Hey guys, I hope you enjoy this video! I would love to know what phrases do you hate to hear as an artist? Any likes, shares, comments and subscribes are really appreciated :D Have a great day everyone

[@YasmineArt]

[@melaniecrybabyivanemilioma9809]

Kirsty Partridge Art i am not an artist i am just a child 😢

[@rawrxd7092]

Kirsty Partridge Art hey! I wanna know what your opinion is on this, so what do you think of artists putting out a request board where they draw things for free basically. Honestly I do this sometimes but I'm not a professional artist so I don't put out commissions since I'm still learning, but from someone like your point of view I kinda wanna see what your thoughts on this is.

[@canislupus7771]

Kirsty Partridge Art (people ask in school) I ABSOLUTLY HATE it when people ask me to draw them, its very rude. With all my homework how would I have the time?! Plus i prefer to not draw random people, they dont even THINK about giving me a refrence photo. How would I draw from memory? I dont like drawing relisticly, and I especilly hate when people decide to criticize my art style.

[@NickysToyBox]

I hate it when people ask ''is that your best price?''

[@ivarts9583]

"Art is not a career." How do they think their favorite movies and tv shows are made?

[@loniver6132]

Ivy Val e x a c t l y

[@rxie6005]

Exactly.. That shit in in the catagory calledd a to the fucking r and t

[@backnforth8401]

Studios keep artists around for projects and seasons. It's not a career you expect when artists experience unemployment between studio hopping. To a degree yes, but you'll work for jumping from company to company a lot.

[@juliejay5436]

Hey. Never mind the movies and music, think about the very house they live in, the bed they lay in, the chair they sit in their office, the car they drive, yes, the veggie packages and labels at supermarkets that they buy, the clothes they wear.... All of these things were designed by artists! People can be painfully ignorant!

[@leralle5454]

Ivy Val and the classic cartoons such as Tom and jerry or bugs bunny

[@dulce_bombon]

My top 2: "Oh? You like to draw. That's cool- CAN YOU DRAW ME SOMETHING???" (When you decline a request) "But we're friends, aren't we?"

[@devenloomis3240]

Loving Flowers honestly the friends I have are very understanding that the only time I draw ANYTHING for free is if it's a gift.

[@sunnysideofthings]

i draw quickly so i usually am like "alright uhm... what you want me to draw?" i secretly don't want to but yknow i have lots of free time so sure?? i guess??

[@Equilion]

As a photographer I hear that "That's not real work. You just push a button" a lot. :/ Also I get a lot of comments like "Oh, your camera takes great looking pictures!" Usually I respond to that with:"Yes... I taught it everything it can! ;)"

[@carlaephotography7096]

One of my favorite comparisons to this story is this... Person shows up to dinner party. Host says, "Your photography is great, you must have a very good camera." Guest replies, "Diner was great! You must have a very good stove!" Haha...Yes, I get asked that a lot. What do you shoot with? I took a picture just like that, here it is on my phone. (It is a similiar shot, but plain) I always politely look at their photos. This is typically while I am in my booth at events. The worst is when people ask me where I got my frame and if I would sell it to them without my artwork...Ouch!! LOL.

[@rachelgonzales3184]

I absolutely love photography. In fact, I use it a lot for reference. I can't be in all those magnificent places, so the photographer brings them to me. And, just for their own beauty, I appreciate all kinds of effects, shades, angles, colors. As many kinds of painting, there's photography.

[@ARTISTSANKETGUPTA]

Photography and art are so much interconnected , I can't explain it in words.

[@pinkmuffin9842]

Oh my god, it's the absolute same with riding. People are always surprised how exhausting it can be because they tend to think the horse does all the work. Obviously the horse (and the camera) play a big role in it, but it is the rider and the photographer that count. A great horse with a lousy jockey won't win anything while a expensive camera with a bad phtographer can only capture bland pictures and no emotions or anything.

[@RBIllustration]

I've been told I'm selfish for not offering free artwork because I should 'share my talent around', as if it's something I was magically blessed with. Also I was on a train in London once and these two businessmen were talking about their friend and said "Oh he's an artist so he just sits and draws all day... must be nice not to work." They have no idea how much work goes into being an artist and running your own business. I've even had to explain it to people at cons, that artists don't just draw the artwork and nothing else, they format and edit products for printing, package and post it, run their websites etc. They were really surprised - I think some people think we have an army of staff to help us! But that aside this is a really beautiful piece and I loved seeing it come together. The minimal colour palette is so effective!

[@showsgrl83]

Rebecca Blackwell Read "talented" bothers me. This "sketch" took me 5 hours and caused tendinitis. It's not magic. It's work.

[@roseof_alltrades3809]

"did u draw thiiiis?¿?" NO I LASERED IT INTO THE PAPER WITH MY EYEBALLS

[@blackswanvante]

I take that one as a compliment, like they’re so shocked I could create something so cool/pretty with my hands

[@nightynightlayla374]

Yeah, it kinda depends on the tone. If they're super excited about it then it's easy to tell that they're happy with your drawing and not really asking a question.

