Foul-ups

What do you do when you feel like you really messed up on a piece? I'm currently working on the third Star Wars "saint" painting. I am having great difficulty getting the face just right, and I made some kind of mistake during the tracing which screwed up the angle of a long line so that it doesn't match up as it should. I've spent hours and hours on the face, and it's not getting any better, so finally I scrubbed it with turpenol and a paper towel. It's bad enough, though, that I now hate the whole thing and want to set it on fire and start over fresh. I can reuse the canvas for a landscape or something when it eventually dries.

I want to cry, but I'm not sure if it's out of joy or sorrow. The plan is to make Episode VII for a 2015 release. In 2008, Lucas said straight up that neither he nor anyone else would ever make another Star Wars movie, period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_sequel_trilogy "In an interview published in Total Film in May 2008, Lucas also ruled out anybody else ever making the sequel trilogy (or other future Star Wars features). Asked if he was happy for new Star Wars tales to be told after he was gone, Lucas replied: "I've left pretty explicit instructions for there not to be any more features. There will definitely be no Episodes VII
