Today, I finally handed my girlfriend a portrait of her. I'm not the best drawer, but I spent weeks on it and I thought it turned out pretty good. When she looked at it, she asked what kind of dog was it. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I spent the whole night and day painting a portrait of my girlfriend. Being proud of it, I sent it to her hoping she would appreciate it. I spent hours working on that picture only for her to reply with, "That's not me, is it?" FML
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
Today, it's my girlfriend's birthday. I presented her with an oil painting of her that I'd been working on for over a month, and she started to cry. I thought it was because she liked it, until she asked if she really looks that ugly and disproportionate in real life. FML
Today, I was working on my art portfolio. I had drawn a self-portrait. When I was satisfied, I wanted to show my parents. They thought it was a drawing of a bear. FML
Today, after spending 5+ hours of my life painting a portrait of someone's cat for them, I finally finished it, perfect condition, no mistakes. I was supposed to be paid 300 bucks for it. Got 50 bucks because it was too "vibrant." FML
Today, I finished a big art project. It was a self-portrait done in acrylics. Proud of my piece, I showed my mom. After some thought her first comment was, "well, I'm either going to insult your art or your face." FML
Today, I looked over my next homework assignment for art class. It was to draw a portrait of my best friend. I can't think of anyone besides my mother. FML
Today, I discovered my 3-year-old daughter's artistic skills. She managed to draw an elaborate mural on our living room wall. The masterpiece? A stick figure family, including our dog, but instead of a tail, he has a second head. She of course used permanent markers. FML
Today, I was putting the finishing touches on my portrait of a young boy in art class. I asked my teacher if she could help correct the bad parts of my portrait. She said, "Well that would take all day and I just don't have the time." She was serious. I thought this was my best work yet. FML
Today, after nearly three weeks of hard work, I finally completed my best drawing yet, a self-portrait. I was incredibly excited to take it to class tomorrow. That is, until I came home from a walk later on, only to find my brother had drawn a stick figure on it, wanking into my face. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

Ungrateful ***** are the worst. However, I'm assuming you told her it's a portrait of her. If not, then it's not her fault.

I bet it's a female dog.

"What kind of dog is it?" "A bitch."

Unless you are an incredibly skilled artist ("drawer?" Please!), never attempt to draw your girlfriend. She'll think you are mocking her or pointing out her flaws.

Girls need to calm their ****. I would think it was a lovely gift and be flattered, no matter the amount of talent he has. Pointing out her flaws, jesus, love the skin you're in.

Unless you are a skilled artist, you shouldn't sketch people.... why didn;t you give her a gift that you may have been a bit better at?

Right. And never bake someone a birthday cake unless you're an accomplished pastry chef, and never make them a trinket/jewellery box/etc unless you're a professional carpenter. It's the thought behind a gift, not how good you are at doing something.

well unless your bracelet or cake is in the likeness of a person, you can't offend anyone if you aren't very good at baking/crafting.

You can get jewelry kits from the store and make a pretty bracelet. Unless you are trying to make a 3 tiered cake with jeweled frosting and tiny angels on it, it does not take a lot of skill to put some cookies in the oven and call it a gift. However, some people are very critical and embarrassed by badly done artwork of themselves. Unless Op is 12 and under, leave the art to people with real talent.

If you mess up a cake, it wont insult someone, it does not require a lot of skill to make a cute little bracelet, and I doubt that you are carving a very beautiful portmanteau (jewelry box) it is not that hard to slap something together, however as a non professional artist who has worked for years and years to perfect sketching peoples faces and bodies, I never showed anyone anything until the sketch could be mistaken for a black and white photo, my best guess is OP was sketching "anime" and OPs girlfriend is not into that stuff. Long story short, he is not an artist, and even though his heart was in the right place, he should have practiced as showing someone a sketch of their likeness can be very insulting to them if done poorly with no vocational training or dedicated practice.