[@robertebersold3817]

When somebody asks "Can you draw me?" Just say "sure", and write "ME" on a piece of paper for them. :)

[@akaminehirata7913]

bruh! thanks! I'll use this, when people ask me for one. (cuz it's actually annoying me when people ask me..since I have work like A LOT and I even Work 24/7 Night and day..)

[@Navio_1138]

super smart 😋😂😂😂😂

[@vbgvbg1133]

THE BEST

[@marianpopa354]

Robert Ebersold Great answer.You literally saved me with this hack😂😂😂😂

[@isam1542]

You can also do a stick figure and always send the link to it. That's what I'd do.

[@boingo7545]

"Did you draw that?" "No I'm just pretending to draw this so people think I can draw!" "Oh... okay" "OH MY-"

[@snowball_from_earth]

Insane Galaxy that happened in my art class. My teacher didn't believe that that hand was drawn by me. Just sad😂

[@thamilini9436]

Omg! This so funny and sad at the same time!

[@boingo7545]

lol teachers suck sometimes... my teacher told me to check and "make sure" I didn't see it anywhere xD like excuse me?

[@MsPoliteRants]

Insane Galaxy yes! All the time. Adults older than me. At work. When I'm the only one in the area with a pencil next to me and a sketchpad near me... Yeah no i didn't draw that hah

[@heartshapedart7871]

Insane Galaxy I fucking know right?!?!!??!!

[@keithdartist]

When people go to a gallery with abstract art and say, "My ten year old can do that." I don't even like most abstract work but this still makes me angry.

[@KrisWilliams81]

Keith Decesare eh, going to a gallery and seeing a canvas painted white for $10 million makes me angry too. Lol Its the side of the art world I do hate because - a ten year old could paint a canvas white.

[@thegamingillustrator]

I don't mind complex abstract art, but stains on a canvas marketed with a sob story piss me off immensely.

[@nightynightlayla374]

Exactly

[@AlexisCassandraArt]

These are all sooo annoying! Some more I thought of off the top of my head 1. Unwanted advice. For instance, if you prefer doing portraiture, and someone comes along like "you know what would be really cool, if you switched to doing landscapes, I mean you've already done plenty of portraits" or if you prefer cartoon styles and they're like "well why don't you do realism instead?" 2. When someone asks, "Are you busy?" and you tell them you're working on art, and they say, "Oh okay, so you aren't busy then" 3. When you're clearly in the beginning stages of a piece and you get questions like "but where is the nose?" or "they don't have a neck" ...LOL

[@rxie6005]

Or WHY ARE THEY NAKED or wheres the eye/mouth/legs/hands/hair or (im a person who draw furry alit since i find animals easier then humans) why are you drawing a cat with wings? (Or when i draw some creepy/violent/ depressing/ dark etc. drawing) why is it so dark/sad or why is she covered in blood or why is her head not attached to her body ? I feel like these people never heard of feeling or creativity or imagination.. I draw what i want and you cant change that unless your paying me to do it

[@mahuyaadhikary9390]

I relate to those too..it’s completely annoying

[@laylagrrl2]

“i wish i could draw” i hate hearing this because it makes me feel like i am just bragging about how well i have taught myself to draw/paint and the person saying this might think i’m bragging as well

[@laylagrrl2]

i .candy exactly.

[@sugarghast]

Me: That drink is so distracting. It looks like a candle. *actually looks.* Me: Oh.

[@kieoniilansdown7827]

Olivia Beakman lol. I was solo co fused cause I didn't see the bottom of the comment. I was like "isn't it a candle?" Haha

[@SophieZA]

Hahaha, good job xD Thanks for cheering me up! :D

[@clairebearhalabu4804]

Olivia Beakman it is a floating candle (so it floats in water)

[@iglo9110]

I didn't even see the candle before i saw this comment...

[@screamingmimi90]

Olivia Beakman 😂

[@ChloeRoseArt]

I've only just gotten around to watching this and it is INCREDIBLE Kirsty. Seriously beautiful work as always!

[@boingo7545]

Here's a conversation I had with my teacher: *i show her my drawing for a project* "Where did u get this?" "I'm sorry?" "This drawing." "-_- I drew it?" "Are you sure? This looks a bit too good..." "Yeah I'm sure I did it at home." "Hmm... you sure you didn't see a picture and then draw it unknowingly?" "(What the hell) no I didn't" "Ok then..." OK THEN IM GONNA GO COPY MORE DRAWINGS AND HAND IT IN LIKE AN IDIOT :)))))))

[@MsPoliteRants]

Insane Galaxy omg that's... Fucking evil. I understand plagiarism exists but if you suspect it fucking Google it later don't question the artists integrity to his/her face!

[@boingo7545]

I hated her so much... x(

[@marcosantonio-jk5zc]

For me, the top 3 most annoying comments are: 1 can you draw me 2 can you stop drawing this 3 I don't like (the color you like to use), change it

[@rxie6005]

Or the why are you drawing this or that or why is it so violent... BECAUSE I WANT TO YOU IDIOT ITS MINE ! I DREW THIS WITH MY OWN HAND AND BRAIN AND ENERGY. YOU HAVE THE RIGHTS TO SHUT THE F UP

[@fishatticc]

Kawwai Uanie YES. OH MY DEAR JESUS I GET THIS ALL THE DARNED TIME. >_< I absolutely despise it.

