A thing to bear in mind is that you will never feel satisfied with your art, not even when you’re skilled enough to be able to capture the ideas in your head right now. That’s because as you execute your current ideas, you will cultivate newer and greater ideas that require you to keep pushing yourself.
It hurts sometimes, but it’s ultimately positive. It’s important to keep perspective of progress
I mean YMMV. When I put in an effort to refuse the urge to think or say negative things about my art and tried to come up with general ideas rather than a specific image I had in my mind that the real project would never be able to replicate, I found I became a lot more satisfied with my own work because I was no longer comparing the results to an impossible to achieve version of it that I had in my head nor was I constantly hyperfocusing on the flaws. I instead just targeted aspects I wanted to improve at the most.
