Sunk-Cost Fallacy AKA Waterfalls (Patreon)

With very little free time available and a huge need for new public content, after some random sketching I finally made a sketch that I was very confident about.
But I found out, after some work, that despite all my effort, I am still nowhere close to capable of finishing this at the level I want.
But then it was too late to just quit and delete the file so I did my best to try to save the work, try to find a solution, almost every decision was second, nay, fifth guessed and still...
Failure.
This is horrible, but perhaps not worthless. I hope that I'll learn from this mistake and hopefully it is true that there's no such thing as "time wasted painting".