[@mjb5496]

I hate how some people say "oh u never did that u just want attention" its really heartbreaking in my opinion like if u agree,

[@klaudiarichards2239]

It's so sad. Us artists work hard on the artwork that they do. And even when I make art for them, they tell everyone that they made it

[@ishagookool1373]

When people say that just reply "are YOU looking for attention by saying that? U dnt have the tact to express yourself doesn't mean others don't in a beautiful way."

[@CreativaArtly]

1. It's not realistic. 2. Can you do a drawing or painting for free? 3. Some flackers like to complain to me that fan art isn't real art.

[@sunnysideofthings]

3: look, look at this picture. i drew this. with a pencil. and other A R T supplies. if i did that except it wasn't fanart, it would be art, right? wrong. they're the same thing. except one character is already made by another person. shush.

[@GayAvocado]

What I dislike is when familie- members compliment your art and even though I know they mean it, it feels way better hearing it from a stranger/teacher/person you don't know very well Also I really like what you did with the hood she is wearing

[@KoriandrOfTheStars]

[@athenas5959]

“Can you draw me” I get HEATED when people say that. And also, you’re right, when they get all taken back because you said no! Like I don’t have time/don’t know you.

[@YasmineArt]

I haaate it, "oh you draw can you draw me?" The WORST, I'm getting a lot of them on my channel, like come on I draw what I love, if you want me to "draw" you, you need to pay for it, my time supplies and energy aren't cheap, the minute you tell them you "sell" personal artwork, they leave. People who have common sense will ask you for an artwork and immediately ask you for the price.

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Yasmine Art yep I completely agree 😊

[@angelina2908]

Yasmine Art Nice channel! And I totally agree!

[@YasmineArt]

Frisk Gamer oh thank you so much !

[@fox_sox9783]

You know what you should have said? "I only draw things I love, so I have to love you, and currently, were kinda sorta going in opposite direction here..."

[@darrenherring7788]

I say yes what would you like me to do so i can work out a price for you i have picked up work like this and even if its not my normal art its good pratice and fotces me to draw every day every job just makes you better. Always try to turn a negative into a positive Cheers have fun make art ignore negative criticism

[@leaveitblank8198]

"Can you draw me?" "Yeah." "Awesome!" *2 weeks later* "Where's my drawing. You said you could draw me!" "I said I could. I never said I would." --------------------------- "Hey can you draw me?" "Hey can you pay me?" "No?" "Then no." --------------------------- "Hey can you draw me?" *looks at them up and down* "Ew, gross no."

[@evelyngladkij3071]

😂😂

[@rosemugide]

The last one really 😂😂

[@artfullyorange]

Maybe it's just me but while drawing any portrait ever, I'm always asked without fail: "Is that you?" Nice video :)

[@margarida6857]

When I'm drawing people (it's what I do most of the time) somebody always questions "Who is it?". And I'm like: "B**ch, what if I'm just drawing some idea that poped in my mind? What if it isn't a "person" and just something that I'm building while I draw? What if even I don't know who is it?".

[@pinacoladaqueen8161]

I had someone say to me.. "your art is ok to get for free as a gift.. but I would never pay for it." (I am a woodburner/painter". I love your art work. and the topics you talk about. 💙

[@noormemar9659]

“Have u heard of colour?” “HAVE U HEARD OF MONOCHROME?!”

[@justsyd7336]

I relate to this on a spiritual level

[@flamecreate3975]

I am 10yo, so no. I haven’t heard of monochrome. But I feel like it’s relatable...

[@codydrawz9624]

I hate it when people ask me that. I like graphite. Black. Gray. White. I relate-

[@jigglygrandmama]

@@flamecreate3975 Monochrome is using just 1 colour, Looks great if done well

[@katelynbuss557]

I especially hate the criticism surrounding realistic pieces, some of my art friends seem to think that me focusing a lot on realism denotes any kind of style, using the token "realistic drawings have no variety or factor that makes them unique to you"

[@folbfolb]

person: oh my god you should totally color that *insert color* it's gonna look so- me: NO.

[@flamealligator6984]

LOL! Besides not wanting to pay for art, telling me what colors, etc. is the worst.

[@nasreeniqbal6289]

That's happened to me! I was drawing my OC, and my friend looked at my drawing (I didn't colour it yet) and she said :"I think her hair should be red.". I told her I had already chosen her colours, when she grabbed my red pen, scribbled red on my OC's hair, and said "That looks good," even though I told her not to.

