What are some annoying things people who don't do art ask you/say to you?

[h4nz is the best]

Here are mine:

1. "Is that anime?"
2. "Can you draw me??"
3. "Why does she look like that?"
4. "Why would anyone wear that?"
5. "How long have you been drawing" (Not really annoying, I just don't know so I never know how to answer)
6. "Can you draw something for me???"
7. "Is that supposed to be you??????????"
8. "whaT IS THAT"
9. "ARE YOU DRAWING"

I have more that I can't think of atm

pls tell me yours and we can scream in silence together

Just a few~

"Can you draw me for free"
"Why do you charge for art? It should be free for everyone"
"I think you should __insert unhelpful advice here__"

*stumbles upon the list and prepares to recall some cringey questions*

10) It's a boy/girl, right? *frowns because it's not*
9) Can I color it? *hisses* "Miiiiiinez!"
8) I would have drawn it differently. "Well, no durr."
7) I don't like how this artist (one of my idols) draws. *hisses again* "Speak no evil!"
6) You draw? Could you show me? Show me. Show me! SHOW ME. >_>;
5) Your style is...Different. *knows they mean weird*
4) That's not manga/anime! *knows they probably have only seen one style*
3) Shouldn't it look like this or that? *is told this after I ink it* =w=
2) What is that again? Mang-ah? Mangoes? "Mawn-gah!" >3<

#1 I can't draw

Can you pick up a pencil and press it against paper in a way that makes a shape that even vaguely represents something else? Then you can draw.

(Not really that irritating buuut) *draws something actually insignificant* "OMG YOU CAN DRAW? WOW UR LIKE SO AWESOME! TEACH ME HOW TO DRAW LIKE THAT!!1!1

-and when doing group projects-
"Hey, you're the one who can draw right? Could you do this[s=] somehow art related thing but not really[/s] .... or better yet, do the WHOLE project"

 

[h4nz is the best]

I relate to all of these but if someone wanted me to draw the whole group project I'd say yes in a heartbeat lmao

I usually like to take over with stuff like that (sorry not sorry)

 

[수연 <Suyeon>]

Not for drawn art in particular, but I used to be commissioned for someone making a magazine and my most annoying IRL experience is for the customer to be over my shoulder trying to tell me how to do my job. Like, please... stay in your lane. I've been working with this program since high school without any guidance where as you, Sir won't even attempt to open it up and use it yourself even though a month's subscription to our computer station would be cheaper than going through me (and then El Cheapo couldn't even pay me all of the $75 which is chump change for actual professionals with degrees). Google and free tutorials are abundant.

Art in general (and to keep on topic): If someone who wants a piece of art done wants to armchair teach and give advice... all I can think is "Since you're the expert... do it yourself."

I mean yeah sure buuut they'd also get grades whilst not exerting effort so like nah

I used my art website to show some art that I used as "artifacts" for a story I wrote, and then the whole class begged me to show the rest of my art on my website when I finished my presentation. I was already suffering anxiety from presenting in general, so showing my art was .^.

Ugh people are annoying. :-///

This has happened quite a bit:

Some tumblr user: Hey your art is really awesome! Do you do requests?
Me: No, I do commissions or trades, would you want me to send you some numbers/samples and see where we go from there?
Them: Read 8:52 pm

I never hear from them again usually.

When I used to be a Sonicfag, I would always draw a bunch of Sonic the Hedgehog characters and people would always walk up to be and say "Hey is that Sonic????" when usually it wasn't.

Can you not colour your text blue? It's extremely hard to read your posts against the background colour of the Teto Dark theme.

 

[keopi]

"lmao hurry up"
"who dat"
"dem eyes be huge"
"is that a boy..... or a gril¿¿"
"u could do bettr ig bye"

and to top it all
"thats not real art bc its anime duh"

Why don't you just highlight it

 

[Tomato Hentai]

Why don't you just highlight it

I did, but it's still extremely annoying having to highlight posts to be able to read them, especially when you're using a trackpad instead of an actual mouse.

Well if you use two hands it's not that hard but whatever suits you man.

Just thought it might be easier than making someone change the text color they use specifically for you y'know//

"wow pigtails is that haztune meeeku"
