I suppose that's a pretty fair and reasonable caution to take, then. Quality of art is almost always relative, anyhow; if something looks bad to you, chances are it still looks amazing to someone else. And there's almost no escaping being nitpicky on your own works.
I guess a good piece of advice is to try not to be too perfect. Perfectionism is the enemy of done, after all, in the words of jack_fractal. I heard one's view on one's own work is also reminiscent of their taste. That is, if you draw something, and are unsatisfied with it despite it being your best efforts, it means that you have a higher sense of taste than what your skill (which is still developing!) can do. And that just means you have something to work toward.
This is applicable to all kinds of artforms too, including writing and music.
...
But, as for the panels in particular that I want to redo, It's these fellows.
I dunno. Especially compared to the surrounding panels, the posing in these just seems unacceptable. And I wasn't really happy with it when I was drawing them either, but I still pushed it with the update because it was something!! And I had to draw something!! Oh well, we're past that. The fact that nothing stuck out in your head probably says a lot about what I was just saying above, though.
