Throughout this course, it's best you stick with the results of each mark you make, and not attempt to correct them after the fact. This will force you to adapt to the marks you make and accept that due to certain mistakes you won't be matching your reference perfectly.

In the grander scheme of things, the purpose of this is to help train students to be more aware of the specific actions they take, to accept that the way to avoid mistakes is to invest more time up-front before executing the mark, and that sometimes mistakes are unavoidable. All the work we do throughout this course constitutes drawing exercises - many students are prone to thinking in terms of "if I made a mistake, I didn't do the work correctly", which is simply untrue. Mistakes are a part of the learning process, but we do have to expend some effort unlearning the alternate manner of thinking, so as to benefit most from them.
