Need to be more artistic with my work

Trying to get a bit more artistic again with my work. Feel I was striving for too much realism which is not what I want to be. Realism is something I always wanted to try, some people do it easily but it is not easy for me and I am starting to feel it hinders my creativity a bit by trying to be so realistic.

I enjoy drawing portraits but the need for realism is ruining the fun somewhat. I just need to drop the need for total realism and be more impressionistic :) for instance my Darth Vader drawing was done almost entirely with me using very small circles and it was great fun to do and realism was not my goal :) – I need to go back to my roots however i still have some requests to fulfill for realist looking drawings.
