out well with the tree and foreground. Teal and the background though... not so much.
I find this drawing unbalanced in style, but that does not fail to say that it isn't artistic. Quite frankly, thinking badly about balance had led me to an artblock every time I wanted to come by to finish this. I worried far too much about it, I took it slow: retraced back and erased carefully, then started building up again. The final image, I'm satisfied, but still think it's a bad style in itself. In the end, I pieced both styles together, made it fit, and called it quits.
The Latin name listed on this helps me remember the struggle I went through trying too hard.

Time: 26 (I left off counting at around 14, but pretty sure it's mid 20s)
- Never again.