[@akatsukifangirl8894]

nasreen Iqbal I remember one of my classmates did that to my doodle and I got so pissed about it. I hated him for it for a good bit

[@flamealligator6984]

OMG! Scribbled red on your work! 😱😡

[@flowernotesgaming9987]

Other thing my friend do/say -help me color when its wrong -(this happened yesterday) "YOU should draw anime!" -(this happened yesterday too) pls draw me ichigo from aikatsu! Me: YOU have to pay for it... Friend: Why should i? Its just a drawing nothing important Me: fuck off why would i waste my energy for something free? I put efforts to my drawings and YOU just saying its not important -breathing intensely while im drawing -YOU should draw me! -that color Is ugly erase it! -grabs what im drawing -trying to get my attention while drawing Agh i Hate these peoples Bonus -completely bashing about my art and not giving criticism -(this happened yesterday too) 5th grader on my scout team: hey you know _____ can draw Me: Yeah i know Her: Yeah but its better Me: no shit they're not, stop making me Hate my friend Wow that is long

[@void__3223]

I have, people ask me to draw stuff but dont want to pay, so it's usually no

[@2beastmanga240]

G.T. Yakfishing that happens to me all the time

[@Eyestudio11]

"Did you draw that?" especially when it's obvios, like when you still drawing it for example. I actually have no problem people asking me to draw them (happened to me only a few times in real life tho), because it's an opportunity to reply to them "Sure! Take off your clothes". Always catches people off guard. Sadly they always refuse... oh well, their loss.

[@helencampbell283]

Wow! I love this piece! :D I don't know if this really counts, but I dislike when you're clearly not done with a piece and people will stand behind you constantly asking what it is or telling you things you need to fix before you get a chance to edit it.

[@michelleclarke9868]

My art teacher used to do this and if I didn't immediately respond she'd take my pencil push me out of the way and do it herself, I used to get so mad, I wouldn't finish the piece. She would do this to everyone, some people let her because essentially she was doing their work for them, I felt unable to explore techniques comfortably in her classroom. I will say this, the next year I got another art teacher and she made up for it all, thought me a lot and even came to my exhibitions when I'd left school to support me.

[@Lenacamilleart]

The thing I hate most is when people compare your art to other people, but especially when it’s unfairly. One of my friends kept comparing my art with someone a year older than me. I couldn’t take it anymore and confronted that it hurt my feelings. I told them I think comparing us is unfair and I gave them a example of why it hurt my feelings ( she wasn’t comparing us in a polite way). She said she doesn’t remember doing that and that if she was me she wouldn’t care. But I’m not her. I drifted away from that person and don’t talk to them now. Sorry this is so long!!

[@artsy8490]

Sharpen your pencil to a fine tip and...actually never mind

[@Mimble_Doodles]

I hate to hear "Ah, you're so great- I wish I could draw like you.... I am so jealous", "I wish I had your talent" or "Compared to you I so bad at art". Who even thinks saying something like that is making another person feel happy or complimented...... I am not there yet either, everyone is doing their best always improving.... Also people complimenting my artsupplies rather than my work makes me feel kinda offended?

[@JaelBreton]

This! So much this! I see so many of these types of comments on people's art work and it pisses me off. Sure your skill might not be as good as your favorite artist, but putting yourself down to get attention or sympathy doesn't help you improve. Also, it's not a talent, it's a skill. Sure, some people have more inclination towards art, but it doesn't mean that you can't be just as good. It's all about practice and determination with a bit of passion.

[@funkyfranx]

My God, I know this is a five year old comment, but could you be any more up yourself? The most benign, nicest of comments upset you? Grow up.

[@Mimble_Doodles]

@@funkyfranx Hi, yes this is a five year old comment, lol. Looking back, “hate” is a strong word to use, but I stand by my opinion and I dont think thats me being up myself. Back then I was still in school and everyone had at least some time to practice and do art themselves if they wanted, by talking themselves down while putting in no effort to practice themselves it felt like they were disrespecting my time and effort. I guess I didnt clearly convey this sentiment in the comment above, I just didnt/dont like people using a negative comparison to themselves to compliment me. In my head: “But you can draw like this”, “You can have this “talent” as well!” and “You are not bad at art”. I hope you understand…

[@MoniqueReneeArt]

Your work is always so inspiring! The girl's face and expression are just so perfect for this piece. I also get "can you draw me" on the daily. You wouldn't ask a barista for free coffee, so why ask me for free art???

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Monique Renee awww thank you so much Monique and ikr it seems like something people say just to artists but wouldn't dream of saying to people in other professions 💕

[@flamecreate3975]

Bruh Ikr? 😞

[@anamikakaushal2206]

Same with my father,peole say 'do you sel me dogs free'😡😡😡 why do people do that 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡

[@patriciaanndemello4652]

Moral of the story: people are often self centered, jealous, think they're an expert on all subjects and highly critical without experience on being an art critic. I'm almost 60 years old and have been doing art most of my life. My advice is just to ignore people and do your own thing. People have their own issues they need to work on. Your creation turned out to be beautiful. You're so talented.

[@fakecubed]

When somebody asks for something, don't just say no, what you want to do is quote your price. If it's not something you really want to do, quote a high price, high enough that you don't think anyone will pay it. Most people will then leave you alone, but occasionally somebody will be willing to pay that high price. Then you've made a nice chunk of change, the person who asked is happy you didn't say no, so it's win-win. If you underestimated your value and you're getting many requests at what you thought was a high price, just raise your price until you're not doing that thing you don't want to do very often.

