I’m guilty of this myself: I get so excited about an area of the painting or drawing that I get lost in the experience of rendering, but in the end it doesn’t really contribute to the intent of the final image. I had to develop an internal mechanism which reminds me to contextualise an area I’m working on, and apply it to the bigger picture; this helped me to evaluate how much time and resource to devote to each part of the drawing.
