Gramps did his best, it seems, and I’m all but certain he desperately wanted his grandkid to see his heartfelt try at it —likely knowing he’d fail in accurately representing their very soul with his sub-par but earnest spattering on canvas.
16, you say? That tracks.
Hot take: it’s actually OP that fucked this self-portrait up, and they’re so cowardly that they threw the poor bastard under the bus, instead. 🤷🏼♂️
Parents commissioned the grandad? Sounds like they were trying to raise his self-esteem.
Profile picture is missing an eyeball
She had to take one out after looking at this portrait.
Looks like grandad was painting his 18th century peasant ghost girl from his nightmares instead. Easy mistake to make honestly
Victorian-era Realism was much better than this
This is just a shitty painting
They should’ve commissioned an artist
They should have sent a poet
My dad had paid someone to draw my portrait from a graduation photo. The drawing is horribly bad. It’s also quite big and hanging on a wall at the center of the house so there’s no chance one could avoid looking at it.
It’s still very sweet though.
Emmmm, flour chicken.
These are two different pictures, though. Does nobody else see this?
Looks like slop to me.
Hard to tell but it looks like the same picture with pretty intense artifacting on the left to me.
Its the same picture but the other one is further away resulting in different artifacting.
I think that the grandad misunderstood the commission and made a self-portrait.
I wanna shop that painting into the office meme where Angela scares Dwight.
The painting looks objectively shitty, and yet, somehow you can’t help but feel that the eyes are following you
Disappointed if her username hasn’t changed to Flour.
As an amateur artist, may I suggest a few improvements
