- Today we're going to chat a bit about art or artist related pet peeves and/or common irritants. This can be about art supplies, social media, how artists treat each other in the community, things that happen on the job...anything really!
Please know that this video came from a good place and wasn't intended to hurt or really upset anyone. lol I know that pet peeves or annoying things can get the conversation pretty heated but...hopefully we can all be nice to one another. There is so much negativity in the world, let's rise above it and have a fun conversation instead. ;)
PS, I know my pet peeve is bizarre. I:B
Side note, I love how the thumbnail looks. SHE'S SO HAPPY AND CUTE!

"wow you're so good at drawing I can't even draw *inhale* STICK FIGURES" what do you say to that???
well practice you lazy A**s XD
Me: can u write?
Them: yes
Me: can you write an “o” and an “I”?
Them: yes
Me: then I don’t know how u struggle with stick figures
I tend to say “well it’s probably because you haven’t been practicing” and if they say “but I have!!1!1!”Then I know their lying
Personally this does not bother me the one thing that bothers me wen I'm drawing with people they end up shaking the table
"Aw that sucks :D"
When I'm drawing at a table with other people and everyone keeps shaking the table
Or when you are in a car and it shakes when you are sketching. ARGHHHH!!!!!!!!
I hate when that happens, my mom always shakes the table and it always messes up my art.
Yes
LOL I've learned to deal with the shaky tables...now what is troublesome for me... I feel like I upgraded or something...lol... is when people are constantly hitting my arm as they walk by. And half the time I'm doing lineart with ink so I'm like. D: .....
LemiaCrescent that must be so bad I don’t draw in ink as much because my sister steal my pens so I don’t know how that feels
Every artist's biggest bet peeve: "Whoa, that's so good! You should draw me!"
Serina Sanchez or PLeAse tEaCh me tO DrAw
Serina Sanchez ughhhh I hate it
Victory Amazing hate it more than trump
"Draw my cat!" 😒
lisa marie7 lol no
When I'm drawing with others around me and they keep asking "what is that?" "It doesn't look like it" basically judging my UNFINISHED art work
People who see the construction stage and wonder why you didn't just draw it how it is supposed to look from the beginning
That’s so annoying, yeeees. Of course this doesn’t look anything like it’s supposed to yet! What, did you think I could just make a carbon copy of the image in my head with the snap of my fingers!?
Someone asked me where the shoe laces were once when I wasn’t done lining, and they were another artist.
@@elzawa3413 someone once ruined my drawing one time because I "forgot" to add a detail that they didn't realise I had drawn elsewhere It was more of a doodle than anything, but it's still the principle of the thing.
Aldo Ink ye it’s like “wow is that a house? Why’s it got scaffolding everywhere? wth ?!”
My biggest art pet peeve is when I accidentally crumple the paper when I'm erasing 😭 It's honestly the worst lol
I agree
Same
:,)
Ikr
Ajsbbsvdvdbd omg 😢 i feel you, and it makes me sad for that ex-perfetly-flat paper sheet
For me personally, one of the most offensive things is when someone thinks that because they don't personally like the subject of your art, that you are obligated to stop drawing it so they don't have to "keep seeing it everywhere." Or they say you're too talented for that "stupid" subject, and to draw something that they like. Basically anyone who has got the gall to think that they can directly tell someone else what to draw and what not to based THEIR personal tastes. Like, seriously, who the hell do you think you are? The world doesn't revolve around your personal likes and dislikes.
Same the "stupid" thing I'm too talented for is manga. (Mind you this comes from my family and none of them really don't know about art.)
Serina Sanchez ughhh I'm to good for cartoon (anime & manga) like I can draw what I want
@@huangrenjun9408 that what I'm trying to tell them, but in a sweet way since I might get smacked talked by them. (They're all adults)
Orlando Reyes ohhhh I never say it to them im to shy to and just take it as a way of them saying I'm good
@@huangrenjun9408 You're so smart. I just wait for them to notice I feel uncomfortable so they'll leave me alone, and then feel bad about what I told them. Too bad that a few weeks ago in a family reunion my uncle took my sketch book and started passing it around to EVERYONE in the room. It was so embarrassing! And then started bugging me about how I'm wasting my talent, and saying I'm a nerd.
My pet peeve is when I critique my artwork in someone else's presence like "I need to work on my anatomy drawing skills, I'm just not getting the arms right" (You know, not putting myself down, but actually analysing the work) and then they say something along the lines of "I don't know what you are complaining about, I couldn't even draw a stick figure!"
Gets me every time. Ugh.
same like i say that because i genuinely want to improve my skills and the other person is just like nah i could never do what you just drew
@@mikabrandhofer2511 exactly!
Yeah exactly! Nothing wrong with wanting to improve
Hahaha it's like everyone in the world collectively decided to use the stick figure line and didn't tell the artists.
Like they assume that because you want to improve your down on yourself, which almost comes across as an insult to the work like they think it's worth being down about. However, it's just a poor choice of words. Especially the younger someone is the less practice they have with choosing words well.
someone: *sees MY sketchbook with MY name BLATANTLY displayed upon the cover of it*
"omggg, did YOU draw that stuff??"
😒
I HATE people who ask that.
