i just recently learned that the inner critic your talking about can be tamed. there are ways to practice turning it on and off, setting boundaries for it.

eg - in the Natural Way to Draw - the best exercise (author's claim not mine) is daily homework of making a small composition from memory with a hard set time limit 15 mins. no touch up ever again. one and done. you're mind will want to do more, don't let it.
