Things I Can't Stand - Artist Edition

When you draw for a long time and realize you're on the wrong layer.

Problem 1: The other eye Problem 2: Hands Problem 3: THE OTHER DAMN EYE

Looking at my old art is my worst nightmare, I look at it and younger me thinks "ye this is good"

My artist horror story: Random people trying to grab my sketch book and look though it. “Is it a diary?? OOH YOU MUST’VE DRAWN INAPPROPRIATE STUFF! HEY! SHE DREW INAPPROPRIATE STUFF!” Like bro- no- I just don’t want to show you my art💀

"cAn YoU dRaWn mE?" This is like hearing a mosquito at night.

My worst nightmare: Those crappy erasers on pencils that don’t work AT ALL and mess up your paper and artwork

At school people would watch me draw I would feel very uncomfortable about people looking at my original characters. I don’t know if this actually happened or not but I think one time someone showed my artwork to the entire class and I felt super embarrassed.

when I was about 9 or 10 I had a really thick drawing book where i kept ALL my drawings, yes all the cringy 2018 drawings. One day in school I went to the bathroom and when I came back three boys were looking through the book. They were laughing and showing it off to the rest of the class. And there was this girl who asked me to draw her multiple times so there were drawings of her in that notebook. For the rest of that year people thought I liked her, and till this day I don’t understand where the teacher was at that moment.

When you drew that one dot between the 2365849374665843 layers. And can't find which one it was

"How do you do that?!? I cant even draw a straight line!" "theres literally no straight lines in this drawing"

Scary fact: Once I forgot how to draw completely for 5 months and I had to practice drawing all over again

my artist nightmare is when a drawing I worked on for hours gets done, and then I show it to my friends or post it on twitter, and no one responds, not even a simple “nice”

When you can’t draw that one slightly curved line so you have to redraw it 50 times before it actually looks nice, but your brain decides it could be better so you redraw it again and it looks even worse than before.

When ppl say ”Is an artist even a job?”

Something that happened to me some months ago is that I was at my grandmother's house with my little cousins and I decided to draw two of them (2 sisters, they were 5 and 3). When I finished it I really liked the result, so I showed them and the littlest liked it and showed it to her mother, but the other one LITERARY BROKE IT INTENTIONALLY JUST BECAUSE

I'm not an artist nor can't draw, but I can definitely see why these are very frustrating for artists

Me one day: draws perfectly Me the next day: draws like a 4 year old

puts down pen for a second pen: immediately teleports to the void, the Bermuda triangle, Narnia, Santa’s cleavage in the north pole, the hidden leaf village

When ever I draw in my style people say “that doesn’t look real!” I tell them to show me their art and they get embarrassed!

"And your brain suddenly decides that you don't know how to art anymore" Best line-