[@Jasper-ds3pe]

You started the pencil I was like “NOOOOO” and then you blended it out with the white and I was like “never mind that looks amazing”

[@isam1542]

I know, right? I was pretty shocked at the grain the pencil gave, but then the blender came in and suddenly it was polished marble. Impressive!

[@YasmineArt]

Also, this is a magnificent piece ♡♡♡

[@KirstyPartridgeArt]

Yasmine Art thank you very much 💕

[@cheesybee3539]

Mrs is amazing too tho

[@IpolaniSmith]

I LOVE this piece! It’s more to the real version of the children’s story. Never compromise your work. You are such a talented person. I do have a funny story for you. A “friend” of a relative was needling me to do a piece for him at his price. After months of telling him no, I agreed to send him my absolute best at that price, even in that size. He bragged about how he got my price down. I sent him a box of supplies with an instructional booklet. I explained his price covered supplies and postage. The booklet was a present from me.

[@natamauli9944]

There's one girl I'm my class she asked me if can I draw her, what I did ? I told her " okay I will, just stay in the same position for 4 straight hours and don't u dare do anything " And like that, she never asked me to draw her again

[@samscott5833]

"Wow I wish I was that good at drawing/ painting/ sculpting/ etc." you just have to practice like nobody is born with the ability to do any of that it takes a lottt of practice

[@darrenherring7788]

Sam Scott l have had you have a god given gift my reply gee i wish he had done the thousands of hours of practice so didnt have too and then i could just draw whatever i wanted without effort

[@rachelgonzales3184]

I say, "anyone who really wants to draw (paint, sculpt, etc.) can. But you have to WANT to." Ir comes down to what your druthers are: I druther paint: play baseball: dance: add and subtract: raise great human beings. What's your druther?

[@valerienagle7065]

I spent a month on a small 4x6 drawing. When I shared it someone commented, "some people find their inner artist as adults." Uh...yeah there was not excessive measuring and erasing and redoing and hours and hours of work I just "found" my inner artist.

[@youtubeallday9034]

*When someone says* : "Hey! Is that your sketchbook? Can I see?" *Me:* "Su-" _they took my sketchbook without letting me finish my consent_ "uhm.. ok...? dont touch it tho" *Them:* "Sure" *Drags finger resulting the charcoal to smudge* Me: WHAT DA FACK BRO!!?!!!!!!!?😠😠😠😠😡😡😡😡😡😠😠😡😡😡😠😠😡😡😡 *I legit punched my guy frend*

[@emmahayes111]

“Oh you draw? Can you design my tattoo?” And their tattoo is just some symbols that already exist all put together... and then they’re shocked when you want money for it! Amazing work! Love your interpretation.

[@mia-td5lq]

Just saying your drawing is beautiful! I really hope in the futur I’ll be able to create something like this x

[@hamburburzz]

*ANNOYING STATEMENTS*______ "Did you draw that?" "Hey when are you done with that drawing I requested you?" "Can you draw it in this style" *"Thats not art..."* "aRt iS eASy." "Why are they naked" "Why are you using Crayola? isnt that for kids?" "iS ThAT aNimE!?!?" "you should color it" "But it doesnt look like that..." *ANNOYING ART THINGS*_______ When people just look over you in a public setting. I get that they are interested in what your drawing, but sometimes i want to relax and just draw in any public setting. When people just think that artist can just sit and IMMEDIATELY just start drawing. NOPE! It takes me forever to think about what I am going to draw next. When people think creating art isnt emotionally draining. When im drawing, i sometimes get so stressed or angry at myself because of my drawing. Drawing can be REALLY stressful. ART CAN ALSO BE PHYSICALLY PAINFUL. BACK PAINS, NECK PAINS, HEADACHES, PAIN IN THE ARM, WRIST OR HAND, AND OTHER THINGS. whenever you dont know whats wrong with your work so you try and fix it but it gets WORSE. 🔴 BEGINNER ARTIST WANTING TO BECOME BETTER ARTIST, PLEASE READ : You DO NOT need to buy fancier/more expensive art supplies. Color pencils from CRAYOLA are actually pretty good for $1 (i wished i learned that beforehand • - • ) 🔴 Art does not just take 30 minutes. Some art can usually take up to 5 - 7 hours.

[@lissanovelles9538]

" why do you draw the same thing" I hate that so much, it's like people telling you to draw things that you don't like to draw. Well its nice to draw other things for practice, I'm just like "Let me draw what I want draw!" But your piece is very pretty

[@euphoric_loop9451]

This piece is beautiful! When I first started drawing I remember my biggest pet peeve was when my grandparents or other adults would say I was coloring lol I still don't know why.

Miss Murder Omg hahaha I say that to my friend Oppss hahah!!!XD NO.I actually am not and I would rather fall off a cliff then to say that.So relatable.

