How can I do creative things without thinking?

'cause, I've done great pieces of art, but never when I'm totally awake. Super late at night, I'll just randomly draw something, and it ends up looking great. But, if I'm still conscious as I draw, I think too much and try to make it perfect, and it ends up looking terrible in the end. Same goes for any kind of creative thing I'm doing.

How can I draw (or do anything creative) without overthinking it? >.>

Just think of it in a simple way. Do not worry to much about shading, do not worry about how off scale the drawing is. Just think "I like this, this is my style and I will work with it". That will progress you faster.

I used to try complex art styles that would change my mindset to "THIS HAS TO BE PERFECT". All that did was make me almost stop drawing all together.
