5 ARTIST STEREOTYPES (That Are Completely WRONG)

The expectation of how artists are is pretty different from the reality sometimes...

Theres one stereotype that's if you're a sad and depressed artist, your art is beautiful but in reality you just end up with crap.

[@TechTchno]

fiabeans Now that you mention this, back when I was going through depression my art was so terrible, yet now that I'm doing better (emotionally, though I don't know how long that'll last) I do better at art.

[@passionfruit95]

More like u give everything daf up becoz ye know Depression stuff

[@oceanmango]

I was just thinking this tbh

[@purplepuppy2132]

Eh to be honest my art ideas and execution got way better once I went through an emotional crisis, it gave me the inspiration to start again on it as a way to express that anguish. But obviously I'm not going to stop now even if I feel better, just saying it inspired me

[@taynamarinifontanela5106]

I saw a comic similar to this idea by Sarah Scribbles, do you know her?

[@squeet4596]

Whenever I would say I do art people would automatically assume I'm really in touch with nature for some reason. Like they think I'm supposed to act like some female Bob Ross. I've painted a lot more angry cloud's than happy trees

[@idkw8q73]

**silently cries in fanart**

[@ariayeetsu]

Yeah, I like drawing bloody images and kinda gory stuff orr sometimes stuff that are more "sexy" and a lot of times I feel ashamed because of what people are saying to me...... It's just how I express myself....

[@anonymouswitness3835]

I have never done drugs in my life and yet I've had people describe some of my work as "trippy" or "fever-dream" or ask if it was inspired by an acid trip. And it's like, nope! My mind is just Like That. I sometimes suspect that it has to do with inhibition. I think a lot of creative people can just choose to switch on and off their creative inhibition -- the "this makes no sense" instinct. I always have it "switched off" when I am first drafting (I'm more of a writer than a visual artist), and then I switch it on during revision. I think the people who assume that drugs are involved may struggle more with switching off that inhibition on command.

[@elizahamilton6265]

any time I'm drawing and someone asks me a question starting with "Can you" while I'm drawing my instant answer is "No,"

[@idontactlikethisanymoreyal6577]

Eliza hamilton, I feel you even though I am in 5th grade ab to go to sixth. Also a lot of people think I'm drawing porn just because I haven't finished the actual piece. Eventually at some point in your life if you go art school or just love to do art in general you will have to learn how to draw anatomy by watching. Well naked people. It's a normal thing not that I do that but some people do have to do that, so if you are going to walk up to me drawing people don't think I'm drawing porn. It's annoying and go away if you re going to say that to me lol

[@elizahamilton6265]

@@idontactlikethisanymoreyal6577 yea it's pretty annoying even though I don't draw people I draw animals instead but when I put down the basic guidelines they're like "Why are u just drawing shapes?" and it's the same goD DAMNED PEOPLE EVERY TIME LIKE bruh please just LEARN and especially in my AFJROTC class (I plan to join the military after high school) I get made fun of so much for drawing like a couple of guys called me a furry and I was like "Ok..? and am I supposed to be offended? So what if I am one? Just cause I specialize in animals doesn't mean I'm a furry" doesn't help that i have general anxiety disorder so these confrontations that I get make me incredibly nervous and they're just standing there like "y u sweating so much u good?" but yea. There's gonna be nice people and mean people. Ever since quarantine started, I've been experimenting with a whole bunch of new mediums, my favorites being acrylic and oil paints I even made a painting for my crush and gave it to him on his birthday

[@mathieuw3899]

Well the second one is understandable but there are some limits, art is not only about anime (even thought I do mostly that) so yeah I get why this situation can annoy you. I had one friend who is sometimes a rude person to me and my other friends telling us (me and my group of friend who are boys) that "anime isn't real and the girls in it too", I mean yeah we like anime, but we know it's not real like wtf was she trying to tell us? Did she really thought she was making us learn something ? And days after that stupid comment about anime (knowing that I draw only in that style) she asked me at lunch in front of all our friends to draw her in anime style (I don't want to be rude to her but I don't like her look btw and I don't want to do it for free) I flat out said "no" and she got akward for the rest of lunch. *it happened during my first year of college* And if she is going to make stupid comments "reminding us" that anime girls aren't real then she shouldn't ask me to draw her in anime style with such enjoyement without me judging a little bit her IQ because she annoyed us good times with her BS.