[@margarida6857]

For real. When I'm just passing time in lessons sketching, I draw silhouettes. And when somebody from my class besides my best friends (one of them draw, too) looks at my sketch, makes a shocked face and asks "Is she naked? Why~". I swear to god, I just want to punch them in the head. I'M JUST DOODLING, OF COURSE I WON'T MAKE CLOTHES, more even when I'm trying to understand better some parts of the human body. Besides, the human body is so beautiful, why not draw it?

I don't really mind any of these. So thank you for being the first person i have ever heard say "MOST" artists! Idk, i just hate when people say every artist hates these things.

[@_smile_1938]

When someone ask me to draw them and I said "No" they will insult my capabilities as an artist

[@yuhsuanchan7491]

This is an awesome drawing, full of imagination, really beautiful! I hate those: People: "Can you draw me??" , "It is so expensive" ( actually very cheap...), "Drawing is just an hobby, it can't be a career"... Me: I just love drawing and I'll never give up ~ ;3

[@MANNY100123]

Now that you mention it... I think what killed most of my motivation was drawing for other people... My love of art turned more into work and it just wasn't as fun for me. Eventually I couldn't do it anymore. I used to be in several art groups but I've since left them. :\ Now i'm just recovering and trying to get back to drawing for myself... Sadly it's been easier said than done. Thank you very much for making this video, Kirsty. I got some thinking to do. ^^

[@isam1542]

Don't worry, it's OK. I did the same. I tried to make it as an artist, and I realized the moment I HAD to draw, the moment it was compulsory, I deeply hated it. I found my real vocation in teaching (l love doing it even when it's compulsory, I love preparing classes and interacting with students), so I make my money in other ways and draw and paint only for pleasure. That means I don't give a shit about the result not being "good enough". You don't need to be good, really. I used to be obsessed with getting better to the point that even though I was getting better, I despised myself for not being Angus McBride, or Kirsty Partridge, or Das Pastoras. Well, to hell with that. I draw and have fun, and that's all I'm going to do. I watch these videos so I can have more fun, but once the pressure to do right and well and perfect, and aligned and in perspective and with correct lightning went out, it became fun again. Just enjoy it. Imagine you're five. Anything you draw would be awesome to your 5 year old self. That's the point.

[@sallysuggs2356]

First off, I just want to say that this is absolutely PHENOMENAL. You have SUCH a beautiful style, and I absolutely will be subscribing to your channel now. I also wanted to contribute to the art-related phrases you hate to hear. I absolutely HATE when you tell someone your preferred style (even if you are not an artist, but are just appreciating a certain style of art), and that someone says something akin to, "oh, well that's not REAL art though." My father is an artist, but I have caught him saying this before, and it frustrated me greatly. It's as if people don't realize that their opinion is not the only one out there. Just because YOU can't see the detail and painstaking effort that went into a piece, doesn't mean that detail and effort wasn't put forth. And even if the amount of detail and effort wasn't "as much" as what went into another artist's work, THAT DOESN'T MAKE IT ANY LESS OF A PIECE OF ART.

[@YasmineArt]

I hate when people tell me :-Is this yours or did you steal it? When you already provide the video for it, they still question you.-Do you gain money from your art? No? Then why do you call yourself an artist?The worst one: Oh you draw ! Can you draw meee? AAAAAAAAAA

[@michaelvinicius9271]

"I can, but I won't."

[@paulapeterson-warnock3030]

People can SO have no class. Ignore them Kristy. Your work is beyond wonderful. As an artist myself, I know how hard art can be.

[@soulkens]

“Can you draw my name, like real big?” Is this just me!? I can’t stand this and it happens often to me.

[@janiya7335]

Omg relatable. I always ask "what does me knowing how to draw have to do with me writing?" And they always say "well you can draw, so you can write.' Like no, shut up

[@bluesapphire170]

You are an amazing artist, and your drawing style is beautiful. I understand all of your points, every time somebody tells me "why the hell am I working in art" and, "why don't you find a real job" , I just want to freaking yell at the sky in annoyance. Most people don't understand that being an artist, ANY kind of artist, is a hard, time consuming and downright stressful job.

[@mx.menacing]

Amazing video as always! ^^ I'm a very small artist so I don't really have alot of experience with this. But I have a DeviantArt account and I do art for Points. And sometimes I feel like I'm underpricing myself, but I can still get things like "Oh, your art is so expensive!" And I'm like... -_- "I DRAW CARTOON HORSES FOR A MAXIMUM OF 50 POINTS WHICH IS THE EQUIVALENT OF HALF A DOLLAR. IS HALF A DOLLAR ALOT NOW?"

[@gourdingaround]

I hear--"You work from home so, you really don't work"..."you need to get a "real job that pays a weekly salary"(as if you don't get paid)"--"since your home, can you watch my kid for me".......Kristy I love your drawing...just stunning!

[@mythdusterds]

This piece turned out really cool. You are using a lot of mediums in this piece I have never used.

