My Painting Doesn't Look Like My Reference

I don't know how many other artists get this when they draw or paint humans, but (well-meaning?)people usually try to guess which celebrity they think I've depicted, or they surrender when they can't figure out who it's supposed to be. What if I told you you can paint a person without them being someone famous? 7.5 billion people in the world and it has to be someone you recognize? Ok. Anyway, this video is about not worrying about likeness when it's not important to your artwork.