My pet peeve is when people think that art is purely a talent when in reality it's years and years of practice that goes into it. Like when they say "I could never make that." yes you could but you just don't want to put any work in.
Or when (usually younger) artists comment on pictures or videos of other artists complaining about how their art will never be as good as the picture/video but they are not doing anything to improve their art, they just complain about it.
fulminata oh I got people like this in my school i always ended up drawing for them and hardly finished my project it's quite annoying
Ahh yes or when people just can't compliment others without bringing themselves down like WHAT AM I SUPPOSED TO SAY TO THAT?? thank you for thinking you're art is absolute shit and you could nEvEr draw like that?
I hate it when people say that my art isn't real art or that im not an artist because i draw sceneries and not people
idk what to put has my name ohh that's not true
That's the dumbest thing ever. Art can be so many things and I can assure you that you are an artist and you should keep up drawing what you like.
They've obviously never appreciated Monet then! You make art of whatever you like and remember everyone's different in terms of what they like. I really enjoy scenery :)
Sounds like they need to go to literally any museum. You are an artist. Just because you’re not their ideal doesn’t make you anything less.
Wow that's the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Why would someone say that? Most artists would I've to be able to draw more scenery, or maybe just me. Keep it up, if you're good enough you could probably get it into a museum.
when someone expects fanart to look EXACTLY like the official character, i have a friend that thinks this and it's so infuriating. if i show her fanart of a character wearing different clothes she'll be like "why are they wearing that they're not meant to wear those" or "why did they draw the hair like that? it's meant to look like this" etc. the worse thing about that she's an artist as well and draws a bunch of fanart which doesn't look 100% like the character so you'd think she'd get that fanart doesn't have to have the exact same colours, clothes, art style etc.
Oh my gosh yes! As of recently, I actually really love finding characters being drawn in a different way than they are in canon and I get slightly annoyed when someone complains about how they don't even look like that canonly
i agree about the 'youre so lucky' phrase, it basically undermines the hard work, time, effort and money you put into acquiring whatever it is youre 'lucky' to have
Dominique DMF Fine Art i hate stuff like this
Imagine telling an engineer or surgeon: "oh you're so lucky"
Yeah! It's why I also dislike the 'you are so blessed' phrase. The same thing. If I work my ass off to get something, I'm not that lucky or blessed, just working hard.
You explained it perfectly.
You ARE lucky, there's a lot of people that want what u have but can't get, I don't see why you're fussing
"I can't draw at all" almost everyone.
"How often do you draw?" Me.
"I've never drawn"
😐😑
Probably my biggest, and yes I'm one of /those/ people, is the word "talent". I'm just tired of an artist's skill being undervalued, due to people believing someone is naturally born with these abilities. I can understand and appreciate the thought behind the sentiment, don't get me wrong, but I don't think people understand what that word does/says. It causes so many problems for artists to think that this skill is 'magic' or 'special'. It's why so many complain about us charging money vs "real jobs". It erases our efforts and makes art jobs out to be a hobby of passion only, rather than something to be taken seriously. It's why so many people don't pursue or continue to pursue art, thinking they don't have that 'magic' that others 'naturally' do. It's similar to your pet peeve on 'luck'. I'm just looking forward to the day when "skill" becomes the choice word. (I do love the painting btw :))
The way I view the word talented, is similar to skill actually. Imho saying that someone is talented at their job isn't THAT much different than saying someone is skilled at their job.
@@tinxybee9592 There are definitely people like you out there, which is why I said I'm one of /those/ people who view it differently. The biggest reason is just from personal experience. Every interaction I've had with that word has only ever had that implication, spare maybe a handful of times at most. Even if you look up the definition of 'talent', one of it's meanings is "the natural endowments of a person". They are two different words for a reason, with two different meanings. Some people might USE them the same, but that doesn't mean they necessarily are.
sambeawesome I believe people who are born with "skill/talent" have just been doing art for very long and draw quite a bit or are just quick learners
sambeawesome I feel like the art world is kind of poisonous not because of what your doing but everyone’s view on that. I heard on a different channel that half of the people she went to art college on the first year dropped out, I think it was because how seriously you need to take art to make it your job because of how much people are being used who do it as their job.
((Okay, reread this while slightly more awake, haha.)) I'm not 100% sure on the correlation between dropping out of art school and this issue of talent vs skill. There are a lot of professions where people drop out of due to the difficulties of the school, like doctors, programmers, etc. There might be some affiliation of the concept, but I don't think it's entirely related.
this is for digital art but when you finally do some clean lineart and you realise you did it on the sketch layer
Do not speak of that situation
Thé pain we all expérience
Ikr, all the hard work is destroyed!
OOF
Oh god no
When your non-artist friends/acquaintances say after looking at your art..."You have too much time on your hands!"
I cannot stress enough how many of my family members say to me when I’m drawing: “Did you trace that?” Or “Did you get an image from online?”.
NO Karen, I did not copy or trace an image from online, the most I did was use a reference. It’s like they think I can’t do anything original from my head.
Another thing that ticks me off is when I’m trying to explain a story or a simple character and their design to a family member, and they just ignore me or don’t listen. But when something is important to them they feel obligated to tell me about it. It makes me feel like my interest are unimportant and sometimes makes me not enjoy art.
