Artists, what's the funniest blunder you've had mid-process?
Me: I once tried to erase some pencil shading on a page from a giant sketchbook I had, but I went a bit hard and my hand slipped, causing a piece of the paper to peel upwards despite not going all the way through. While I kinda managed to salvage it, I kid you not, I literally screamed, "NOOOOO!!!!" out loud. That's not even an exaggeration. Moral of the story: go easy with the eraser. 🥲

Whenever I make a simple, boneheaded mistake, I have the tendency to beat myself up about it far too much. I try to put things into perspective.
For example, Canadian Col. Lawrence Cosgrave put his name on the wrong line when signing the surrender documents to end World War II, and everyone just made pen-and-ink changes and just rolled with it.

As proof that everyone makes mistakes sometimes, I present to you this poster I saw at the university...where university is spelled wrong. #typo #MistakesHappen #PobodysNerfect
