The last few things I want to link are other people's blogs regarding various things. I have them all inspirational and very helpful, and they're well worth a read.
Deadlines Versus Perfection
Great advice on finishing a project up, and for trying to over come obsessive needs for perfection. This really helped me speed my work up by letting me know that it was ok if my work was perfect.
Five things to do with your ideas.
A great break down of an organised and effective way to go about producing work, which will ensure you get the best results you can.
Speed Painting
I always find it immensely interesting and helpful to see how others work, even if I don't use their techniques myself.
Accepting critique like a pro
This was the big one for me. Until recently I've been awful at receiving criticism- not because I'm big headed and don't think anyone else knows better, but because my self esteem and confidence levels are so low. It helped me realise that people aren't out to put me down when they give me critiques- they're trying to help me improve. This blog was so valuable, I can't begin to tell you what a difference it has made in my work. I know crave criticism, ask for it, and receive it well and carry out what is suggested (as long as they're good suggestions of course).
