~artist problems~

[@N30KID]

It's a harsh world for artists. People who don't respect the hard work any artist puts into their work honestly has no business placing commissions for their art. Further more, if anyone steals another person's art and claims it's their own artwork then they are a massive scum bag.

[@pianoman1452]

[@Mysterark]

I doubt he said that Artists have the harshest world because simply saying "it's a harsh world for artists" doesn't completely negate the fact that job in the coal mine is harsh too :^)

+Bakamatsuu Are you capable of properly reading?

[@kkay9598]

I hate it when they say 'the watermark ruins it' because no, it doesn't. It doesn't affect anything at all. Watermarks are there for a reason which is to prevent people from stealing it and just smacking it onto possibly-scam merch.

[@StarSonata10]

Those people just had never produce their own work of something, hence they'll never experience what it felt like getting their hard work results getting stolen just like that. Or they just don't understand what's the point of watermarks. Either way, people seriously need to respect an artist work any way they could.

[@kkay9598]

It's just like you said. They really need to think about how they would feel if their art was stolen :/

[@GaiasRebirth]

To be honest it depends how the watermark looks and how much it covers up, some artists make them to intenso or it has to many lines really ruining the artwork to the point where you can not differenciate between artwork line and watermark lines... but even watermarks do not help in modern days... you can photoshop almost everythign with enought skills..

[@leah49810]

I can understand why watermarks are important But dont have this giantass dark grey watermark over your artwork that darkens the majority of your coloring and linework it makes it look ugly and just overall ruins the atmosphere and aesthetic of the picture

Artist Problems: Drawing the other eye.

[@kingdomhearts7166]

skrub lord The trick is to not make one eye *too* detailed make them simple

[@noonebossesthegarnet2890]

Work on both eyes at the same time. For example, draw the eyelid of one eye, then the next one. Then draw the lower eyelid on one eye, then the next one. Then draw the pupil of one eye then the next one. Hope that helps. :)

So accurate it actually hurts. My worst one was somebody commenting on my commission listings asking for some art, then seemed baffled when I told them that it would cost £X. To this day, I remember what they said: "I thought it was free for me"

[@ScarrCrow]

My mother used to be a translator and accredited interpreter (in germany we call it dolmetscher, not sure if that's the right translation though, sounds kinda weird) She had to travel a lot, work over night and of course always made a contract before she accepted the jobs, but she told me that sometimes, her employers would come afterwards and be like "yeah since that was a pice of cake for you we will pay you like 2% of the promised payment" (extraggeration) And 4 some reason this shit dose happen a lot to asians. One of her best friends (her husband is a popular artist in my city, hiroyuki masuyama) was asked to draw someone for like 20€ she was finished after like 15 min or so, the customer told her "yeah that took to long, i'll give you 12€ for that" taking advantage of someone, because they'ren't very fond of the local language, is fucking ridicolous.

[@ordinaryaverageguy76]

"yeah that took to long, i'll give you 12€ for that" Rrrrrriiiiiipppppp....here's half then. Nice doing business with you!

[@fluffyrat4440]

that's why, imo, it's best to get half the payment beforehand and half afterwards

[@potatopenguin5864]

For me when I draw my sketch for the female anatomy, they'll say I'm drawing hentai when it's just a warrior princess, after that, I went to the toilet for TWO MINUTES when I came back, they took a pen and enlarged the breast from normal to like Z cup, not only that they also added FRICKIN nipples.

I hate when people try to look at my drawing when I'm clearly trying to cover it up by putting my whole body on it. They just try to see by looking around and above when they pretend to ignore the fact that i don't want them to see it, and they say things like "but people only draw for the point of others looking at it!" or, "if no one else sees your art, you might aswell never draw again!" (real things people said to me). To all those people who can't relate, some people don't draw for other people, some people draw for themselves, and the feeling of apreciating their own art.

[@hulahoop2884]

As a guy who knows a lot of artists, these struggles are all too real for me to see... SUPPORT YOUR ARTISTS. DON'T BE A CHEAP FUCK. IF YOU LIKE THE ART, BUY IT! You can negotiate prices, but holy shit don't say "Well this artist does it for cheaper..." That's not a valid argument. Just because some artist does it cheaper, doesn't mean that they're doing the same type of quality and technique as the one you're talking too. Art takes time and effort. You don't go to a steak house and get a steak that's clearly priced as marked, get the steak and say "Well outback has this steak for 10$ cheaper..." No, that's not how that works... I digress.

