I can't draw loosely โ€” every mark has to be perfect or I delete it

Why this happens

You're treating every layer as the final layer. The pressure is real because the consequence feels real. The fix is structural โ€” make it physically impossible for the mark to matter.

FIX IT NOW

  1. Create a new layer. Name it exactly: TRASH
  2. Draw everything on TRASH. Deliberately rough. You already know you're deleting this layer โ€” so nothing you put on it counts
  3. When something in the rough sketch works, create a new layer above it, reduce TRASH opacity to 30%, and trace only what works onto the new layer
  4. Delete TRASH

WHY THE NAME MATTERS

"Sketch" or "Layer 1" still carries weight. "TRASH" removes it entirely. The layer name is part of the fix.
