Having standards above your skill level is a good thing. It means your eye is getting better at seeing things. Your eye always has to be better than your skill level in order to improve, otherwise you just become comfortable with your current ability and stagnate. The trick is not to get frustrated by constantly feeling that your technical ability is lacking. I know it's a cliche but just think of every bad drawing as getting you one step closer to that really awesome image. You have to do them to get them out of the way. Keep at it.
