I read the War Of Art by Steven Pressfield a while back and it is helping me kick procrastination in the ass!
One of the key things is not to concern myself about how good or bad a piece of work is going to turn out - my job is just to turn up and put brush to canvas again and again.
Then I go to bed and force myself not to be concerned about whether I made good art. I turned up, that is enough.
So for the past couple of weeks I've been working on another book illustration. This is a futuristic, cyberpunk style street scene. A woman is heading over to a mobile organ transplant van where she can make load of money by swapping her organic organs for artificial ones. It will be a greyscale painting so I have to be on the ball with my values. Any critiques would be appreciated.
