Lack of Inspiration

I am having huge cravings to draw something.. anything, but for the life of me, I can't draw anything. Oh, it's the worst. I am so uninspired and unmotivated to do what I love. I even took a class this past quarter called "Creativity and Inspiration." That's how desperate I am to get inspired again. I guess it stems from my fear of not being good enough. (There's my inner psychologist talking..) Perfection can really hinder progress of any sort.

For example, when I start drawing something I, like many others, get frustrated when my line is shaky or my line drawing looks nothing like I wanted it to. Sometimes, when I'm lucky, I just wing it and take it as it is, but most of the time I start and end very soon because of that frustration. I would give anything to just not give a care in the world and just draw my heart out - that is how you get better at something.. practice. How can I practice if I'm so afraid of failure?

This dumb fear is keeping me from doing something I love. Go away fear. Let me draw. ):

I have so many ideas, so many plans of drawing beautiful works of art, but they can never come to fruition if I don't face my fear. Maybe this winter break I can finally face that fear.