Big oof. But please keep going :)
WitchPotion I’m sorry. That sucks. But I can tell you this, if you’re so talented they can’t believe it that’s impressive. I can’t imagine the kind of work you put into that. I hope you keep going.
Maybe try finding a few art friends? I know it sucks family doesn’t wanna listen, but there’s probably some poor, lonely smuck with a tablet that would love to hear you ramble about character design. Eventually they’ll figure out how good you are, but right now I hope you can find some more joy in it.
Avalon Unmuzzled Aw, thanks :) I’m heading to an art school later this month so maybe I’ll find friends there :)
WitchPotion that’s super cool! 💚💚💚
My mum always says you couldn't draw that even when she watches me draw
I was once told I was copying another girl's art because we had both been sketching, my art piece looked nothing like her style.... I think that was one of the most annoying things that has ever happened to me. Another thing that REALLY bothers me is when someone takes my art supplies without asking, and when I ask for them back they say "relax I know what I'm doing!"
When people ask me "did you draw that?"
Or when they say "I wish I could draw" or "I wish I had talent" or "I can't even draw a stickman". My answer is always one of these: "anyone can learn to draw" or "you just need to practice - remember, I've been drawing for years". Most of them wave it away and say that they can't be bothered for all that... But artistic talent doesn't happen overnight! Even if you have raw talent you still have lots of room to improve.
Oh and another thing "your old stuff is still better than what I can do" No! please join me in verbally destroying my old art! It will be fun I swear!
And finally when people compare my characters to other characters. It will always make me feel like they're calling my character unoriginal, even though they're usually not. But I can't help but feel that way.
I know none of these comments are meant to offend. They're all innocent enough, but they just annoy me to no end!
This ^^^^^
YES!!! I hate that so much. Hear it all the time. I usually answer "I stopped drawing stickfigures when I was five, because then I realised people had flesh on their bodies". Doesn't mean I could draw REALISTIC looking people at that age. And yeeeah, I guess I have a bit of talent, but most of my actual improvement in art comes from hard work and passion. If drawing is not your thing, then fine, don't draw! But if it's something you'd like to get better at, a lot can be done with practise.
Also, I hate when people comment things like "it looks just like a photo!" or "is that a drawing?? I thought it was a filter or something!" on my drawings. Like, they're sooort of realistic-ish looking, but YOU. CAN. SEE. THAT. THEY. ARE. DRAWINGS.
And yesss, lol, please join me in verbally destroying my old art! It IS fun! Heck, you can even roast my current art if it's funny enough.
I don't actually mind people comparing my characters to others, or my art to other artists (well... depends on who it is). I love when people have associations to my art. Several people have compared my art to Swedish artists like Carl Larsson or Elsa Beskow, and I'm like heck yes, wow, thank you, their artworks are goals! I wanna be that good too (and I'm actually gonna practise until I am ;) )
amen! they wants the "talent" but refuse to put in the time or effort, perfect example of people not taking art seriously
"DiD You DrAw ThAt?" They ask while I am literally drawing on the piece they are talking about .-.
Yeah. I also hate when they ask "did you draw that?" When I am still currently drawing it lol
My biggest art pet peeves are people who stare at what I'm drawing and people who think digital art isn't "real art".
I haven't ventured in to digital art yet, I want to soon, but I hear people say "it's cheating" .. it's absolutely not, it minimizes a ton of mess! Lol
Panda Curry my stance is if you’re doing something creative (REGARDLESS OF MEDIUM) it’s a form of art PERIOD
I actually think digital art is a lot harder to grasp compared to traditional art. The learning curve for me at least was really high. Both have their charms though, but for me the digital medium just opened up a lot of possibilities I couldn't achieve with traditional mediums.
@@beniyuri2319 I don't disagree but like what? Textures? Or that you may not have access to lots of different mediums but can get similar effects digitally?
@@lisa-sz8jj For me it's mostly the post-processing stuff of digital medium. So stuff like lighting, gradient maps etc, allow me to create multiple variations of the same artwork which has a completely different mood. It's really cool because I get to experiment with different looks and finishes as I draw!
“Did you REALLY draw that?”
No. I just sat here for an hour with a pencil in my hand staring at the paper until a drawing appeared.
My biggest pet peeve are people who expect you to make commision art for free. These people are typically not artists themselves and do not know how much time and effort it takes to finish a painting/drawing (however, not knowing doesn't excuse them, especially if they get rude about it).
My art pet peeve is when people forget what art is all about. It's not about anatomy or hard facts, it's not made of only rules and there are no restrictions to what you can do. Art is about expressing yourself, not about how to draw a proportional arm. If you want to draw legs that are 25 km in length - do that. Don't like noses? Don't draw them. Want to make your character bend in impossible ways? Go for it!
I don't get people's obsession with anatomy, proportions and hard rules. "B-but, but, I've heard that you have to learn rules before you break them!!1!" There shouldn't be rules for expressing yourself. Yes, you can get tips or critique if you want it, but the point of art isn't to compete in academical skills, god darn it. It pisses me off to see that mentality everywhere.
Do what you want with art. Draw huge necks. Shade with black. Break every bone in the body. Don't put yourself in a cage of rules, please.
