I just spent all night (6 hours) on a painstakingly rendered charcoal portrait and only now realized that I catastrophically fucked up his proportions and it's unfixable.

be more mindful/thorough of verifying proportions next time, then. not a big deal.

It's an awful feeling, but you've learned a painful lesson and those are the ones that stick.

Well you practiced your medium, practiced shading and finishing pieces, and you learned a tough lesson of double checking things before moving onto the next steps. So a failure of an image, maybe, but not a waste of time.

Why struggle to draw something when you can just not draw it?

post it for shits and giggles. Failures are bound to happen, sometimes all you can do is laugh at yourself