This happened to me once: I was at school, I went to my desk and went to get something I was working on, I couldn’t find the drawing, then one of the Popular Kids, ima call them ‘Charles’. Charles walks into the classroom with his sketchbook, which is weird because all the Popular Kids hate art, he goes ‘Look at this!’ It was a completely finished version of what I was drawing, and he traced my nearly-finished work. I then later asked ‘how did you draw that?’ Then he goes up to me and says ‘Thanks for the REFERENCE! It really helped.’ Then I snatched his sketchbook and ripped up the traced work and got my drawing back. Ended up getting suspended for a week because of breaking another students property, but it was worth it.

[@YukonHexsun]

I have never drawn art, paid for art commissions, or been involved in art circles, and even I can figure out how commissions work. Yes, custom art prices are going to be high if you want them to actually put work into it. You're paying for a piece of a specific person's life and the premium of their skill. "Oh but so and so charges less". Well, maybe their art style is lazier. Maybe they take less time to draw it. And hey, if you think their art looks better, then go to them. There's always going to be someone who prefers the style of someone who is more expensive, and they'll pay that high price. If I was buying art, I would care far more about the quality and style than the cost. It's not like milk, where it's all basically the same; all art is different, and all people put different financial values on their time. Accept that, or go to a different artist. Though, I can understand complaining if it was something completely outlandish. Y-know, some pretentious artist who sells a sketch of a dying flower for 600 dollars each or something. Or those designer shirts that look exactly like regular shirts, but cost 10 grand. You're a pretentious knob, and if you buy those clothes you would be using your money better if you used it as fuel for a fire to warm a homeless person.

[@drawnwithlove3499]

*#PREACHSISTER**/BROTHER* Yes, this is all very true, imagine if you asked someone to build you house, they say it's worth tons of money, you refuse and complain since it's just a house, I can just buy an already built house that's WAYYY better. Anything can amount to a ton of work, even something as simple as paper had to go through a long, ambitious, expensive process to exist and be sold to other people, imagine wasting hours of your time and energy to do this one thing for a person, with promised payment, then they refuse everything because it's just a simple job, and they found someone who does the same thing but do it way better, I bet you'd feel crushed.

In response to that I give you this excerpt from Max Ehrmann's Desiderata, a poem that has been a source of great comfort to me over the years: If you compare yourself with others, you may become vain and bitter, for always there will be greater and lesser persons than yourself. Enjoy your achievements as well as your plans. Keep interested in your own career, however humble; it is a real possession in the changing fortunes of time. Exercise caution in your business affairs, for the world is full of trickery. But let this not blind you to what virtue there is; many persons strive for high ideals, and everywhere life is full of heroism.

[@Luckychris02]

hoppyKnitz are you serious? (Genuinely curious) too lazy to check google to see if it's a real style, but if so do they come out good?

[@EclipseSeth]

Hahaha, what's funny is that there are some famous artists who do that and sell it for a lot of money. But... you need to be famous first (and I think that trick won't work as easily since people will say you are copying them, XD).

[@Luckychris02]

EclipseSeth so what you are saying is up the ante by drawing on black paper with a black colored pencil?!?! But man as crazy as that sounds I wouldn't doubt it's true.

[@knitz]

lol nono i dont draw :c im so baaaad

[@civilkhaotix7094]

Hey kiddo, not everyone can draw traditionally like you, check your privilege.

[@Gummybunnybearsmiles]

I drew like 4 people in my class one day and now everyone says I 'owe' them a drawing like no dude...I'll draw you when I feel like it and you pestering me like you are entitled to my art makes me not want to give you anything ^^

[@projectheromode]

*AH WTF THIS IS SO RELATABLE.* My fking e-mail has all these partnership programs offering free "exposure." Yeah, exposure my ass.

[@PixelleHearts]

But they give you the best kind of currency, ✧･ﾟ: *✧･ﾟ:* EXPOSURE BUCKS*:･ﾟ✧*:･ﾟ✧

[@changelingnoxus5242]

Silly Pixelle Hearts, Exposure Bucks only have value when its Radiation Exposure.

