The hardest thing to see is what is in front of you.
I can't count how many times I have been trying to solve a problem only to realize that the answer was right under my nose the whole time. When I am working on an art project, I usually don't notice the things that are wrong with it while I am working on it. When it is in front of me, I am usually too invested in my work to see it objectively. Sometimes I never notice the problem areas until someone else points them out to me. It is important for me to learn how to see my work more objectively while I work on it. It seems to help if I walk away from it for a couple days and then look at it again with fresh eyes.
It's not what you look at that matters, it's what you see.
There is a big difference between looking and seeing. When I look at a great piece of art, it is easy to recognize that it is great. Our minds can intuitively understand whether something looks good or not. The hard part is learning to see it. As someone who wants to learn how to make my own great art, I need to be able to see what makes it good. I need to be able to look at a great design and pick out the design elements and how they work together to make it great. That way I can learn from it and apply the principles to my own work.
