Context: I'm drawing a box (don't tell me lol), I place dots to mark the start and end of a line, I do the trace, but I overshoot the line. If I commit to the line, the box will be a mess, if i ignore the overshoot, the box will be "hairy" on the corner.
Question: do i commit to the overshooted line or do i ignore the overshoot?
Thanks!
Do whichever leads to the box having a better convergence. If the original dots you placed line up better than the end of the overshot line, draw from there. If after closer inspection you realize some point along the overshot line works better, draw from there instead.
Sometimes when I overshoot a line I realize my initial dot was actually at a worse place than I realized and the line I drew is accidentally better, so stop to take a look and both options before going forward.
Thank you very much!
I was a wondering what to do and if I was making the wrong choice all the time.
I usally stay with my initial dot, but now I will spend a time analyzing the line when I overshoot again.

Thanks!
So Uncomfy says to commit to the mark, I need to change what I'm doing.
Here we're getting into the subjective - Gerald Brom is one of my favourite artists (and a pretty fantastic novelist!). That said, if I recommended art books just for the beautiful images contained therein, my list of recommendations would be miles long.
The reason this book is close to my heart is because of its introduction, where Brom goes explains in detail just how he went from being an army brat to one of the most highly respected dark fantasy artists in the world today. I believe that one's work is flavoured by their life's experiences, and discovering the roots from which other artists hail can help give one perspective on their own beginnings, and perhaps their eventual destination as well.
