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

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, we were drawing self-portraits in school. I'm horrible at art, so I turned to the person next to me and stated that mine looked really ugly. He replied saying, "No, it looks exactly like you." FML
Today, in art class, our instructor called me up to the front to model for a drawing. I agreed to pose because it was nice to be called on, and I needed a self-esteem boost. He then thanked me, saying it's a great exercise for the class to draw such strange proportions. FML
Today, I took my girlfriend to a beginners’ painting class. She and everyone else was able to produce a painting significantly better than mine, and I got laughed at for my lack of skill. I’ve been painting for twenty-five years. FML
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
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 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 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, 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 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, I was paired up with a girl in my class for a project. She started crying. 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."

Then bite her 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.

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?
