She just sounds like an AH, to be honest. Very passive aggressive. I’d just smile, say thanks, and toss it in the donate pile. She obviously doesn’t understand dysgraphia and how hard it would be for you to use this.

Side note, my neurodivergent ass would LOVE this planner. Do you mind sharing the make/model so to speak?

So, the best part about this kind of art is you can paint it all white and start over if you don’t like it!

A few ideas: Start with fewer colors. You’ve got a lot of colors, and starting with 5 or so should help pull the piece together.

Keep your colors all in the same tone. You’ve got cools and warms that are clashing (that dark brown and the oranges) and it’s messing with the flow.

Maybe layout your overall design first to give you a general idea.

Use big brushes. And even if you’re using an outline, don’t be afraid to go a little rogue and go outside the lines.

To get that built up textured look, you need tissue something g like joint compound or plaster of Paris mixed in with your paints. I don’t know ratios, sorry.

Aww! You can tell she’s gonna be a handful! Haha! So cute!

Imperfect is still perfect to me! I love cute things, and this is one! OP, you did an amazing job!!

Thank you!! I shave them. Lol! I use a facial hair trimmer-super easy! After 35+ years, I was done with plucking!

That’s just my natural lip color lol! Thanks!!
