Lucky! When I was younger I used to ask my mom what she thought about it and make her guess what it was and cry if she didn’t guess correctly on the first try. She refers to them as “art tests” and will jokingly ask if It’s an art test when I show her my art. It’s not that I can’t handle criticism, it’s just that I can’t handle criticism.

Its something called Fishing for Compliments; its when someone says something along the lines of "im so stupid" or "im so ugly" or "im bad at everything" etc. Etc. Because people will say things like "you're super smart!" And other compliments. Its basically a very common, annoying way to get compliments. If it were me, I'd just do something worth complimenting, but some people are lazy and others dont realise they're doing it. Im no scientist or therapist or anything though, this is just what I know about it and is mostly my opinion and view on it

The three devils of drawing in my opinion are: •Hair- I can't for the life of me get hair to look different, due to me drawing ONE hairstyle. •Mouths- I can't get a smile, a smirk, or a frown to look good. It's almost like emotions aren't my specialty. •Hands- They're. Hands. End of statement Edit: alot of people have given me tips for realistic drawing, which I'm not mad about seen as alot of others struggle with it, and I feel like I should specify something; I don't. I gravitate more towards an animation kinda style. Again, I appretiate the tips given, realism just isn't my piece de resistance :/

I had to make an oil painting as a final project for my senior year art class. It was a lighthouse sitting in a rocky bay with mountains in the background and a sunset. I thought it was an utter piece of shit despite what my family kept saying and several good friends who are also artists. I didn’t listen because “oh they’re just my family/friends, they’re just saying that so I don’t feel bad.” Then I take it into class for a grade and I go up to my teacher to show her and say “Take a good look, I’m burning this when I get home.” She takes one look at it and tells me to leave it in the classroom because if I don’t want it, she does. So I leave it there and then go home and then after a few days, while walking around in the hallway, I kept getting stopped by people saying “Hey, I saw your painting! It’s really good!” And then they’d walk away. I went to see what they were talking about and I saw my painting hung up outside the classroom with a group of people standing around it looking at it. When I came near the group, several people turned around and told me what a good job I did and that it was fantastic. So long story short, I made a painting, thought it was shit, planned to burn it but found out it wasn’t shit and everyone thought it was awesome except me. The moral of the story is to not let your own doubts get you down

I sort of sway between being confident with my art, feeling confused, and hating my art. Frankly, I do believe if you hate all your art and can see the flaws almost right away, you're improving very quickly. Try using more references and just sketch. Don't try to refine your art down to the line, just sketch out some things and you'll feel better. I find whenever I try to make everything symmetrical and perfect, I end up with an art piece with no personality. If you sketch without worrying too much, you can end up with something that feels more alive.

[@ic7846]

As I've grown older, I actually started liking my drawings more and more. I have thought about why that is and I think it's because I don't draw as serious as I used to. Lately I've just been doodling more than anything else. And because of that, I can always find something to appreciate in every drawing. I still don't think they are masterpieces, but sometimes I'm just proud of the idea. I used to stress over so many small details, and now I don't really mind the mistakes any more

Don't spend a lot of time focusing on what you did wrong in your drawing. Just make more drawings and you will get better.

[@xCr0nus]

What I found really reduced my anxiety and over-analyzing of my own art is to simply hold off judgement while working on it, and decide if I like how it looks upon backing up a bit and looking at it from further away. In reality, most of the time the only artwork you're looking at that closely is your own. But if you were to get up super close to even a very skilled artist's artwork in the same way you would with your own, you would definitely begin to notice some flaws that weren't apparent at first glance.

When I first draw something I say, “Wow, I think I’m improving! This looks better than my old attempts!” And then the more I look at it the more I see the flaws and I start to think it doesn’t look good. Edit: Oh she said the same thing, I guess I’m not the only one, I feel better now, I hope I can improve.

[@watakashe6072]

Usually the things that look off are really easy to fix! An eye being in the wrong place, or the head being disproportionate, are really easy to fix and can make a huge difference. As you flip the canvas more often in each of your pieces, you'll start to put things in the right place automatically, and the reverse image won't look as weird anymore. I used to do the same thing and flipping the canvas did so much for my artwork.

[@springheeledjax]

Most artists I know heavily critique their own art and give themselves no credit. What I've learned is that even if I know what I've drawn looks like shit, I can still be happy with myself for improving on something, or trying something new, or just knowing that I'll get better if I keep on the same path. I've come to a point with my art that I'm usually happy with the outcome, but I'm not blind with the flaws. Getting other people's opinions helps a lot. Mainly people who are better artists than me give me the best critiques. It doesn't feel good to hate all your art. You gotta look on the bright side more and if there's a glaring flaws you notice in your art, work on it! Look stuff up, see what your doing wrong. At least that's how I see it. If you're just drawing for the fun of it, then whatever, just keep doing what makes you happy.

@@Julesbn09 That was the FIRST thing I did...

[@sixharp9456]

when I was younger, like 6 or so, I would draw pokemon alot. My friends did this too. we were all obsessed with pokemon. One time my friend shows me one of her pokemon drawings and goes "look this is my best one!" I was stunned, because it was AMAZING and looked EXACTLY like the pokemon. my best drawing didn't even come close. She didn't seem that proud of it though, and was just kinda like 'oh I made it accurate. cool!' I asked her how she was so good, because for me it would be hard to get the lines the right length and such. She was like "oh cause I traced it" and I was like "what?" and she said "don't you trace too?" and the thought of tracing pokemon drawings had never entered my head. "that's like cheating!" I said. She was like "hm. I do this with all of mine." I never traced drawing growing up, because I didn't see the point of drawing something if you just put a piece of paper over a tablet and drew over it. Why? if it turns out good, you can't even feel proud because you literally just drew over some lines that were already there. But that's just my opinion. -\(``/)/-

This really helps!!! Especially the traditional art flip tip!! You are amazing!! Love your vids!!

[@annoyinglacey875]

The thing is, if you're overly critical on your art after putting it on some kind of social media platform then so many people will assume you just want attention (minus people who clearly _are_ just looking for attention, and it isn't just based on assumptions) but if you act a certain amount happy about it people will think you're cocky so when I make art I don't even want to upload it even if I made to upload it, I act nervous about my art and even that is a lot better than how I really feel about it. I used to be very confident in my art, but I quite honestly made a lot of mistakes (e.g. giving my characters bobble heads and hiding parts like hands because I didnt want to even try to draw it) that I don"t make now, and even though I'm more experienced and a lot better I still judge every little detail and error to the point that I only see my mistakes

[@bluefeather8101]

I absolutely adore how you described these tips! They were unbelievably relatable to me, and it truly explains to us artists that, even if we see our art as "bad" or "hard to look at", our art skills just take bundles of time, effort, and hard work. Even to someone like me, who has a hard time with critiquing my art. I have also experienced the devestating results of flipping my art over and seeing so many wonky errors that it really made me realize just how much I had to learn. Plus, the color choice and the "more detail and time = better" beliefs I had, and so on. I truly believe that your advice in this video will help so many people with their art. You are so awesome and talented. Thank you. :)
