Drew portrait for girlfriend, she hated it. What should I do?
I have been drawing and painting for a few years now. I am pretty good at drawing portraits. I had a plan to paint a portrait of my beautiful girlfriend, whom I’ve been with for 1.5 years, and give it to her mother and father for Christmas. I spent days choosing the best reference photo, which I think captures her serene personality. I asked her what she thinks of the photo, and she said it looks like she is sunblind/high on the reefer or something. When I told her how I felt about it, she agreed with everything. So I began drawing it. I spent 12 hours on it so far and it’s far from complete. I spent 3 hours alone just getting proportions right, as I wanted it to be as flawless as my hands could render it. I asked many friends, some who are even artists, one who is a painting professor at the local university, and they all told me the same thing; it looks exactly like her, it’s a very beautiful drawing. I was very confident it was my best drawing ever. So the next day I bought some mahogany wood to make a panel to paint it on with oils.
That evening I talked with her, and she seemed distant. I knew something was wrong, so I asked her. She hesitated to tell me that she felt like I was losing interest in her (Because I hadn’t been talking to her all week, since I spent all my free time planning the artwork out) Since the drawing is only the master plan of the finished work, I thought I could simply make her feel better by showing her that I spend my free time drawing pretty pictures of her. I showed her, and I asked "If I was losing interest would I draw pictures of you like this?" She said, "I guess not." And then she proceeded to tell me that the proportions were wrong. She tried to point out any flaws in my drawing, and told me "You should use photoshop to see all the mistakes you made" I was so furious that I did this, and notice there weren’t any flaws. The drawing was as close you could get to perfect without tracing. I was very angry so I started swearing and I told her how there wasn’t any flaws, and I started to call her names, and we got into a huge fight, she broke up with me and told me she didn’t want to be with a ‘rude’ man… and we haven’t talked for a few days now.
I am very offended, obviously. I know it was very wrong of me to swear and call her names, and normally I don’t do this. I actually told my mother what happened, and I never tell her anything about my personal life. Well, she told me I shouldn’t have done that and some people don’t like to have their portrait drawn. However she told me I should still paint the portrait and give it to her parents. On the other hand, one of my best friends is shocked at her response and he thinks I responded appropriately.
I really don’t know what to do.
Back hand her and tell her to go back to the kitchen.

Tell her you are no artist and its the thought that counts. If she wont accept that tell her to kiss your butt.

You’re both in the wrong here. Obviously she didn’t like the picture and that’s fine, respect her wishes with that. It’s a great kind gesture but she didn’t like it. However she shouldn’t have went on about it pointing out flaws and such. YOU shouldn’t have went off on her like that. Try to talk things out with her is all I can say.

You shouldn’t have said what you did but it happened you can’t change the past.
To be honest, I think the GF was losing interest in you… It seems like this was just an excuse to get out of the relationship. One of the signs: She had to point out the flaws in the drawing you made of her.
You can still give it to her parents and apologize to the GF for what you said to her.. but that’s about all you can do. :/ Hope the Best.
