I still haven’t drawn much but this is the first one I’d consider a failure. I found good references and spent a good chunk of time sketching it out, only for me to realize the acrylic for the background immediately covered the sketches so I had to draw from memory.
Plus I then realized my sketch was much smaller than my brush. All in all, total failure. Couldn’t even figure out how to make the background interesting so I just splotched trees in there.
Still sharing it tho because that’s how you grow, right? :3

What do you lmean failure, you've finished a full painting!!

A painting finished and a lesson learned.

Casually dropping some bars

It sounds like you learnt a lot regarding acrylic paint, brush sizes and background design, id call that a win!

At least the paint is inside the frame. Not so bad !

Frame it. Put it where you can see it when you paint. Not to shame you or as a negative, but there were a lot of things learned all at once. It will take some time to take them all in. Only you know what it says, and it might take some time for you to get it all. Maybe you hate it now, but it is currently your most valuable work.

You can't learn how to stand up if you don't fail first. =)

Better that what I could do 👍keep going