[@happyrose1112]

chocolate coffee THANK YOU IM NOT THE ONLY ONE one day i was drawing a girl in class because we had free time. Everyone was drawing what they wanted. Anyway, I did her hair and face first, and these girls looked over and went "EWWW she's naked!" And at first I was understanding, "oh, im not done, here.." So I added a sweater and boots. I decided to have her wear jeggings, which from her position, wouldnt have many folds. So i finish this sketch, no coloring or outline, and show them. AND THESE FREAKING GIRLS WENT "she still looks naked.." Pointing to her pants. I colored in her pants with the pencil, showing it AGAIN. "She still looks-" i just stood, looking over at their drawing "YOUR STICK FIGURE IS NAKED" and walked over to my friends. SORRY i had to get that out because i hate it when people do that to SUCH an extent. -_-

My mom saw my sketchbook and asked me why I was drawing porn. The drawings were not sexual in any way... They were just anatomy practice... And I even said that but she still though I was drawing porn... I WAS 11...

Grasboompje you’re taking it too literally, and if they really were going to get good at art they would be self-motivating already enough to do that work.

[@whalien1756]

Another stereotype is like whenever you tell someone that you draw, they automatically assume that you are some sort of art goddess that can just draw EVERYTHING PERFECTLY, when in reality every artist is at different stages of their learning process, and usually an artist also have like one or two focus areas and can't draw EVERYTHING. Like for example some artists have trained drawing humans or animals a lot, but they may be really bad at drawing stuff like buildings, cars or nature. And when you then draw something like that, and it doesn't turn out very good they are all like "but I thought you said you could draw?!"

[@sallydagger19]

A few more stereotypes: •When you draw gore you're immediately "an emo and need Jesus in your life" •All artists are introverts •When you draw sketches with no clothes or face or anything it's immediately porn •That they're willing to draw anything for free because you're their friend. Yeah. No.

YOU'RE GONNA BURN IN HELL FOR THIS!!!" and I look at her and go "Welp, I'll be happy to go to hell for that and meet other artists who drew things like that. I can't wait to meet Michel Angelo" and she just looked at me with a weird stare, not knowing what I meant. I am an introvert and all my artist friends are also introverts. But I wouldn't be surprised if there was in extroverted artist. Yeah, I got that once. Once, I was drawing a rather curvy girl, and one guy came up, when I wasn't even done and started going "Where are her eyes? Where are her hands? Where are her clothes? Are you drawing some messed up kinky porn?". By them I wanted to rip my drawing to shreds. Well... I kinda do that...

New Chilly The most famous artists are males. Namely: Leonardo, Van Gogh, Michelangelo, etc.... If they think males do not draw then they have been horribly misinformed.

[@Stettafire]

Historically women were seen as weirdos if they did art. Art was for men. Not children and certainly not women! Women did embroidery and created their dowry for when they married and produced a million babies. There is a reason why most historical painters are men. Same with musicians. We are very fortunate that we are beginning to live in a society where a person's sex has less weight in their choice of profession.

Another thing is like, when people hear the word “artist” they just think of realism. Like, they think the only types of true artists are realism artists, when it takes many, many years to get to that style. Most artists don’t even want to draw realism. There’s semi-realism, cubism, abstract, comical, so on, so forth.

[@fakecubed]

If you're ever asked to do something you don't particularly want to do, quote a price to make them go away. It should be high enough that if anyone ever does want to pay it, it might actually be worth it to you, and if they're really willing to pay it then your high price is actually a reasonable price and that says something about your value. It's win-win. If you find you're getting more requests from people actually willing to pay your high quote than you can (or want to) handle, raise that quote until you get a number of clients that you are okay with. I know people who have launched very successful side-gigs doing this method, and they were shocked at just what their value really was to other people. Just be sure to get paid up front.

[@supergirlyninja9093]

A Stereotype I hate is that all artists are willing to draw for you for free I NEED money and their like hey draw this OK 15$ ughh I don't have money well TO BAD MUAHAHAH

[@dss1733]

OH YES ,I was just doodling some random shit in the free time and one girl just came out of nothing saying "Wow..Can you draw a girl like this for me too?" And what did she expected me to say ?Of course I say yes I had to draw during my classes just to finish her drawing .It is super annoying and in the end I really liked the drawing and wanted to keep it to myself but she just took it and said "thank you"

[@softysenpai3591]

