I would like to know your opinion on this.

Whenever I draw or paint something, it's difficult for me to finally push away whatever it is I'm working on and proclaim it finished.

It doesn't matter what it is, everything on it must be straight and symmetrical. If it is painted, the coats must be thick, and every nook and cranny must be covered. Even missed spots smaller than a grain of sand aren't tolerated.

This assures me that I'm happy with my work when I'm finished with it. Yet, I'm almost positive that others would view my stuff the same regardless of whether or not I've stressed myself out trying to pass my own rigorous inspection. I could get a lot more projects done in a shorter time period, and save myself unneeded stress all the while, but then I might feel like the quality isn't as high.

Do you battle with perfectionism or do you just stop when your work reaches it's presentable level? Have you beaten perfectionism?

Thanks for your input!