However if you find you are struggling with finding a style that you like
Learn the basic rules of the thing you want to stylize. It doesnt mean you need to follow those rules, its just a good way to familiarize yourself with the subject. Textures, movement, shape and form. All that lovely jazz.
But yea, if Picasso could make a fair amount of money with his broken abstract art that screams raw emotion, nothing is stopping you from doing it yourself.
Honestly in art, rules are more like guidelines.
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 yeah, exactly! Fundamentals should be a helping hand to you, not a cage.
@@Nocmora I just remembered another pet peeve of mine.
Artists who think theyre better than other artists because they draw realism. Usually the worst offenders of trying to cage you up in rules too.
Oh and your realism is never good enough for them, unless its near photo-realism. So you wont ever win.
@@elvingearmasterirma7241 oh god, yes, those people are just the worst :/
@@Nocmora Its even worse because they mostly go for newer, often time younger, artists and leave a very bad impression of what our community is like.
Even art thieves are more pleasant sometimes, and I have had to deal with art thieves personally before.
" You drew it 2 years ago, come ooon~ I just wanna use it for a wallpaper/picture/etc "
Probably really common, but it's just the way they ask it.
when someone demands to look at your drawing, whether it's strangers or family i hate when people do this.
no one is entitled to *my* artwork or the viewing of *my* artwork. it's annoying and it should stop
con otto The question, “Ooh, can I see your sketchbook!?” Most particularly _while I’m drawing something in my sketchbook._ It’s really irritating. I’m not going to stop drawing in my sketchbook just so you can look at what else is in it
My dad does this whenever there's visitors (usually relatives). He's like "show them your pictures" and its annoying. I get that he's trying to be supportive (in his perspective) but its embarrassing. I dont draw nsfw or anything, mostly just portraits but still. He also does it when im not even drawing or have my supplies out.
I hate it when people think that being good at drawing is something you're born with
Somebody: wow, your drawings are so good! I wish I could draw like you!
Me: thanks, if you start drawing you could be as good or even better!
Somebody: No I won't, I wasn't born with talent unlike you!
I know that they're trying to be nice and all but it sounds like they think I was just lucky with genes and didn't have to work for what I can do now... which is also funny since none of my family members are artistic :/
x X x I'm the same me and my brother are really good drawers and the rest of my family aren't (as far as I'm aware) and they always say "I don't know where you got your skills from" hmmmmm maybe from practice
The "I can't even draw stick figures" bugs me
While being good at drawing isn't something your born with but certain people are born with certain qualities that make them improve faster or progedued in that field
I had a friend that was convinced that she was born with the ability to draw, which really bugged me because she bragged about it most of the time we had an art class.
Folks trying to tell me what to do with my art, be it design products or take on a project. People expect you to turn it into a profitable skill.
Or when folks wanna collab but really expect you to do 80% of the work(like consultation, promotion, or writing plus the artwork), or when collaborators shoot down designs and provide basic designs as visual references and expect you to duplicate it.
Also interrupting artists when their working is a no no.
Omg I could go on forever.
My pet peeve is when someone is like"Woah! Awesome art! Draw me! They expect you to do it for free and the you do it and are like "Where's my money" and they are like "Oh I thought you did it for free" and then is either like "Ok keep your stupid drawing" or just manipulates you to give it to them for free or minimum payment.😑
my biggest pet peeve: when people give you unsolicited opinions on your art - like when people see your sketch book and flip through it (often without asking) and tell you how you could do things better/how your sketches aren't all perfect artworks - like, no - I'm drawing/painting because its fun, if I want advice I'd ask ya know >_> (also this often comes from people who have never even tried drawing/painting - which somehow makes it even worse :( )
I do agree that criticizing a sketch seems a bit pointless (at least if it's just a quick sketch you made to pass the time) and looking through a sketchbook without asking is just a shitty thing to do.
But just because you're painting for fun doesn't necessarily mean you don't want to improve and one of the most efficient ways to improve is to get criticism. Of course you don't have to want to improve but people might not know that so they try to help you by criticizing your artwork. If you don't want that you can just tell them.
While another artists opinion obviously is more valuable (at least in most cases) since they can give you a more specific feedback and maybe even tips on how to improve I don't think the criticism of non-artists should just be ignored. They might not be able to go into detail but they usually are still able to tell if something looks pleasant/unpleasant or righ/wrong.
another pet peeve: art tutorials that really don't tell you anything. Like sometimes they're like "draw the bangs and then the rest of the hair" like thanks, you told me what to draw u didnt tell me how to draw,,
this doesn't rlly mean those step by step things on dragonart,, those r annoying too tho lmao
also !! there's sometimes like when tutorials are really just progress shots of a drawing. You can learn a LOT from progress shots! And I think genuinely sometimes they're really helpful- like sometimes they'll add a blurb like "here I established basic lights and dark, keeping in mind my light source is on the right" but the images on their own isn't always helpful,,
This isn't necessarily art related, but when people say "I can't do that" without even trying, or just giving up that easily in general. The worst is when they're stubborn about it.
When I'm drawing, and I've drawn the general shapes, and someone tries to critique me on them- "the neck is so long" *The neck is literally a line* "why is the arm bending like that?" *the arm is a line*
Like ill take critique, i love it. but just like, wait until I've made like at least the sketch.
