As always, I left tonight's Sketch Charlotte meeting inspired to go home and work on my stuff. Although there have been many reasons why I haven't made much progress on my book the last two weeks one of them was this stinking panel that I had completely screwed up inking. You can see how using too much whiteout to cover up my errors only turned it into a cruddy mess. I actually am not that enamored with the redo either but I'm going to power through and just get this page done anyway. There's still some photoshop clean-up work to do but click below to see the revised panel and the nearly completed page it is to live on:

First off let me say I can totally relate about not liking your own work at times but you've got to just plow through. Otherwise, you'll never finish anything. After all the story is the most important part. Look at Sandman (even though I know Rich hasn't read it ;-)). There were a few issues here and there that weren't up to the usual quality but when the story was all finished and you read the completed books you don't even remember those few issues. The overall story is what stays in your thoughts. I like what I see Rich. Your drawing is confident and I for one can not wait to read your comic.
Peace,
Herc

I was having a similar frustrating experience with an illustration yesterday, so I decided to stop by the art supply store and buy two opaque white ink correction markers (one fine tip, one large) in the hopes that it would be an improvement over White-Out... will let you know how these work out.
On a more philosophical level, Herc is right. You may be excruciatingly aware of each panel's shortcomings, but readers will notice the best of the art, and the overall story... sometimes we just have to keep on going and bind and gag our internal critics.
