A small practice for the old sketch comparison

Original practice · Optional exercise · A kinder measure of progress

Choose a low-stakes example you can change without affecting another person’s private information or commitments.

1. Describe the current situation in one sentence. The example here is: A new sketch is judged against a polished work by an expert.
2. Compare one chosen feature with the writer's own earlier attempt.
3. Compare the result with the difficulty you named. Write one concrete observation.
4. Keep, adapt, or stop the experiment. A note about why you stopped is a valid result.
