I find portraits cool because you could have a certain thing you look at every day that eats you up inside and the artist doesn't even see it and focuses on 10 other things that they appreciate. It's weirdly nice idk lol

Drawing anime and or Manga is really hard especially when trying to make it look like a actual person but I think the biggest downfall from that artist was giving examples of their work that didn't really add up to what they produced. The drawing was good just wasn't the same level of detail as shown in their sample pictures.

[@mystical_pegasus]

As a fine arts major I totally understood what Lauren was expecting. The details, the contrast, the mediums, etc are important to make an overall beautiful piece that she said some where lacking. For the most part, a lot of them were good especially for the prices. Pricing your artworks is hard and most artists starting out under sell their artworks. As they grow, their prices should grow as well.

[@hannahmitchell8683]

I’m an art major as well, and I was genuinely shocked by how much some of these people are underselling themselves!

[@mystical_pegasus]

@@hannahmitchell8683 they are severely underselling themselves. I thought I was underselling my art for like 50-100$, maybe 200$ but 10-40$ for a work art like that is extremely undervalued. I wish they could understand that their art is worth so much more.

As an artist, 2 and last smells like ai art but can’t be sure but 4 is totally a filter/app! Some artist do use ai art as a shortcut and re-arrange it so the last one could be this! But fiiver seems like there are so many scams ! 9 & 11 are definitely my favorites !!

As an artist, I am so grateful to you for making this video! I have a lot of artist friends who do commission work, and since AI became such a huge thing, they are really suffering. They rarely get real commissions, becase most people just download an AI or photo editor app. Sadly real artist works lost a lot from their values... Oh and the scammers are making it even harder for us, like the watercolour one you showed... if someone only pays for commission work once, and has an experience like that, they disappoint so much, that they never hire any artist again. But I am so glad you had many cool results! 🥺❤

The unique artist whose art was second to last ... She should charge alot more than 15 dollars probably 30 dollars
