Hi, here is my overpaint drawing of your reference. Now as I could go into details why I made those decisions, I will give you genral advice which I think will be more beneficial at this stage. I'd reccomend that you take a step back and focus on your drawing skills. And you can do it here on ArtWod, there is free course available called Intro to Drawing, in a Learn section on top left. To get over that "paralysis" you have mentioned, you need to obtain knowledge of perspective, form manipulation, anatomy, it all compounds into ability to interpret reference or draw from imagination. On top of that understanding the forms and volumes is crucial to be able to paint. Give it a try and keep drawing!

Stuck
Artist's notes:
I find myself frequently getting stuck about here. this time Ive included the reference. I start with marking where landmarks should land, this tome the bottom of the foot, top of the head, break for the shoulders and bottom of her torso. then I try to construct the figure and paint over. Unfortunately, it’s about there that I lose confidence and cant figure out to move forward. I’d love some feedback on overall proportions and pose, but also any tips ln how to get over that paralysis.
