A Word from out PATRON OF THE MONTH! "When I found out that I would be able to share something on your video, I was ecstatic! What a surprise! I have loved being able to be in this lovely community of artists and to be able to share in the abundance of art. I love your art and the wonderful work you do. Thank you for helping create this community where we can all come together. It has even inspired me to share my art on an etsy shop.

Emily Artful. I’m an artist, but my friends that I’m less close with were asking me at school today asking for art. I only did free art for my sisters and family. Also a free one for my best friend but they just were like, “this girl works like 3 hours on this art plus it’s using expensive supplies and have homework on top of a busy schedule, I’ll take one” and think they could get it for free. I was being very generous when I said they could get a drawing for $6. But no. They wanted it for free. Totally understand how you feel.

I think there are a few common reasons why people beg for free art: -They don't see the value in it because it doesn't serve a functional purpose -They expect you to be able to make something in 5 minutes: they have no understanding about the creative process -They think of drawing as a hobby and something for "fun" rather than an occupation (and then get surprised when you're earning money/a living from it, and that other people are actually willing to pay for what your art is worth) -They think of drawing ability as a gift (and it's your duty to share it with others) rather than an actual skill we've had to work hard on and spend a lot of time on to develop -They think that by asking for free art they're showing appreciation to the artist, or because they're a "big fan" they deserve it in some way Somehow though I've only encountered a couple choosing beggars so far asking for free art. Rather than being asked for free art though I tend to get asked for free private tutelage from randos. I reckon demographics plays a huge role!

I was about to post something similar. People just think something that they think is a leisure activity should be done for free.. Coloring, drawing, painting is very often seen as a leisure activity.. Not something you do as a job or "not a REAL job." because if you are not dealing with the mundane 9-5 garbage, having to get up at a particular time and sleep at a particular time, forcing your self to do something you hate like they do, it's not a real job. Real job also sometimes requires you to suffer in some way on a physical level.. ​ Croggo Doggo The talent is actually in patience i think rather than the art its self. Some people yes do learn the skill quite quickly to where it seems like just a natural thing though. When I talk to people about art and they go I wish I could do what you do I just laugh and am like I am not even that good you can probably get to my level pretty easily if you just took the time to do it. After a bit of time and after I am just like I have books n stuff and my old art college papers somewhere you can look through... the thing I end up hearing the most is.. eehh I don't have the patience for something like that. So at the end of the day its patience that people don't have.

More when they have 0 connection with art (music, books, dance or related) because they have 0 clue of how it's done, the work, the effort, the struggle behind, they just see others making it, because they were born natural artists and dancers, like we got a gene they just don't have, so, it's like we owe them our art.

When the hair dresser said “you can’t just do it for free?” You should have said “you can’t just cut my hair for free?” Now THAT would have ended her😂

[@wge621]

That was definitely the worst. Hilarious that she thinks it's impossible to cut hair without going to school for it as well

roodles as a teenager I can confirm I can cut hair without education haha.

Someone what about music? theres tons of music ARTISTS making millions.

[@Menplzdonttalktome]

@Someone so is your house not decorated with photos, paintings, drawings, anything that makes you feel happy when you look at it? God your comment is so stupid, do you know how much time some artists spend on painting? They do not just sit around all day... They are helping society stay sane and express themselves and enjoy themselves, the same could be said for actors and dancers so what are they not real jobs now either? Get over yourself lol. Maybe take a history or culture class and see how art and literature has shaped and affected cultures all over the world through time and even still today then come back and say art doesn't affect society.

If they ask you for free stuff, they are not your real friends. TRUE friends would def appreciate your work and will be more than willing to pay you for what your works deserve.

@@anunoriginalperson2262 They both sound stupid as shit, it's not about "true" friends. It's about what you think is an appropriate exchange. Picture -> nothing because you're really good friends, cool. picture-> money because it takes time, cool. picture-> doing something in exchange because that service was wanted/needed, cool. The only requirements are that both parties are content with their part of the deal.

[@DeedleBug]

things that annoy me in art: 1.people staring over your shoulder 2.people saying they suck at art and they make you feel bad 3.people asking for drawings 4.people looking in your sketch book/folder WITHOUT permission 5. (credit to Just Ianah2) when they ask where the bodyparts are while your CLEARLY still drawing 6. people saying "your rude" for saying no to giving drawings I hope in not the only one with these problems

[@XiaLingLing]

I made a launch poster for my friend and his band for free... took me ages. They never gave me any insight into what they wanted and I had to go and find the support bands to add to the image. Took me two days as I’m visually impaired so takes me ages to draw. Sent them the image. Just got a thumbs up. Then an hour later one of the members tells me they wanted a gambling theme?!! And could I change it.... I said I’m not completely changing it, it’ll take me too long. So I added dice like they were coming out of the rocket and lucky 777 on the rocket itself. ... they didn’t even use the damn poster. They made their own which was LITERALLY just a load of white writing on a plain black background.... no theme, no images. Euugh!!! DON’T SELL YOURSELF SHORT KIDS! NOT EVEN FOR YOUR FRIENDS!!

[@cynloh2302]

OMG I had something similar happen to me, was asked to make a design for business cards for a buddy of mine in a band. Barely communicated what they wanted but when I finished they said it was perfect. They offered to pay me when they had cash and I said alright I'll send you the final image when you can pay me.... About a month later I see they got someone else to rip off my design for free. Needless to say we don't speak anymore :/

[@XiaLingLing]

Cyn Loh oh my gosh that’s awful!! I hope you watermark the heck outta your work after that. That’s such a sh**ty thing to do :/

Art is such a hard career. No one takes it seriously. I love painting too, and I would love to eventually make some money out of it. This is something I'm dealing with, people wanting artwork but not wanting to pay for it. Also the prices you mentioned in the first example were really cheap.

[@peepoo4451]

""""Art is a natural born talent"""" Like yes I was birthed and began to draw like picasso

[@sweet14dreams93]

Picasso didn't even start painting until he was 27 and it took him a while to get his art style he probably had dozens of not good art before it's just the museum wouldn't show you that bc it wouldn't catch your attention as much as the better ones he has
