To all people who complain about how badly they...
Shut up and work for improvement if you really want to get better. You don’t seem to get it, that there are only one or two people born with amazing artistic abilities. Everyone else, yes, even the greatest of artists, has to work for it, asking for critique, buying books on anatomy, attending colleges for art, etc. The key word is work. You will not be given some genie in a lamp who will...

Editing Pictures That Aren't Yours is Wrong
The tumblr blog yaoiland is taking photo’s and watermarking them to “distinguish” their post from other yaoi blog post but I think it’s wrong. They’re watermarking pictures that they did not draw, illustrate, or put any effort into whatsoever (aside from adding their watermark) and I really just want the artists out on the webs to be aware in case any of those artist...

I'm really tempted to quit drawing females...
Ever since I’ve made my drawing technique into a more realistic style, a lot of my friends keep calling all the female characters I draw manly. I look at them, and I don’t see a single of their faces that have a ‘manly’ (as in they all have muscles on their face) attribute to them, and it really hurts my feelings even though it sounds stupid.
I just don’t want to...

I am not a professional artist. I am not even an...
I have never been. I have zero art education. My pictures have never had any deep meaning behind them. No symbolism. None of my artworks are all that personal in meaning. I see or think of something nice, I paint it, and I paint it fast, just to get the picture out of my head. I do not actively seek to improve. So while I do appreciate the criticism and your effort, I do, meticulously tearing...

I wish I could draw again.
I love art and always will. But after school picked up, life got busy, needing to grow up fast, I could never draw again. After I lost my girlfriend, fell into steep depression and a jumble of other crisis… you’d think art would be what pulled me to my feet. But it wasn’t and now I have no love for my work or myself. Wasting time making pretty pictures that will not help me...

I find it very frustrating that compliments on art are so freely given out, and expected… if I see art that I don’t think is very good, I am not going to say “I love it!!” just for the sake of posting a comment and getting other people to like me back. When I give out compliments, I really mean them, and I try to say exactly what it is I like about your art. (And if I...

I was praised for improving so much using ebony pencils and getting into a high ranking art magnet school after my only 4 months of art school in my life. Though my problem is that I can’t draw people or proper anatomy, and it frustrates me to no end.
I’m only okay with a pencil (when I’m doing things like still life drawings), but I’m horrible with a tablet. I’m...
