Perfection Paralysis

when you can't seem to make any progress on your w.i.p. because your standards exceed your current skill level.
artist; i know this one part on this drawing doesn't look right, but nothing i try makes it look better, and i feel like i can't move on to other projects until i do.

friend; sounds like you got a bad case of perfection paralysis, my friend. you should find a different way to do it that's more familiar, or buckle down and do some studies, then come back to it. or, y'know, just accept it's not gonna be perfect and finish it anyway. maybe you can re-do it in a couple years to show how you've improved.
