Why should anything that’s worth doing be easy? There are lots of techniques that anyone can learn (such as shading, rules of perspective, color theory) to produce a painting in a relatively short time. But it takes effort to move beyond mediocrity. Great artists can make it look easy, but that 'ease' has, like any great skill, come through years of hard work and practice.
It's true that it takes effort to move beyond mediocrity. Great artist like Vincent Van Gogh spent years learning gow to draw portraits that are not ordinary. He said...."I spent years learning my art so that I could finish my art in just two hours." Your portrait is very powerful and speaks volume about the artist skill and talent.
