many artists get lost in detail and that is part of being an artist. I used to think I had OCD since for as long as I can remember I could never leave a piece of art alone unless it was "perfect". In the process of making it perfect I usually screwed up the whole thing. Artists are never satisfied with their work. Throughout my life I realized I was not alone and other artists have the same habit. I am sure that artists a zillion years ago were no different. I have also done artwork while dosed (acid) and it screwed up whatever I attempted from the first second that I began. It NEVER was helpful, only a deterrent, in producing realistic art which I am normally very good at.