[@runalisunstone1646]

One of the things that peevs me off, is when someone says: 'oh.... All you've been doing is the same thing.... Only with different designs and poses.' 'why not draw something else?' Something else is when someone asks for you to like/follow them and leave a link on your video/drawing on any social media or Art app and don't say anything relevant to the work I have done or how much time was takin' in making that piece. Its disrespectful and insulting to myself as an artist and I bet it is to other artists as well. I mostly just make my art because I want to show people that its fun, and something we all can enjoy.... But it makes me feel insecure about my work which leads me and others to not want to do anything more with it. Which is saddening because lots of people make great art and..... Its frustrating that allot of young artists are trading likes for likes and follows for follows..... They'll get likes and followers later on when people like their art and respect the teqniqe they have for certain areas of art.... They don't need to get them right away... This stuff takes time.... Not to mention that when they say they "need" followers and such.... They are just really saying they don't want to wait for some people who like their art, and that they want to force people to like their art because they think its good and think they deserve the recognition for something they made with little effort....

[@cweepy6343]

“Hey can I have a commission?” “Sure what do you want?” “Just a head sketch please” “That will be $1” “That is too expensive for me, why would I pay you if I could just do it myself”

[@TrekkingTheRockies]

I just discovered this video. I decided to watch because I've been a licensed hair stylist for 40 years. A different art medium but also a form of creativity. When I was in my 20's doing hair, I had a great clientele and very busy. Sometimes I would get a new client and they would ask me what I planned to do for a living. I wasn't just gong to do hair my whole life, was I ? This happened a few times and it was always men. I have a neighbor who told me she and the other women were talking and they thought I should color all the kids hair in bright tones. She announced this in front of the other moms. She never talked to me privately. I never answered her or brought it up. Still bothers me. It would have been between 8-12 kids!!! Loved watching you create this piece. Beautiful!!!

[@seviesilence6093]

lemme point out that I'm crazy for dark/sci-fi/space magic stuff, long ago, when I was taking AP art in a suburban high school with a lot of basic kids (oh the memories), I painted a boy in a gas mask holding a balloon, with a burning ferris wheel in the background as a project, completely in love with its badass-ery *^* but whenever I worked on it, I kept overhearing mutter like "whughh that's so creepy" or " omg ew she's so weird for drawing that", etc etc. that wasn't the only piece I got those comments from, and yeah, of course I was bummed out, but I didn't care much, I was there to flourish, not to take selfies and chat nonstop. Now that I'm in college, it's a very different approach, and it really got the weight and anxiety off my shoulders about the negativity. I made a great progress in my art and I am just so happy hearing "your art is so cool!" other than "what's wrong with you?" ( I guess they don't like my seriousness?) LONG STORY SHORT: I HATE when people criticize your art because they prefer unicorns and rainbows and not something else.

[@michelleclarke9868]

Awe I wish I was in your art class just to see your work and have it inspire me as a young girl, wow. Also in relation to those who judged, those who can do, and those who cant judge and belittle those who can. So if your getting grief you must be doing a great job 😁

Kirsty I love your work, I am Learning SO much from You. You are my favorite self taught KZbin artist !! Regarding the negative comments, you obviously have worked very hard to hone your craft. I'm quite sure you spend hours each day to perfect your style & techniques, not to mention the hours you put in to make these video, editing & voice over. People are clueless & I hope you still read your comments because there are plenty of us out here that really appreciate your work ❤

[@x_nekomew_x]

"You draw on a computer? So the computer pretty much does all the work for you then? That's not real art." That really makes me angry.

[@rosemugide]

Exactly!! It's not like you can just press a button on a Wacom and the drawing just materializes

[@shaialvera6907]

I have many things to say about this video. !: I love this drawing. You made the colours super bright and vibrant, yet very realistic. 2: The five things you named are very relatable. three things I get irritated about is when people ask me to draw realistic art, when people tell me to throw away or erase my art, and when people try to criticize my art. My art is more cartoony or anime-like.

[@TheArtImprov]

Great video! You hit a lot of poignant points.. got a little distracted by the drawing/painting though it's so captivating!

[@myartprocess6003]

Kirsty, it breaks my heart that someone with your talent and inspiration to your followers would ever have to deal with people saying any of these things. You're wonderful. You've made me call myself an artist again because you inspire me every day!

[@heytogrey]

I was selling original art as part of an event next to a local (expensive) restaurant. I had so many people compliment my art, but then scoff at seeing my prices. To be clear, my price for an original piece was comparable to one meal at this restaurant these same people were walking in and out of. So they saw enough value in a single meal to spend that much money, but they found it crazy to spend that same amount on something they admire that will last their lifetime. As for something people always say to me that drives me insane: "Why would I pay you $75 for (original) art when I could just buy a canvas print of something at Hobby Lobby for $45?" I just have no idea how to answer someone who is that level of clueless.

[@dinodrawer4658]

Hi, Kirsty. Since I was a kid everybody told me that I was very talented at drawing. I have been drawing all my life even when I decided to do a biology degree, my other passion. But now, finally I choose to ignore all those people that told me that art was only a hobby and not a real job. I'm going to start my new art classes and I hope in the future I can develop an artistic career. So thank you for your videos because you give me hope. Hope that I will finally archive that thing I have always pursuit but I was afraid to choose.

