Knowing when to stop
Knowing when to stop is a major question for all artists, working in digital media or not. It's called "restraint" and it's tough, because you have to develop confidence in yourself and in the idea that less really can be more to use it properly. YOu may experience it with fashion accessories, too. I've often heard that you should dress yourself up with everything you want to add to this outfit, and then you should keep taking things off until you get to wear you couldn't possibly remove a thing without ruining the effect. That's when you know to stop.
