Drawings

I've started drawing again. I figured I shoud practice more to improve my skills. But my problem is that I want it to be perfect at the first try, and that's not how it works. So I end up giving up before I've even started.

These are my two most recent drawings, both Marie Antoinette. I think the first one turned out okay, the second one is well, not so good. My way of drawing is very sketchy, and I somehow never finish my drawings.