"I can show you some of my drawings if you want"
"Sure!"
*shows drawing*
"Wow did you draw that?!"
... "No."
My art related pet peeve is when people ask to share my art supplies and then (not knowing how to use them properly) ruin them
My every day pet peeve is when people try to touch me (because they think that’s how you act friendly towards someone) without asking first because I HATE being touched by anyone... I also hate chewing / lip smacking sounds and ANY sound made by kids (those are as triggering to me as nails on a chalkboard.... it’s a disability called Misophonia)
The first one, I definitely relate to. This is why I tell them to draw within my vicinity or else I will commit mass genocide. I told them that specifically. I only trust he guys in my class with my stuff because they actually return it, except for a few. The girls, they share it all the way to the next class like there's no tomorrow.
When you can't get the eyes to be symmetrical! Sheesh makes me hate working traditionally, knowing that if it was digital I could just flip one eye after failing enough times.
Schneeregen _ don't worry nothing is perfect
I secretly only draw myself for this reason. If the eyes are symmetrical then it’s glamorization. If they’re wonky then that’s just how my eyes are so the drawring is accurate to reality. 😉
Mine is either:
“Wow! You’re so good at drawing! cAn yOU dRaW mE?”
Or
“I can’t draw, I can only do stick figures”
JUSY DO IT!! JUST PICK UP A PENCIL AND START DRAWING!!! I wasn’t born with the ability to draw, I just started and now I am where I am today because I kept going. Most people aren’t born with the natural gift of art
U can't just "do it" that shit takes years to learn and not everyone can do it💀
My biggest pet peeve is when someone sees a commission I did for someone and they ask for pricing then once I give them the pricing they scoff at my REASONABLE PRICING.
"Oh my gosh! Did you draw that?"
*No I didn't, someone just dropped their drawing and I just happen to have a pencil in my hand- YES I DID. GOD*
A kinda not art but art related pet peeve of mine is when you get a darker ink stain on another marker that isn't that color at all XD like a yellow marker that now has a dark blue smudge on half it's nib ;-; I also hate hearing the "you're so lucky" phrase because it feels kinda like your guilt tripping the person your trying to praise, and I'm just not about all that self hate lol yes art is kinda luck based but its mainly effort based. At least, in my opinion XD
I love the people who understand that artist are like, y’know, people, and so they compliment them if they feel like it, and then they just move on.
When you're erasing and your paper suddenly wrinkles, makes me so angry.
When ppl compare your art to someone else's. Or when you can't find a sharpener.
What really sets me off is the youtube ad that starts with "Are you tired of spending your rent on alcohol markers?" It's INCREDIBLY insulting to joke about artists being fanatically irresponsible in order to get "nice" art supplies 😒 It's like you said, we WORK HARD to pay for our gear!
It bothers me in art classes when the other students don’t know how to clean up and all the supplies are a disaster
NatCatKitty ohhhh Ik how u feel
Lucky Paola Studios yeah that’s what it was like in my classes too also everyone tried to get the paint pallet with the least paint stuck on it
Lucky Paola Studios yeah the teachers in my school would yell at us for not washing things and I’m like I DID wash mine but the people who don’t ruin it for everyone 😭
I'm an artist, and I get annoyed when people leave paintbrushes in dirty paint water for hours and hours. Mostly I notice this at paint and wine classes, but it really bothers me that the class does not also teach "beginners" to clean their brushes and take care of them.
+randomspontanium OMG that makes my skin crawl! So freaked out just thinking about that... *Flashbacks of high school art room* T_T
I take art in high school and we have to use the same art supplies as the middle school classes where art is a obligatory subject and all the art supplies (especially the paint brushes) are BOTCHED
Me: Im going to draw a dog
Me: *draws one line*
Someone: THAT DOESNT LOOK LIKE A DOG???!!????
Even better, when I start drawing and a bunch of people watch and when I finish they go "WOW DID YOU DRAW THAT?!" Like did the Men in Black come and wipe your memory??
when people say "oh man i *wIsH* i could draw... You're *so* good at drawing, i wish i could draw like you..." and making me feel bad. OR when the art teacher in my school literally *ruins* our drawings.
I hate it when I sharpen a pencil and the lead breaks....and then continues to break as I continue to try to sharpen it. The pencil usually gets snapped in half after that.
I hate it too, it's the reason I use mechanical pencils.
I usually end up with wooden pencils for Actual classwork then mechanical pencils for art though other times I see as fully sharpened pencil just lying on the tables
I hate it when that ad comes up asking me if I want to learn how to draw *AMAZEEN ORT*
LaurenTiare 😂😂😂🤣🤣
some art pet peeves of mine are drawing in public, or when people expect me to be able to draw literally anything backgrounds,realism, and diagrams for science class.....
I totally get you with the "YOu´re so lucky" sentence. It can get really irritating!
Some don´t mean it in a bad way, but some just add such an undertone, that you can´t ignore it. It´s terrible!
But you know, your drawing turned out so amazing! Love the hair :)
When I'm all set up for a drawing/painting and somebody calls my name for something, it annoys me a lot like a LOT
Kind of similar to yours, my biggest art/artist pet peeve would be the phrase "I wish I was as talented as you!". I've worked my butt off to get to where I am and I still have so far to go. You can do exactly the same. Dont undermine my efforts or your ability like that.
