The issue I have at the moment is I think everything I do is crap.. I finish a picture and its crap, its not how I want it to turn out, it looks nothing like in my head so I throw it away.

I am currently focusing my efforts of studying the basics, colour, light, composition, form, shape etc.. But I have no confidence in my ability when it comes to creating a finished piece. I don't know when or if I will ever reach a level where I look at my work and think 'this is how I envisioned it". It seems like a long shot, and I am having a hard time figuring out if I am even improving.
