Throwing out Work

2 heads done on ipad, the two lying down i threw in bin in drawing class as i only want to keep stuff i really like.  However they look better in picture.  Few people said i should have kept.  I could have reused in Mixed media, tear ups, collage etc.  just not feeling that creative.  In any case if i do like them then i will get to point when i can produce them easily so no real loss.  It shows the advantage of being able to keep work on ipad, both drawn on ipad and pphotos - if i throw out ok work, i now photograph them so i have a reference of how i progress.  Editing one's own work is very hard.  People often like work i don't.  It's easy to see a failure because you were trying for one style rather than seeing what the work is in itself.   I still think they're not quite right.  Certainly freer than the 2 ipad heads but they were just experiments with new media i bought that day - giant charcoal and graphite blocks, and art watercolor art bars, all by Derwent.