[@paulcotter5181]

I hate what galleries want in commissions. They will ask for 50% to 60% often for art they sell. This is crazy to think they was to rob a artist of there time, materials, and frames. You are special and I love your work and so enjoy channel. So glade you are full time doing what you love. Life is to short to do what you don’t enjoy. I hated to retire because I loved my job, but it’s been the best thing. Now I’m getting back into art again which I loved when I was young.

[@ella-fk6gd]

Loved this one! Im Only 13 at The moment and i really want to be able to draw and paint when im older. It brings me peace and kind of lets me space out from reality for a while.

[@kadencecamp9020]

[@oneaspiringartist5822]

Love the drawings you do. I learn a lot from watching these types of videos, thanks kirsty 😁. Now then~ for things that I hate to hear. " Drawings can't get you anywhere far" said my parent to me on almost a daily basis. So I made a KZbin channel to promote and teach art. "Where's the income? If you can't make money, it's not worth it!" they said. I propose selling prints on redbubble. "No one's gonna buy it! You need to sell stuff that people actually need. You don't need art to survive." my dad quickly turned down the idea. "I know! Why don't we do a food delivery service, that would surely be a successful business." he continued pushing his ideas onto me but still refusing my ideas. Seriously! When you're parents don't support your ideas, it hurts a lot.

[@harleyhamilton4012]

I don't know if it's just me but as somebody studying gcse art I get so irritated by people (including my art teacher) saying things like 'well not everyone is born with talent like you' or I've literally had people look at my work and pick out things wrong with it just to prove to themselves that I'm not 'perfect'. My 'talent' is countless hours of hard work, some pieces take over 20 hours and it's a lot of stress, money and honestly not as glamorous as people may think. I'll admit my work is quite good but it isn't some rare gift that I was presented with when I was born. It's practice and time and it's ripping pieces up after spending hours working on because they're 'not good enough' and it bugs me that all my dedication and unhealthy amounts of time are discredited because it's just 'expected'. I really hate talking about this normally because I feel like I just sound really annoying and whiny but I just personally think that the word 'talent' can sometimes be a bit diminishing and patronising almost when used in the wrong context. I don't know if I'm the only one but it's perfectly fine to disagree with me haha.

[@MsPoliteRants]

Harley Hamilton I think it's appropriate to call young artists talented. Like I've seen this 16 year old who creates stunning photorealistic portraits. That's to me more talent than practice. Of course maybe she has had art teachers paid by her parents since age 8 or something but mostly that's talent driven. Plus I think the difference is that someone with talent is someone who looks at their own art at every stage and likes it enough to keep going and to actually work 20 hours on a piece. I don't consider myself highly talented and I don't make decent art.when I work hard on something till my eyes hurt, I'm always disappointed in it and don't want to try harder. I guess that's a personality thing too but still maybe if I liked my art I would do it more. Idk if I'm explaining well enough. Basically if you are painting realistically at age 8 (I've seen that too but she actually contributed it to God because she is religious) then it's fair for people to say how talented you are

[@chaoticfallen8670]

Worst thing for me is when I run out of all my art pencils( I don't use very expensive ones but still most of the time i use a mechanical or school pencil .~. ) because I am giving them up to family members and they never give them back then I run out of all my pencils. I have learned nobody touches my art pencils, especially prismacolors or actual drawing pencils. XP OH and then a few weeks or months later I find most of them after getting more of them!

[@2beastmanga240]

This is so relatable

[@ohhrreo]

1) Its not exactly over social media, but I get so many of my friends asking if I can draw them Like, no. Occasionally I will draw stuff for them, y'know just when I bored in class and I don't like the drawing, but they do But. I have never drawn something for one of my friends 2) Everyone has been supportive of my art, so they're alright with if I go into it, but since I'm more into forensics, art is just really a HUGE side/back up thing (But I also wanna do teaching, with art, drama and history, so art still fits into a main plan) 3) literally, just leave my art style alone. I've worked so hard to achieve my style and you're making my self esteem about it go down 4) I have a friend, who I admit is a better artist than I am, but she occasionally will draw what I'm drawing, but better. And then I get so iffy about my art so I stop for a little while 5) It takes a lot of work to art, and its annoying when someone decides it not worth what you think it is, because that makes it seem degrading to your art

[@juliejay5436]

Hello Kirsty, So people think that Arts are not a career?! What about the movies they watch, music they listen, books they read or paintings?! Think about the very house they live in, the bed they lay in, the chair they sit in their office, the car they drive, yes, the veggie packages and labels at supermarkets that they buy, the clothes and shoes they wear.... All of these things were designed by artists! Even something as small as a shirt button had to be designed and created by an artist. People can be painfully ignorant! I just wanted to tell you that requesting to drop the price happens a lot even in my line of work (which is not Art related), and usually what I tell them is "Call someone else, I have no time for you". Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and please continue with your awesome videos, I love watching them on my lunch breaks!

She once even tried to take one of my painting off the wall in the gallery, or shed come in and cause trouble and refuse to leave till we gave her something for free, we called security, ridiculous experiences of the lengths people will go to, to get something for nothing, she was also one of These ' art shouldn't have a price, what you produce belongs to society and you can have credit when your dead' people
