Analysing your own strengths and weakness is a classic Dunning-Kruger problem - you don't know what you don't know, so you can't assess your work accurately.

You can either fix this by trying to copy what other people do in as many different ways as possible, or having a real expert around to say "No, try this instead."

Doing stuff over and over only helps if you're creatively blocked and are terrified of producing crap. It's a good first step towards building momentum, but it's just a beginning.