“Wow did you draw that!?” *as you’re drawing it*
I hate when I’m drawing and someone asks “who are you drawing” idk why but that makes me so mad
When people say “woah I wish I could draw”
But don’t understand a lot of people who draw good have been drawing for years.
My art pet peeve.
Others: Wow! You're art is great! You should do that as your job!
Me: Would you buy it? For a price that would actually make it possible for me to live from art?
Ohters: Hell no! Too expensive!
Someone once told me I stole their character because both theirs and mine were hellhounds.
@Brandon the Boneless Pizza This is beautiful.
Hey Lemi! 💖 My artist pet peeve is when someone says they can't draw a stick figure. My personal pet peeve is seeing people not pushing in their chairs after use. 😅
ValeskaNordica lol same
Same! You have no idea how many classmates I have that wouldn't push in their and what made it worse was the teacher finally decided she has enough and nobody was allowed to leave until all the chairs were pushed in or out up
When I’m drawing and people look at what I’m Drawing
When my Warriors character looks like an alien to other people when I open up and show them
When we do arts and crafts in art and I’m horrible at it yet Im better at sketching
When art looks bad
AHEM, correction.
MY art looks bad.
And that’s...
Every.
Single.
Time.
My art pet peeve is unwanted (constructive) criticism. Sure you're putting your art out there and you have to expect criticism, but if you're not asking for it and your art is not hurting anyone, why do people feel so compelled to criticize your art anyway.
Well, I personally find it fun to look at a painting/drawing and analyze what the artist did well and where they could improve and since I'm already looking for that stuff in an artwork I often think it doesn't hurt to tell the artist what I found out.
Generally people criticize your art to help you, not to harm you. After working on an artwork for hours it's often hard to see every flaw so other people opinion can be quite helpful.
Of course you didn't specifically ask for the criticism but I'm guessing you don't say you don't want criticism, either so people will just do what they think is right.
My point is, criticism can be extremely helpful and if you really don't like it you could try to explain to people that you prefer to find the flaws in your art on your own and ask them to not criticize it.
I personally think you should try opening up to criticism, especially since compliments seem pretty ingeniuine if you forbid it, but of course you're free to do whatever you want.
(Sorry that this comment got so long)
Ekkrugg You’re absolutely right that criticism can be immensely helpful and I’d argue even necessary for improvement. However, personally, if I want my work critiqued, I’ll go to people that I know might know better than me, or I ask publicly for critique. But I don’t aim to improve myself constantly. Art is not always about improvement to everyone, it might just be for fun.
The point I’m making is not that constructive criticism doesn’t help, but rather that it’s sometimes just not asked for and that it can actually discourage you.
If I drew a piece, for fun, for myself, and someone, I probably don’t know, comments on it what I did wrong and how I should improve next time, sure that might actually help me improve, but it also devalues the work at hand. Just from an emotional stand point.
And if you’re not a professional artist, just doing it for fun or relaxation, why does someone else need to insert their negative, although well intentioned, opinion into that space.
In addition to that you could argue that people critiquing you because they think you need to be helped, as you said, is rather condescending. I, for one, assume that everyone is smart enough to either seek out help if they need it, or look for other ways to improve, if that’s what they mean to do.
@@YucaTMI I guess you're right, not everyone wants to improve all the time and even constructive criticism can be discouraging. Since I always want to improve because it's one of the things that make art fun for me I didn't really consider that.
I disagree that giving constructive criticism without the artist asking is condescending, though. I mostly don't ask people for criticism because I think if they want to give their feedback they'll do it but by asking them for it I feel like I'd force them to do it and maybe even look closer at the artwork than they intended to do. I guess that attitude differs from person to person.
I guess in the future I'll just ask the people posting their art whether they wanted me to give them some criticism or not. That way they don't have to specifically ask for it (in case they are as weird as I am) but they don't have to indure criticism they might not even want to.
(I hope the comment makes sense, I'm a bit tired)
I hate when ppl compliment my art by putting themselves down. For example, "Oh you're so good! I wish I could do that, I suck at drawing I try so hard but I'll never reach your skill!" It's so uncomfy!
I don’t know if this is a pet peeve but a hate when people are like “oh your drawing is off” and decides to fix it themselves.i always change it a bit but sometimes it doesn’t look right with the rest of the piece.
Being told by a teacher, “your almost and adult, you should know how this all works” while not 5 minutes later they treat you like ur a child.
Something that annoys me is when my classmates are asking me, the opposite of unprofessional, how to draw or how to draw a certain thing. There are thousands of videos about that, so I just offer one of those to them.
And when your family asks you to draw you something you don't know how to draw oop
I get that when im in art class.this girl shoved her art book on my desk and said teach me how to draw that. 5 times. xd
one of my biggest pet peeves is when i go to a practice aid with an art teacher at a school, and i see them treating the highschool and middleschoolers like none of them are above a 2nd grade level of art. Meanwhile, I know for a fact that a good portion of those kids can draw at least some decent anime. and anime is art.
My greatest art pet peeve is when I AM being judgemental on other peoples work, like if they're using a certain medium wrong, proportions are off etc.
I adored the painting you were working on during this video. Every stroke seemed to make it come to life more. Watching you paint makes me want to up my art skills.