Don't forget those "commentors with the shout-out series who "guarantee" a large following" Wassup Astro ":)

[@gladiatorgodclassic1]

I mean, if you just draw the art on there ass thats great exposure

[@Louicanthrope]

oh yeah, expose THAT

[@sunnyflower2807]

0:01 this happened to me too, when I start studying in 7th grade, when I enter the school, (first day of school) the teacher ask the students to introduce them self in front of the class one by one, the teacher said that we should tell our (full name/nick name), age, where's your middle school, and your hobbies, some ask few other questions, too, my hobby is drawing, then I also said that I love watching anime, the next few days my class mate asked me "can you draw this?", and I try to draw it, then tomorrow my other class mate ask me "can you draw me?" then I try to draw her, then her friends ask me to draw them, then the first people who ask me to draw, he ask me to draw a anime character, and I try to draw it and I love watching your videos ❤

[@nobutreally5948]

Mom: Come on now, show your aunt that pretty sketchbook of yours Me: Uuh nah, I don't- Aunt: Oh I'd love to see that, where is it? Me: Mom: don't bE RUDE *"Mom, welcome to your tape."*

[@Asami147]

And that's why I don't show anything to any adult ;-;

[@cultishmagic3276]

[@maybeanalien6486]

“Can you draw this anime character for me?” “No.” “YOUR SO RUDE!” “I have trust issues. A dude once stole my art and claimed it as his.” “I won’t do that!” *looks at person* *”that’s what he said.”*

[@brayancedeno2253]

I would pay the 20$

[@crepejeanette4918]

...... Breathes..... What most of those insulting swines were so wrong. If they're going to complain about the price, then, why insult the artist? An artists' life is worse than any simple and ordinary mortal.

[@thatoniondude]

I'm an onion. I'm easy to draw. Please. I'll pay you potato.

also, i would buy that keychain, but i just remembered i live at the other side of THE FUCKING PLANET

[@muffinthelegend8573]

Its not the draw ME its draw FOR me

[@n0tl4nc38]

I completely agree with this statement You become and artist to let out you imagination and let ideas be able to be comprehended by other people, but other *_NON-ARTIST_* think that making art is just putting pencil on paper and making something *_ART IS THE WINDOW TO THE SOUL GOD DAMN IT_*

[@n0tl4nc38]

Oh lord I sound so old I’m like... 12 and I sound like my dad already

[@addysonzylla3542]

100th like :)

[@thegamingillustrator]

I once got an entire canvas stolen in art class. It was my best work too. I still haven't regained my confidence to draw fluidly, and i got an F on the project.

[@LovelyRoses_23]

[@mrshroude12]

your voice is so fucking soft and sweet and smol

[@ordinaryaverageguy76]

Kinda wish she'd do an ASMR-like thing where her voice goes on for a long time. I believe it would be quite relaxing to listen to.

[@mrshroude12]

ordinaryaverageguy nope those are gross to listen to

[@ordinaryaverageguy76]

***** Some are kinda gross but I was thinking of things like role-plays or readings or rambles. Not something like the slurpy mouth noises ones (not to be dissing people who like them).

[@mrshroude12]

ordinaryaverageguy i got what you mean, i just dont like ASMR's in general. the whispering ones annoy me lol

[@ordinaryaverageguy76]

[@joandky1332]

Ahah sorry I didn’t mean to say ur friend is bad.

[@rowensapphireperez-glorian9746]

I know I'm late watching this and reading this comment My opinion is: Then why did they a favor if they are gonna ask you to draw something in someone artstyle

[@l.t7095]

This is why I only have one friend.

[@HeartOfClod]

25 dollars is expensive? WTF

[@Cheerfuljochan]

I have met people that thought even 5 dollars were expensive :/ Their argument usually goes something like this "But art is not something actually useful in the society, there for it should be dirt cheap to get!" . . . . . . . . :/

[@hirofarre]

Hugo Santos Heh...you'd be amazed at how many people say $25 is expensive. Then you also get people who tell you that they got the same/better quality of art for free and say something along the lines of "Why can't you just do it for free?" like in the video. Annoying af to deal with people like that; which is why I draw for free but only when I want to.

