This is a bit related to the last post so I'll just say it. Sometimes when I'm drawing something or someone and I care too much about it, I end up having a harder time drawing it or I'm more critical of the end product(s). I like to take my time. Sometimes things end up looking absolutely different than the person I was drawing. A great example would be when I was drawing a younger cousin of mine and the face ended up looking like Mary Jane Watson as drawn by John Romita Sr.
Safe to say that sometimes some distance in your thinking + emotions between yourself and what you're trying to draw really helps. Ok, that's nuff randomness for today.
