At arm's length: a brave little adventurer. Under the phone camera: a man made entirely of brush mistakes.
I am pleased with it anyway. Picked three colours, tried to keep the obvious edges tidy, and stopped before I stripped the whole thing and started again. The eyes are currently an artistic suggestion.
People who paint: do you keep your first one untouched or go back and improve it? I am torn between wanting it nicer and wanting a reminder of where I started.
Keep it. Put it next to whatever you paint after a few months. Progress is easier to see when you have not erased the starting point.
I repainted mine. No regrets. The reminder was not doing anything for me and I wanted to use the model.
Both answers are annoyingly reasonable.
Paint a second one badly enough that the first looks good. This is why nobody asks me for hobby advice.
Keeping this one for now. I can always repaint later, but I cannot un-repaint it. The artistic suggestion eyes may become his whole personality.
