Being ok with drawing that do not evolve beyond the initial intent is fine this is what exploration is for.The problem is often that we can get so over saturated by other people work that we feel as if we are exploring to much or to little.I think that might be a problem of process for example some people might get stuck in over rendering piece or some might do to much preparatory drawing or construction.The problem is that in general no artist ever really think of rewinding there thought process until they arrive in a space where there other artist who force them to interact with there older piece and ask them about the process and why they might have choose this or that. Justifying those decision can become overwelming at time because you start to realize how much decision you make will drawing but it not so stressing because most of the decision are almost intuitive to a degree so you don't feel as if you really have to justify them will more complexe problem require a good justification as to if the process will lead to the intended goal.I think trusting the process is what make thing intuitive if you explore something new it less intuitive that natural.

Having a space to get feedback is really critical to have a honest perspective the key is to ask people you can trust not to sugar coat what is wrong.But it come at a cost which mean less time drawing and more time spent in retrospective but overall this can lead to better yield.It can be hard to let go of being intuitive to a certain degree.
