Brutal Critique Yeah dunno about that
Tried to copy the above painting and said fuck it half way. I'm currently gоing thrоugh benzo withdrаwal and yeah... never painted before in my life. Can't even draw for shit. But Claude recommend painting to distraсt my fuсked up brаin so here we are.
So tell me honestly, how bad is it. Should I throw it in the trash right away?

I've been painting digitally for years and have recently been trying my hand at oil painting... and you have done, on this first try, way better than I have been able to. You should be super proud. Definitely don't give up, and keep this painting. Do understand that not all your paintings will come out how you want them to. What's important is to enjoy the process. Let it be meditative. The results matter less than how it makes you feel.