No joke, I legit drew a 'Get Well' Card for my grandma while she was in the hospital and EVERYONE praised it. The art was only a quick sketch (I did it in only 5 minutes as my mom was rushing out the door to go see grandma that day), and even then it was based on some anime chibi nurse I found on the internet so it wasn't even original. I wasn't proud of it, but turns out that someone liked it so much that they STOLE it. I think it was one of the nurses who did it, she was even asking my grandma if I could draw for their son (who I guess was also in the hospital at the time) and I said 'no'. It was the craziest thing that's ever happened to me, but now I truly believe that people in my area have little to no talent with art (except for a few people I knew in highschool seriously one girl drew Invader Zim styled stuff that looked legit like it could've actually been in the cartoon itself). I just don't get how an adult would steal such a thing..I mean, I did say 'no' but that's still not a very good reason. I made that card for my grandma, not for you or your son. So i guess the stereotype I hate most is 'hey can you draw me and/or do art for this person for FREE?'. And then, even when the artist says 'NO' (whether it be their actual job or just not doing every free request they get), the person goes into a psychotic rage and says some crap about how the artist is a 'scammer' or something. It's even worse in real life, because someone can just come along and steal/ruin anything you've made (though it's also just as bad online). Seriously, art is a LUXURY. You don't need to physically consume it to survive, it's only a decoration and something pretty to look at. But some people...it just boggels me what they'll do for free art.

[@HMCDLMNC]

*real encounter* Cousin who sits next to me in homeroom who knows I can draw: you're really good, can you draw me? Me: I mean I guess. I'm gonna have to charge you tho. You've been to my house we're very poor Cuz: what? But I'm your cousin Me: and? Cuz: you shouldn't have to *pay* for art, it takes no effort at all. I could draw something right now. Me: then do that Cuz: but I want what yooouuuu draw. Me: ok then a sketch alone is $7 Cuz: that's all I have today! Me: ok Cuz: *some bullshit* Me: ok Despite this shes really nice love you siana!

[@cjsworld4341]

“art takes no effort at all” is she serious?

CJ’s World stop encouraging hating, what if she actually started hating her? and it's none of your business she might be a nice person you don't know her don't tell her to ate her own family member!

[@user-pu2os4gh6t]

LazerE lol Tell them you are already working on at least like 10 commissions and you’re booked. Notice you said commissions. This will tell the person that they have to pay for a drawing and they probably wont want to. If they dont know what commissions are remember to ask them if they do. If they dont tell them and make sure to exaggerate that part about it costing money! ;)

[@bruhservices5942]

They think just cause I'm an artist I have all the paper in the world and an unlimited supply of pencils 💢😓

[@xenievanhelsing3964]

[@antoniosnoob1666]

Red Cr0w Or the pain (for IG traditional artists?that's what ppl call it) the pain of sitting at a desk/ and or table drawing and erasing.Which also comes with hand/wrist pains.

[@smlzbean361]

7:23 i'm a great example of this my normal ofit includes - A black/grey sweater - A preaty plain shirt - Jeans the only "crazy" thing I wear is a dolphin bracelet

[@ElmKyh]

K am I the only artist here who doesn't wear that kind of clothing..?

[@dont_know_my_name]

Honestly, a dolphin bracelet sounds very cute.

[@nom4481]

"OMG CAN U DRAW ME??" i have to deal with this every day. My siblings are killing me

[@rubbish9935]

my dad asked me yesterday "not to be rude but dont you want to do an actual career and have art as a passion?" and i replied with "I would rather do something i love and that im passionet (idk how to spell either XD) about than doing a job which i dread to do every morning" My brother also told me "Im going to be an engineer, I help society and what you do is just draw how is that going to help anyone? imagine being stranded on an island what are you gonna do? draw? oh wow so helpful, do it as a passion not as a career!" my mom is the only one supporting me with my decision to be an artist because she kinda was one two and she is the most amazing mom in the world

[@sed9385]

Well, artists inspire people almost everyday *_if not everyday._* Some art even save people. *sighs* _people. Goodness._

[@erikaoliveira8857]

actually the 80% of work is a type of art....

[@arieszne]

There are over 7 Billion people in the world and your brother is saying that? Does he know that there are over 50,000 engineers already? Maybe even over a million You can help with art by selling it and donate to a homeless shelter, and you can retrace your steps in that stranded island to make a map and sketch the island to tell future people that it looked like that a long time ago. Artist don’t only draw anime neko girls all day. Show your brother this reply so that he’ll understand.

[@Nonria_17]

Not offense but I hate your brother

[@Spineless-Lobster]

Rubbish Wow, no offence but your father and brother have very fixed mindsets, I’m glad your mom is supporting you!