[@HeartOfClod]

I mean, it's a job if you ask for money, and I'm pretty sure you feel like you should be paid for your talent. If that ideology was true, then I would ask hookers "Why can't you do it for free? My husband/wife does." ._.

[@hirofarre]

Hugo Santos It's hard to make art a job ^ - ^;; so I made it a hobby instead that isn't paid at all...people can choose to pay me if they wanted to though. I just don't like the hassle that is judgment on prices > - < I'm pretty sure other artists think way differently than I do though against these odds.

[@HeartOfClod]

Oh yeah, I wasn't particularly targeting you on that analogy. I was just saying that if someone asks your to do something that you're good at, and it will take time, patience and concentration, you have the right to ask for money; it's something that you're better at than most people.

Guy: *clearly traces a picture* Me: *exposes him/her* Guy: "iT's JuST a rEfERenCe" Me: "wtf?"

[@strxight6513]

@SabrinaScribbles I know? What im tryna say is tracers use "reference" as a excuse. I already have a picture they traced and they say its a reference. I know whats the difference between tracing And reference. they can use someones reference of colors, poses and etc. And i do not care, but if they trace a picture, like an anime girl from google line by line. Thats considered tracing.

[@Cris-si8gv]

Ah. I was in that era when I was like young??? But then I realized I felt guilty and decided to credited them back. Now I’m currently 12 years old and actually improving in drawing heads (hair, eyes, noses, mouth, not so much with the ears) :DD Much more refreshing than tracing, cuz it makes it feel like I ACTUALLY DREW IT. I guess I was just not a sucker for guilt. I guess I could give you a pass for tracing things in such a young age unless you’re bragging too much and still currently doing it.

[@stormrave5371]

One artist to another, I feel your pain. The struggle is real. But keep drawing! Don't let the haters neg you out! you just earned yourself another subscriber!

[@tomtran5643]

Does this really happen to artists?!!?

[@malicewithalice]

more often than it should, especially the whole "I'll pay you in exposure" bit.

[@cetitanenthusiast776]

Yeah, pretty much. Some of this stuff has happened to friends of mine quite a bit.

[@Tsukuruya]

It does really often. I had a friend who does some art and also commission others. Yeah, people can be pretty damn cheap as hell in terms of trying to get someone draw shit for you...

[@TELEKINETICxBOLT]

Tom Tran it can actually be worse at times

[@zemidamebris8845]

[@gioV_destinyasmr]

Going to art school, this video made me glad I'm not planning to be independent

[@2centschange]

Unfortunately, you're basically going to be living the imitation part over and over and over again. Not saying it's a bad thing, it's the nature of the bizz, but there's give an take in either path.

[@gioV_destinyasmr]

Matthew Daye don't think so actually, getting a Bachelor's in Interactive Design/Game Development (also maybe fiddle with photography) Every idea won't be my own or original but I think contributing to the cause (creating environments/characters that is) is enough for me

[@TheHiroyukiutatane]

+II-_ZiggZagg_-II. Going to art school? You should read "Don't go to Art School" written by Noah Bradley. He has lots of practical advices that every art student can learn from. He's not saying that everyone should stop going to art school altogether. He himself has been to art school before. But he suggests that you can achieve pretty much the same level without spending a fortune at art schools.

[@SteamSigun]

