I REALLY need to let go of perfectionism in my art AGHHH

It makes me so so slow and I need to stop that but it’s so hard 😭 It’s like how do I get it through to my internal self, my internal brain.
I sound crazy, don’t mind me LMFAO

i struggle with the same thing, im a perfectionist in all areas of my life 😭 i dont just struggle with my art being slow, i struggle with not doing it AT ALL because im terrified of it looking bad. it really stunts my growth in general because im not even practicing as much as i should be. and im scared to even start big projects. or continue paintings when they get to the ugly stages. ive been putting a lot of effort into getting out of this mindset, posting imperfect art etc but its sooo hard.
timed drawing, seriously, you absolutely cannot produce perfect work when it's under a time limit, plus if you do timed drawing for say 30 mins every day, you will naturally get much faster at putting accurate lines down, it's a win win
