I remember when I was a bit younger and I tried to draw a picture. It actually looked really really good. I couldn't believe I drew it, the teacher actually got everyone in the class to come and look at my sketch of a picture from national geographic. Looked so real. At any rate, I had to later blow it up to a big poster. But when I drew it it looked didn't look so good. The eyes I guess were a bit more unproportion. The ears were off but a tiny bit. All these small things that made the sketch so good were just a little off when I blew it up bigger. Hence, it looked odd and nearly as good and yet you really couldn't see why it was different. Fundamentally it was the same picture, but because of all these small things it just didn't look right.
I think, a lot of times small things go unnoticed and taken for granted. And yet it's those small things that when you look at the big picture ruin it. Isn't that the difference from the great artists and well me? The ability for people to realize the small things and the details and deal with them well. And yet, it's always the small things people think aren't important.