When you put on line that you are doing free art requests because you are bored and don't know what to draw and for weeks you don't get a single message. Then when you are busy and want to draw something, you take it down and the next day everyone expects you to draw them for free.
I have a few actually-
1. When my family members see me drawing and immediately ask to see it. It makes me really uncomfortable
2. When my dad comes up to me and just watches me draw. He’s a tattoo artist and will openly tell me everything I’m doing wrong
“Can you draw a skull?”
“No dad,I don’t draw that kind of stuff...”
The he steals my fucking pencil and draws a skull right over what I was drawing-
3. When my old art friends would tell others to ask me for drawings
4. When some other art friends would tell me that my art was so much better than theirs when I only draw cartoon style art while they can draw much better then me in other ways.
5. When I’m drawing on a table and my table mate shakes it or they try to scare me,it messes me up
6. B u m p y r o a d s
I think thats all of it.
This hasn't happened so much since I was a teen, but it always used to irritate me to no end when I'd show someone my art and they'd assume immediately that I'd traced it. I was told by so many adults to take it as a compliment but it always felt insulting that they didn't believe I could actually have the tallent.
in addition to, any instance of people attributing my talent to luck instead of the time and effort I put in to practice and learn.
on the pet peeve side of thing, it bugs me when people ask me if I'm self taught. By most people's definitions, I am, but the phrase has never felt right to me when I relied so much early on from tutorials and advice? I didn't figure it out on my own from scratch, it's just that my guidence wasn't in a classroom.
The thing that really irritates me when I'm transferring one of my traditional drawings into digital is when someone is watching me and is constantly hovering over my shoulder or staring at me while drawing.
i was going to count "siblings watching my screen as I draw" as one of my pet peeves since I tend to be really self-conscious of art that's a work-in-progress but lately they've been really kind and supportive so now I don't know how to feel ^^;
Like with my grades in school, it's the whole "that's because you're talented/smart". No, it's because I'm literally devoting hours into something and working out ways for it to turn out the best I could. The whole talent/smart thing annoys me because it erases the effort I and millions of others put into stuff on the daily. At least is what it feels.
This probably won’t matter, but my art pet peeve would have to be people stealing your sketchbook from your desk or bag while not looking. The worse time this had happened was during I think the 7th grade when I had gotten a new sketchbook, which was just a purple lined notebook. During one of my classes I was looking through my backpack for my sketchbook when I realized it was just GONE. I knew I had put it in my bag immediately before I went this class, so I was certain that it wasn’t in my last class but I went back to look either way. While I was looking around for it, I saw in the class trash can one of my drawings crumpled up, along with a few underneath it. Long story short, I found my ripped up sketchbook cover and drawings in the trash that I worked on and sort of broke down from it since I really liked the art I had made. Turns out one of my classmates and sort of friend, who I’ll call MI, had taken my sketchbook either during or before class and threw it away. Anyway, besides this everything you mentioned in the video was super accurate. Love your videos, keep up the good work 😊
Mine is "I wish I could draw, I can't even draw a stick figure." I know the feeling but at the same time, I've had to work and practice for so long to get what skill I do have.
One of my pet peeves is when my classmates question what I'm drawing, why I'm drawing what I'm drawing and just stand there and watch me for a period of time, even tho they don't know ANYTHING about art
The watermark was definitely something I had a problem with, mostly personally. I went back and forth debating on whether to use watermarks or not, and I did for a little, but eventually gave up because people can and do unfortunately edit them out. So, I've just started trying to hide my signature in my art. I don't always do it, but I like to try and sneak it in there. One of my pet peeves though, especially when doing more traditional work in pencil or charcoal is when people say "ooh, I like that part" and instead of pointing to the part of the picture they're talking about, they just go right in and end up smudging the spot. That used to happen to me a lot. I hated that. That and when people know you as the art person and whenever you're drawing and think something doesn't look right and you know it's off, people always try to tell you it looks fine and say nothing's wrong with it when you're about to redo a whole section. I know it's not meant to be mean and I know they don't see what I see as the person working on the picture, but it's like an unintentional back seat artist telling you what not to do
When young artists/new artists think that the more expensive art supplies they have the better they’ll be when in actuality the best supplies imo for a beginner is learning the basics with pencil and paper, then moving onto an opaque or transparent medium for learning color.
when ppl say they "can barely draw a stick figure" I always say "well most drawings are just really complicated stick figures!" or "I cant even draw a straight line," I say, "neither can I! art is mostly curvy lines anyway :)"
I like your style. Sounds off the cuff, but also obvious that you've heard it a thousand times.
I have two
When people sketch with full pressure then complain "I can't get it to erase"
When people are drawing on a whiteboard and they erase it with their sleeve
The first one is so FVCKING relatable. Like no shlt you can't erase I can see the outlines from the other page, uneducated horse.
An art related pet peeve of mine is when people say "oh wow your so talented I could never draw like that" or "I can barely draw a stick person". This annoys me because I hear it so often, art is a bloody skill! You can learn to draw, so don't say you can't, you just don't want to.
I hate when people ask me about character or something I'm drawing, and I try to talk to them about it but they just blow me off and then wonder why I never show anyone my art.
