Sometimes you have to draw something again. Kelly Light has recently blogged about this in a super humorous way. Her point is very true statement.

I just went through a number of bad drawings and I’m still not sure I have achieved a final I love. If you remember my first idea didn’t work, the boys with the mirror, it was a departure from the story. Starting over, I sketched the new idea many times and then finished it as a full color illustration. However, it looked terrible, the faces were all wrong, their expressions didn’t quite make sense, and the coloring was overworked. I could have argued that the piece was passable, but not anymore. I sketched all the boys again working on their expressions and then I finished it again.

I think I may still be going back to it again.

Happy drawing bad drawings; free yourself and let yourself make bad art.
