I totally second this. I've sat months trying to draw something perfect, so then I try and what I draw turns out deformed because of all the pressure I put on myself.

Actually, I do draw. I just don't want to do it digitally. No time...

You do have to be in the right mindset... sometimes taking a break is best.

Here is a perfect example: a watercolor painting I started in 9th grade (only the face and one ear) and I just couldn't find the desire to finish. Then toward the end of my senior year, I came across my reference photo and suddenly became inspired again. It was weird working on something from years earlier... almost like it belonged to a different person.
