Send a painting for a contest.

Again here I am, a bit absent this web because I was somehow busy at nights trying to finish the painting, finally I finished it yesterday and delivered today. The wining results will be showing on Sept. 19 (next Friday). When I went to the place there, I saw other works, 2 of them were really damn great works, damn, really good ones, I have no chance to compete with them, now I understand that I did this just to participate, not as a contest perhaps. I only have one more picture of an advance of how was I going, but I forgot to take the picture of the final result of my painting, so I’ll be taking it next Friday and thus also take pictures from the others.

I must add to this that I’m not happy with the result, I’m definitely not satisfied with my painting, one reason because I hadn’t much time or dedication, second because I’ve realized once again that I’m just a terrible amateur painter; it’s a hole world of difference from drawing and sketching with ink pens or pencils to painting, I suck at getting the exact color I wanted, I spend a lot of time mixing colors to get something I wanted, I need instruct of how using oils, dammit. Oh well, I guess I’ll return –for now- to sketching and drawing with pens.

I guess I'm constantaly very afraid of doing anything wrong, so I try to be perfectionist at many times. Thus I always end up feeling weird of how I drew or painted something... whatever. But I do appreciate your comments, this is what makes me still trying to do it well. Thanks.