I hate it when strangers loom over me when I’m drawing and want to interrupt me and have a conversation about it. Like...I understand I’m doing something mildly unusual and interesting in public, but I don’t understand why that is an automatic reason to interrupt me. Like you could work on a screenplay in a coffee shop and no one would probably stand over your shoulder and watch you type, but if you decide to go to the park to paint scenery studies, or make some sketches while at the art museum, you are guaranteed to have several strangers stare over your shoulder and want to talk to you.
My BIGGEST art pet peeve EVER is when people feel like they’re entitled to look through my sketchbook without asking me. Like GIRL. That’s personal. It’s almost like seeing me naked (which is also unpleasant)
Also when people open a soda and start drinking it in the store and pay for it AFTER they’ve started drinking. That bugs the crap out of me.
Yay Lemi video!!also beautiful painting . I love it. And I think my pet peeve is when someone keeps asking you to draw something, then questioning why I dont feel like drawing it ..
So glad to see you back lemi, loving the painting, I missed you.
A pet peeve?.. I cant think of any specific ones but I related to the cat hair and paint water ones said in the video, both have happend to me 😂
Art peeve of mine is when people compare my characters to popular ip characters like Link just because the character has brown hair and elf ears. People usually don't mean harm so I try to keep that in mind, but it can be disheartening when you want people to eventually recognize your comic characters as their own characters
Same
@@genericname8727 The reason it's a pet peeve is because knowing that shit doesn't actually help lol
I understand all of that, but it's still a peeve.
My biggest art pet peeve is when I tell someone I draw and they assume I draw in an anime art style. I just get so annoyed when people say that. Or when someone sees you drawing and ask "Can you draw me ?" .
My pet peeve
1. When people so not understand what you draw
2. When people say ' oh I love this piece but it will better to change this,'
my 3 "pet peeves":
1. Sometimes,when i make some edgy art and post it online, people are either trolling me calling me emo or think im venting and ask if im okay
2. People who say using circle/line tools is "cheating" and/or digital art isnt "real art"
3. Accidentally chipping off to much of a piece (sculpting)
This is more of costume making, but when people put what you made on without asking... One pice I made is completely ruined because the inside is discolored and smells awful because so many people just grabbed it and put it on. Then they complain about the smell, and I have to explain the same thing over and over. Now it's my first instinct to say "please don't put that on" but sometimes I still get "come on, only once?" Or "why not! I won't break It!".
My problems as an artist:
-when people ask me to draw them *internal screaming*
-when my name is on my sketchbook and they ask “oOoOo, did you draw that?”
-drawing on the WRONG LAYER (digital art)
-people asking for free art
-when people ask me if they can “borrow” my supplies, especially my pencil
-when people say that my cartoons proportions are wrong
-when people compare me to other artists
-when people just snatch my sketchbook out of the blue and FLIP THROUGH IT AND SHOW OTHER PEOPLE *more internal screaming*
-when people bump my back and mess up my line art
-when people are watching me over my shoulder and watch me draw!! *most internal screaming I can get out of my lungs*
I don't draw traditionally much anymore, but I've learned to keep a "SFW" sketchbook and a "NSFW" sketchbook for specifically the peeve of people taking my sketchbook away and flipping through it. Now I just draw digitally and switch tabs when someone walks in lmao ^^"
@@azazellon yeah, that is why I do digital art in public. Not much though. :D
@@elisha-da_cartoonist Only time I ever did digital art was in college, and even then I usually hid my screen from people!
@@azazellon lol I would do that too.
Omg having someone you know grab a nsfw sketchbook and flip through sounds like a total nightmare... ommmgggg
*_"Oh my God, this drawing is amazing!"_*
I drew this when I was 7 years old and had little to know knowledge of proportions and the characters look like garbage. People who don't draw apparently like to suck up to mediocre art because they "can't even draw stick figures." They probably follow the logic that if you can't do it better, you can't criticize it as a religion.
Additionally, I didn't have a problem with it then, but now that I think about it, it's really just bad. In my elementary school, up until 3rd Grade, there was an Art class where you either followed direct instructions that taught basic principles of art (not drawing both eyes of a character when they are facing either side, etc.) or just draw whatever you want. It did little to teach about drawing, and even though I did not like the Art class in my middle school, it actually encouraged mediums other than pencil and paper, and my first project got me elected for student of the month, so even though I personally disliked that Art class, it was objectively better than the one in my Elementary.
When people ask "Did you draw that?" While I'm drawing makes me want to throw my metal pencil at their head and yell WHAT DO YOU THINK!!!
But then again I hate talking to people and yelling at strangers makes me feel bad.
The Queen has posted
Mine has to be when someone asks you to draw / design something and when you ask when is the deadline, they say that they need it by tonight or tomorrow :)
People, please. We are humans. Not some kind of wizard who can make art with just a snap of a finger.
This REALLY pisses me off wayyy too much lol
a lot of ppl seem to have a problem with others saying “oh, ur character looks like this other character” and i get why, its sorta like saying ur character is unoriginal. but its just never bugged me all that much. idk why
I hate when people say “That’s because you’re so talented.” when you’ve improved a lot. I get it but I’m also like yeah but I practice every day
I get pretty irritated when I forget to change layers while doing digital art. xD
