Artist, Artist I wanna be an artist

I absolutely hate that I can't draw a damn thing without some kind of reference picture to get me through it :/

I really find that it stifles my creativity because of the already established structures of the reference and the positioning of limbs and such.

Then, if I try and change or alter this, it comes out looking like a mess.
It really gets me down sometimes, and is the major source of my frustration with making new pieces and doing the kinds of things I really want to do.

I was hoping that practice would help, but it doesn't seem to be.
Some of the parts on my Trainer application look absolutely horrid, because of this fact.

I know I'm not going to go very far in this contest, but it is fun.
So many potential good pieces though, that I come up with, won't or can't be done because I can't get them down on paper.

Makes me rather sad.
*sigh*
