Also I don't know what you are expecting, drawing and painting is multi-step process often requiring re-drawing and layering.

Look at the pic related from Syd Mead. He actually made 4 videos about the process of making it, first from thumbnails, then going into value sketching and then 2 additional videos about rendering in gouache.

Here I found first 2 videos, watch them, see what he does to make finished illustration:

His thumbnails don't look like anything - but he does a lot of them, different perspectives, tries different things, is patient, but confident...and the drawing/painting happens as he goes.

Painters especially suffer from "looking at shit". They often paint holding brushes at the end, with arm stretched to be as far away from canvas as possible - and still, most of them don't really do anything like blending if they haven't covered whole canvas with very rough and shit looking on their own brushstrokes. Then they kinda see things.

You don't have a process, you don't know what you are doing and that's why you are frustrated. Develop patience and trust yourself and technique.

Have you done that Stravinsky Pablo Piasso exercise? It's really all about that - patient measuring, laying relationships between shapes and trusting that when you turn the drawing upside down it will look ok.
