detailed and in a groove?

i can get very detail-oriented
so much so that i could lose
my perspective easily as i'd
zoom zoom zoom in

and i fought
against it
for some time

here, the 2 drawings i did in 1994
and were given away

i remember i at one point
was drawing with a hair of a brush
the one hair sticking out at the tip

and even i thought it was too much




me-to-me critique:
the dog portrait, if it's me now, i'd
fill out the backgound with
one color-to simplify a bit


in 1994, i discovered paint brushes
didn't care to bother with them until then
so these are really the
portrait of my over-enthsiasm

as for being detail-oriented,
after trying to get over it by
overly being sloppy
and producing stuff that resembled
a pseudo children's drawing done by an adult

i gave up fighting
but decided to

keep
some
balance

to remain detailed but
in the groove, riding it
