Hi Natalie,
Try not to lose too much sleep over this, it is universal. I walk into some of my clients' homes and cringe inside to see what I drew back in 2005 - what was I thinking????? But I keep my mouth shut, because my clients are still happy customers.

A couple weeks ago I went to a client's home to do a photo shoot of their children for a portrait. Hanging proudly in the living room, on the "best" wall was a sanguine drawing of the eldest daughter. The mom could not wait to show me because it was done by an artist in New York! It was down right awful, really bad. But mom loved it!

Hopefully we will always be growing and getting better each year. Keep filling the funnel with potential clients and let them be the judge of your work.

Good luck!
