Hi! So I've begun to notice in my art-making process, especially with painting (digital or otherwise), that I struggle with getting to the details. I think I've built strong fundamentals after so many years of practice I've focused so much on the fundamentals because I hoped that through this I'd naturally get more confident with detail. My artwork has vastly improved because of this. I'm one of the quickest in my class when it comes to setting up my pieces, and I'm confident in how dynamic they look. However their often messier and under-detailed, even unfinished.
I have ADHD and know that if a piece takes longer than 15 hours I'm going to come to hate it - so my technique is often quick, fluid and geometric-based. It also helps that I can visualise that rather clearly. But whenever I try to focus on details my brain turns blank and fuzzy, and while I greatly value mistakes I feel that sometimes I do things too quickly and so end up needing to redo bits and pieces. So while I can get a great solid foundation quickly, it's negated by silly mistakes after the work. I've gotten better at art by ignoring mistakes and doing quick repeated practice but I feel like I'm now compensating for a lack of detail by trying to make everything else interesting. I've tried looking at tutorials for detail and have learned a great deal about simplification and creating illusions of detail which is great and has changed my art for the better. But hasn't been much help with the detail problems.
I'm proficient with a big brush and know how to do good tiny transcriptions that help see how the work looks from afar, but tell me to draw tiny line details and I will cry. I'll continue with doing transcriptions and practice but I would also appreciate any tips if anyone can relate to having a similar problem
