I did a painting of a girl. I love her but she doesn't know it. I can never find words when I talk to her, it's horrible. I hate myself for my weakness

Should I burn the painting as to not seem weird, or should I show her and let her know how I feel?

Any of you artsy cunts got experience with this and could help a brother out?

as the forever alone guy who never found the courage to talk to the girl I like, I will not advice you anything as I know you will find the right answer from this post.

Do you talk to the girl? Is she a friend, or somebody you only know by name? If the former, then your actions might be seen as creepy and weird, if the latter then your actions DEFINITELY will be seen as creepy and weird.

If you already have a gf you can paint her all you want (provided that you're competent). Chicks find that hot apparently.

Think of it this way: imagine a girl who's kinda weird and not that attractive secretly made a giant photo collage consisting of photos of you. Some of these photos you recognize and some look like they were from photos taken secretly. She then presents this thing to you out of nowhere and says that she's into you. Would you be flattered and suddenly be interested in dating her, or would you find that creepy?

I should add that if she's a friend, and you present the painting as just a simple study, and you've done dozens of studies off other friends photos in the past, then she might find it cool (assuming you're competent). DON'T go around professing love out of nowhere, especially through something that can look creepy and obsessive.

A friend of mine made a collage for a girl.
God damn, it was the creepiest fucking thing.

She thought so too, and he almost killed himself over it.

I think doing a painting of someone is a very dear thing, you put in the effort, you see the details in their face, its a very personal and nice thing, I would say you give it to her, whats the worst thing that can happen?

collages are retarded, not the same as a painting, theres more of a creepy feel about doing a college of someone.

she could be creeped out as fuck and show it to everyone she knows as evidence that OP is severely autistic and has zero social skills.

>> No.2014561

>>2014547
Don't forget that since you probably paint a lot you'd have a different view on a painting as a gift than the general public. Plus, OP is planning on professing his love with said painting. Wouldn't the normal thing be to just ask her out on a date so that both can see if there's any chemistry?

Imagine being on the receiving end of such a painting. Imagine that it also isn't great, and came literally out of nowhere from your perspective. Would you appreciate that gesture and start dating OP?

I think if the painting is bad to mediocre, it would come off as super fucking creepy.

However if it's really good (or even pretty damn good) then it might be endearing.

Post picture and let /ic/ decide.

>as I know you will find the right answer from this post.

implying you could even know the right answer. What business do you have giving advice on something you have no experience with?

I suspect, if you do show her the painting OP, it will be a moment you remember with a cringe until the end of your days. Find a way to talk to her that doesn't make you seem like you might someday store her organs in a freezer.

Dude that's super fucking cringy. If your going to reveal your feelings, just tell her how you feel and if you end up getting with her, show her the painting like a year or more later as a joke. She will laugh and think it's super cute.

If you are still too scared you can just give it to her and not a make a big deal about it, like 'oh look this is something I did last night while learning how to draw people'. Try to make it as plutonic as possible.

The point is not to give it to her like its this romantic thing and with you opening up to her

Showing her you made a painting even though you are not even dating will make her pussy so dry she can become a lesbian.

>It took me 3 hours to finish the shading on your upper lip.

Terrible, cringe-inducing idea to make a painting of your one-itis and show it to her.

If you had any sense you'd casually mention that you draw, she'll most liekly ask you to draw her. Who knows you might even be able to talk her into posing nude.
