Remake your first!

I have told my artist friends, as well as my self in different fields, whether its in music, drawing, carpentry or leatherwork, that if there is an art to it, go back and remake your first.

The vary first project I ever made, just about a year ago, was a strap for my chain on my wallet to hold to my belt. the background was overdone so I got a hamburger effect from the tool. Now I didn't redo it in the same style obviously, but I did want to do it in the same time it took as the original. which was 25 minutes, from start to finish. Still not the best I can do, but it was a challenge for what I wanted to do.
