I don't know if you get some sort of adrenaline rush by having people label you as the "suicidal NGMI schizo" because this is like the 3rd time I see the same response (down to the reply and image attached) around the board within a week or so but god damn dude, have some self-compassion with yourself.

Art is tough, even the best artists you admire & look up to went through this phase. I think you'd benefit from working within a much more forgiving time frame (an hour perhaps?) so you can give yourself some time to think, analyze and put down a mark that rings true to what you're seeing.
I've seen the pieces you've posted in the past and this artist you're trying to copy from has some subtle curve/line shifts that can be hard to capture. Have you tried picking something that is difficult but not chock-full of anatomical nuances? beating yourself up over a drawing that is probably miles ahead of your current skill level will do you no good.

I have no idea what this "3 month" deadline is but just like that anon who replied to you said, measure things around. I too used to measure a lot of shit to the point where it looked like a monthly expenses graphic chart to the point where I'd lose any motivation to draw because everything looked so mechanical but it certainly helps after you've "eye balled" everything to make sure that you're close to the actual mark.

Also, work on your chicken scratching, I'd assume this is also taking a toll on your self confidence because it makes it look amateurish. You don't have to get those subtle curves in a single stroke, you can actually make it look a seamless stroke by picking it up right where you left it by connecting your next curve right where you left the first one. It takes time, but it'd certainly alleviate some of that burden.

Don't give up anon, remember you're only competing against yourself.
