Today, I was partnered up with a girl in my art class, since the teacher had asked us to take turns drawing portraits of each other. I went first and felt pretty proud of how the drawing turned out. I showed it to her and she said "That's OK. I'm not good at drawing either." FML

Maybe she just doesn't realize that she's hideous

You could say that you were drawing her inner beauty, not her outer beauty. Maybe she'll get the hint.

"Also, you wouldn't recognize great art if it bit you in the ass."

#31, and say to her, "Hello, my name is Great Art." Of course, she has to take her turn drawing him. Maybe their shitty art could turn into some delightful ass-play. (Maybe shitty wasn't a good adjective in this context.)

Either she just has high expectations or you really do suck at drawing.

Do what most men have honed into a fine art. Lie, but with your pencil. Is she flat chested with a rather large nose? Not today. It's called artistic license and instead of getting you into trouble, it may get you a date.

Exactly. Puff up them breasts and remove the pimples and you make a masterpiece in her eyes.

Don't worry practice make perfect :)

To be fair, there are a lot of emotions wrapped up in drawing portraits of people, particularly those that you don't know very well but still see a lot. She could be embarrassed about being pretty, embarrassed about being ugly, embarassed about having to draw you too...I would try not to read into any comments in this context too much. If you feel you did well then good for you. :)

"Im not bad, you just look that way. Woah now this is embarising." Turn it on her OP!

When I first met my boyfriend we were paired up to draw portraits of each other as an ice-breaker on our art course. I drew him amazingly well because I wanted to impress him, he drew me as a stick woman with a horribly massive head. This didn't put me off however and we still laugh about it today :P

I wish I had your confidence in the art department

Maybe she can't accept the fact that she's ugly?