[@camdynbutler3056]

A stereo type that I see a lot that really annoys me and also doesn't make sense is, "Every artist is depressed and they draw to cheer themselves up." Well, some artists may be like this, but I mean SOME people may wear blue and be sad and wear yellow and be happy, vise versa, doesn't make sense? Exactly. I think we just really need to get out there that artists create art because that is what they choose to do, not because they're ALWAYS venting or ALWAYS depressed and cheering themselves up. I think this is a really messed up assumption and that also might be why some parents are scared for their children going to art school or getting really into art.

[@thearcanestar]

My favorite color is blue and I love drawing but I'm definitely not depressed

[@emeralddarkness]

As an artist who has depression that makes me mad because depression makes it a LOT HARDER for me to draw not a lot easier. I wish I could motivate myself to draw more.

[@user-rw3hm7un4b]

They've told me that before, and i am kinda depressed because of personal matters but i dont vent all the time, and i dont wear dark colors, i try to wear yellows, reds, and vibrant colors.

[@OVERALEZ]

This, is me

[@neptun-4138]

Making mental sickness a personality is always annoying

[@felixettos]

When people think that artists wake up at 9 am and go to sleep at 8pm or something around that time, and then we draw a little but otherwise just relax... No, we draw at least like 8 hours every day and go to sleep super late

[@gummyworm0910]

Me: * drawing * Person: " iS tHiS yOu????"

[@user-cv2my8ck5d]

Maybe.

[@madeleinemusgrave5578]

Whoa, do I really look like my favorite oc to you? Thank you

[@spencerp6243]

A lot of these stereotypes are what make me not want to tell people that I consider drawing a hobby, especially since they think I basically make quick, easymoney by doing comissions, since I am relatively good at drawing, they assume that I always find it fun and easy. I find it really frustrating, seeing as it can be just as hard as any other job

[@phantari]

True i always starta really good drawing but then i somehow mess it up

[@katgigimv]

Edith Star Pointer so true, like my outline really good but then it just go to shit

[@Absorbedbee1416]

I don't know about you, but I think being a surgeon is harder than drawing for a living. After all nobody's life depends on you drawing a picture.

[@duntemdraws310]

Alexhander Handleton But again, not everyone has the nerves solid enough to be a surgeon. I don't.

[@Absorbedbee1416]

Duntem Draws Even if you don't have the nerves to be a surgeon, you should still respect the fact that being a surgeon is much more demanding than being an artist.

[@morgank6653]

me: **doodling in class** classmate: that's really cute! can you draw me? me: i mean, i guess so. classmate: ok. so i want you to draw me with cat ears and bright pink hair in long hatsune miku ponytails. make me thinner and slightly taller. me: (this girl has short brown hair, is 5' 3'', and is perfectly thin.) um... sorry. can't do that. classmate: what kind of artist are you? (this is an actual true story. not lying. this kind of crap actually happens in my school)

[@eisaiyoohoo]

@@imanireo bruh 2$ is so low, u need to put the cost of materials, time it takes u to complete it, etc. Not gonna lie if i found an artist in my high school who sold traditional pieces for 2$ id totally commission em

[@imanireo]

[@aphoruswithouttrees1153]

I’m an artist and when I was in 3rd grade I had this really artsy sequined backpack and people used to not believe it was mine because I looked so normal

[@sir_xenorion]

I mean I'm an artist myself and I love doing cool stuff with my hair, nails, and body, I have dozens of tattoos, black and purple hair with bangs, a nose and lip piercing, and acrylic nails, but not because I'm an eccentric artist, it's because I like to experiment to find what styles suit me best :)

A quote that goes with the last stereotype (my art teacher said this): *The 'Earth' without 'art' is just 'Eh.'*

Eh that's cool man

[@becca1chan8773]

Yeah there's also the "All artists have mental illness" stereotype and "They get their creativity from it" which is honestly pretty problematic as my experience being in a healthy state of mind get creativity flowing and shit done. Then there's also the "all artists are gay" which ... yeah I personally can't argue against because I am a gay artist but I am constantly surrounded by straight artists.

[@shopliftedtiara]

beccatron Well people say my art is good and i have ADHD soooooooooooo :/

[@hvislysettaross.]

Yea this really bothers me, once my friend (who has dyslexia) said she was more creative than me cause "*I have a mental illness and you don't*" like I have anxiety tho

[@keepyourshoesathedoor]

beccatron 😂 It’s funny tho because da Vinci and Michelangelo were hecka gay and made masterpieces. I’m sure there’s more. Not all but a lot of gay artists are really good.

Another one is that artists are like "super goths" and only draw depressing pictures and while that is the case for some that doesn't mean all artists draw that stuff. I could from drawing a picture with dark and gloomy colors to a turtle saying "Cheese" in a second.