idk, I have mixed feelings about the 'Don't go to Art School' plus I guess it depends on at which country's art schools we're looking at and what kind of art schools. I used to be on IT engineer studies with graphics, turned out it was mostly IT and nothing about graphic; now I moved to art school with focus on digital stuff (wikipedia suggests its english equivalent is bachelor of arts) but with a variety of traditional media activities (which I consider great, there are great computer sets here, if we need to we can use them after classes as long as the building is open and for example we can use an actual press for linocuts, which is not something anyone can just have at home). Now I feel like I made a right choice. Other good things are you can talk with professionals who work at many various fields of arts (not some sort of staying only at school professors who are out of touch with what is happening; you don't have to agree 100% with everything they say, since many of them have their 'religions'- certain lists of 'do's & 'don't's, but still I would advise to hear them out). Besides that, it kinda puts the pressure of deadlines, so you just go with it and it kinda helps to stay productive. But there's also other kinds of art school, academy of fine arts is a totally different experience even though you also get b-o-a degree. Overall, I decided to spend the money on a-s, of course I could've spent it on high-end custom built pc + software, books, online and real-life courses, but I know it'd be more stress-inducing (what would be bad for my episodes of depression) and I wouldn't have the opportunity to meet all those people (which may be weird considering slight social anxiety and dislike of crowded areas), already at first year I've learned quite a lot and I suppose I wouldn't find some of that knowledge online, or at least not that quickly. On final note, I disagree with the comment about imitation part. Yes, there are tasks everyone does to learn basics, but -at least in my case- later on it's up to us to decide what we're doing. But hey, overall it's up to you, only you know what appeals the most to you and we, random people here, don't know your situation or how are things where you live (well, unless they happen to live nearby); whatever your decisions are, wish you best luck on finding best thing for you :D

[@TheHiroyukiutatane]

SteamSigun It all depends on the art school. If you go to a training school where it directly gets you prepared for professional, real works that you'll be doing for companies, that's a good place. Noah Bradley also talked about the pressure of deadline and how it pushes you over your limit. However, he still believes that the amount of money he put into the art school was not well worth it and could have been spent differently and more efficiently. THUS he PROVIDED alternatives, books, tutorials, and other resources at the end of his articles if you do not plan to go to art school but still want to be able to achieve to the same level as he is or higher. It's not just an opinion piece. It's a helpful guideline made by a professional painter to help out his fellow artists.

[@Token-p1s]

gosh the advertising really ruins this picture. just dont do the website, and just give your work to me. No you wont get paid, but you'll get a TON OF EXPOSURE! JK lil, but fo real, can you draw me a puppy in picasso's style?

[@jessicaahlgren1462]

These are hilarious! Totally relate to people asking me to draw in someone else’s style. Like plz no it’s such a pain and so time consuming. But anyway loved the jokes and if I may add I would’ve put a “Sold out” on one of the products at the end just to add to the rage but that’s only a suggestion and not pointing out mistakes. Love the work and your voice is so soothingly passive aggressive.

[@jesterjacks3933]

Y'all remember being the art kid in school? You had zero friends until you had to draw for a project

[@Louis-b8j3g]

so true i literally became popular at school once because of my art

[@fruityeel]

When I was in the fourth grade, I started selling my art for a dollar (lmao) and a few people would buy it. But then some other people would see me drawing and they'd be like "hey, can you draw me? I'll pay you more!!" so obviously I was like HELL YEAH, then they wouldn't pay me. So my fourth grade self learned to take the money BEFORE I've given the person the drawing. :^))

[@loriadawson3261]

AmeliaPanics I know how you feel. In sixth grade I got an offer and never got paid. I gave up.

[@cyokoh]

I really relate to this! Every kid in my school asks me if i can draw them

[@Micah875]

Me just one.. person.... and my BFF are good at drawing two of them I ask one of my BFF "can you draw this" then I realized its annoying. seeing my art is really bad.. I can compare to my other friends work I was like "oh... ok... I get it..." *struggle starts there*

[@kawaiicookie7192]

A couple weeks ago my "friends" asked me to draw them, so I did it. After I finished, they told me to give it to them, and I did. The next day, I saw them giving a drawing that looked exactly like mine to someone else, but it had their signature on it. I confronted them but they showed me the original art that I drew for them. One of my real friends told me that he was tracing all of my work and charging money for "his" drawings.

Oh my goodness, don't even get me started on that stupid "exposure" excuse. All that they usually do is just say your name in a KZbin description... but 99% of people don't even look at that anymore so it basically adds up to nothing except the YT/Internet person you're doing it for getting all the credit. This video is far too true, it hurts.

[@embered_shot]

Another problem is if you draw something for an assignment then the teacher always says, "I can't wait to see what you draw next!" or she picks it up and shows the whole class.

[@lordtony8276]

Programmers get that same kind of exposure stuff. It takes the form of, "I can't pay you now but I have this great app idea and I will give you 20% of whatever I get when it starts to sell." It will never sell.
