Spent 12 hours on a digital painting that ended up looking like a blob

I had this whole Saturday carved out to work on a character portrait for a showcase, and after 12 straight hours of layering and blending, it just looks like a muddy mess with no definition. The colors got all wrong after the third redo and I couldn't save it. Has anyone else poured a full day into a piece that just never clicked and had to scrap it?

Saw a video saying that's just part of the process, honestly.

50 bucks says that video was made by someone who never actually did the process.
